Would you trade Rob Gronkowski for Jermichael Finley and Demarco Murray? Seems like a pretty easy Yes to me.

I would if I needed RB help. (especially if I owned Felix)

I'd need to know team, scoring, league info etc.
Gronk is that much better that I wouldn't make this a no-brainer unless RB was a real need.

There will be lots of QB's available in the draft. Ben, Bradford, Freeman, Flynn, etc.

I would prefer to have the sure thing in Gronk based on your current players and the fact that you have 1.1 and 1.2

That's the beauty of keeper leagues, some of the deals that should be obvious aren't so obvious anymore. I'd normally say yes since Finley is a prime buy-low while Gronk is a prime sell-high. I'd then tell you to trade the 1.2 for a QB.....but, the issue is that taking on Murray gives you 7-solid keepers w/no more room. You can always select BPA with 1.2 and trade that piece later for a QB. The issue I have is that your starting lineup takes a small hit and next off-season you would have to make some hard decisions on who to cut unless you do some 2 for 1 deals before then which is always possible. I'm rambling, but my point is that there are pros and cons to each side, and I think you're fine staying since you have the two premium picks, but you are also fine trading as it gives you extra trade chips to get a QB later IMO. If forced to make a decision I would take it knowing that it's setting me up better for my next trade whether it's for a QB or another major upgrade.

This league is filled with "special" people. For example, last year a guy dropped Jason Witten to keep Anthony Dixon. It is very difficult to trade. I have won 2 of the last 3 years. The year one I got 3rd place was the game that Vick had 40 some odd points and both my RB's got injured in the first quarter. And I still only lost by about 8 points. So right now there are 2 of us that have all the good players. The other owner uses his extra pieces to get what I want then I trade him for what I need.

In that case I keep my starting lineup as strong as possible and keep Gronk.

No brainer for me regardless of format or team structure. Gronk won't repeat record TD numbers.

Next move is to trade McGahee for a 2nd round pick so I can get a startable QB.
I also have 1.02 on the block to see if anyone is interested in a draft day trade. Perhaps 1.02 for Brees. Tough owner to crack though. He does have Brees and Cam in a 1 QB league. Tough to keep 2 QB's with only 7 keepers.
Although I might just draft Richardson and a WR at 1.01 and 1.02, then see who pans out and make a move for a stud QB in the first couple weeks.

I think 1.2 would be great value for him when he already has Cam, unless there are some othe teams that need a stud QB. He could then hold out to explore all options.
