This trade isn't bad IMO opinion until you gave up Graham in your next one. I don't like that you have to start Wilson, he's shown nothing so far and the Giants are a dumpster fire.

Graham/CJ/Hilton for Desean/Jordan Cameron/MJD

I think CJ/Hilton for Cameron/MJD would've good. I don't think you got enough for Graham. If you're in a PPR then you definitely didn't.

Just my 2 cents. I think giving up graham and CJ in one trade was too much.

Yeah, I think you got taken personally. Graham is the single highest rated pass catcher in the game. I don't know if I'd even trade him for Calvin Johnson at this juncture in the season. MJD is next to useless, and while Johnson has had tough sledding, he's at least getting a TON of carries. Cobb and DeSean are definite upgrades to you WR, but you gave up two of the premier red zone TE's, and a budding RB that is slowly taking over the job in Cincinnati.

I don't know man. I don't like the trades personally, but hope they turn out in your favor.

You guys have pretty much hit on my concerns. I'm not ignorant to Jimmy's stupidity (as in, it's stupid how amazing he is, how he's leading the league in points (outside QBs)).

I'm not sure I had to do the 2nd trade. Especially thinking that after hearing your input.

@RawDawg I think Bell will normally be starting over Wilson but he's on a bye.

I think the only mistake is giving up graham. Wilson is definitely talented enough if the giants can get going, but the other guy got the best player of the bunch and that's usually who "wins" trade. You're also relying a lot now on a browns player, which isn't the safest thing to do.
