Rookie/FA this Friday…need help with trade idea

Dynasty League, standard scoring, no-ppr.

I have the No. 2 overall pick in the upcoming Rookie/FA draft (this Friday)

The team who has the No. 1 overall pick just made a deal that also gets him the 6th and 8th pick. I told him I’d be interested in the No. 6 and threw out some ideas. He acually bit on Michael Bush for the 6th overall, but then backed down. Now he wants FWP for the 6th overall pick.

My original plan was to pick Mendy (at No. 2 overall) to pair with FWP and have the Steelers backfield for now and the future. Do I change this approach?

Do I still pick Mendy at No. 2? Do I deal FWP for the 6th and hope that Chris Johnson falls to No. 6?

This guy is willing to deal the 6th overall pick. I’m just trying to find the right trade and fit for my team. Looking for suggestions.

My team:
Tom Brady, Jay Cutler, Matt Schaub
Joseph Addai, Willie Parker, Michael Bush, Carnell Williams, Chris Henry, Andre Hall, Ron Dayne
TJ Houshmanzadeh, Brandon Marshall, DJ Hackett, Robert Meacham, Bernard Berrian, Deion Branch
Tony Scheffler, Ben Watson

His team:
Delhomme, Roethy
Thomas Jones, Ricky williams, Chris Brown, Buckhalter, K. Faulk
M. Colston, Santonio Holmes, S. Moss, Bobby Engram,
Donald Lee, McMichael

He said he is going McFadden with the 1st pick…not surprising, but I asked.

Interesting.  See if he'll take Parker for #6 and a swap of 1 and 2.  Then you can land McFadden at #1 to go with Bush and he'll get Mendy/Parker.  And you'll get #6 to boot.

He's the one who originally came back with Michael Bush or FWP for the No. 6 overall.  I responded with “does this influence your No. 1 overall pick” and he said no.  He was going McFadden no matter what.  So, I offered Michael Bush for the 6th pick.

Then he got negative feedback from other guys in the league (at the office), so he came back with FWP for the 6th pick (still going McFadden at No. 1).

So, I can tell he's not interested in FWP/Mendy, just having Parker.

I could do it, and still go Mendy at No. 2 and get K. Smith, Forte, or Chris Johnson at No. 6, but then I'm starting a rookie RB from the start of the season with Addai.  I'd love to get Chris Johnson at No. 6, but I'm not sure he'll fall…with some of the latest hype on him.

Still wondering what to do.

Johnson just went at #4 in my dynasty draft, so he's definitely moving up.  I think the play is to take Mendy at #2 and hold off on the trade until you see who is there at #6.  If he's still there and you like Johnson that much, make a deal involving Parker for #6 - but I still think he's worth more than just that pick.

Basically comes down to FWP and Mendenhall vs. Mendenhall and K. Smith, Forte,  or Chris Johnson (whoever falls to No. 6)

I'll probably hold off.  Or let me know if you have any suggestions on other players to offer up.

Man, I would hate to be in a position where my two starters at running back are both on the same team.

I would have to do what X said and wait til the 6th pick to see if u still want to do the deal.  If it was me, I'd just stick with the pick or see if I trade Mike Bush to him after he takes McFadden
