Please review this trade. Two first round picks seem excessive for a WR with average speed.

I agree it's too much but he is a converted RB so he will loose weight and get slightly faster. Doesn't change much but I just wanted to point it out.

The very cap friendly contract should be considered. That is worth something in itself

Otterpop proposed the deal with me giving up a future 4th and 5th. I said I would like to keep my 4th in which he said sure, just counter with a 5th. I added an extra 5th to be more fair towards him.

I appreciate league members asking for a review and I will accept the mitty's decision

Besides his speed what else on his player card that you see is below norm?

I want to point out I am the one that approached Houston with this deal. For the past 3 seasons, my 1st round draft picks have been on the lower side of the round. So my 1st round picks do not hold that much value. So I had to offer both of my 1st round picks. I know the risk that was involved when I offer the deal and prepared to be without 1st round picks. My team is pretty young and I think my team will continue to be strong the next 2 seasons without a 1st round pick.

If it gets reviewed I am cool with it. I just wanted it to known I knew what I was doing I made this deal.

Now you see the benefits of renegotiation

I stated my reason in my original post, no further explanation should be necessary on my part. Thanks to you and Booger for explaining your process.
