As for letter 2, if you fail to land that trophy (which I majorly suspect will be the case), you're going to be kicking yourself for finishing outside the bottom 6 and giving up a top end pick, not the bottom end you mistakenly believe they will be. Trust me, I speak forom expoerience, as someone who had that happen last year, with a team built to win it all on paper, but shy on depth like yours. It won't take much for you to fall short of your goal being as thin as you are in most areas. Nothing hurt more last year then struggling with injuries, watching my title dreams go down the drain, and knowing somebody else controlled my #1 pick.

Actually, I was the one who brought up Williams. We had decided to put the dealings on the back burner (until the next day when Frank would have asked about Evans again). And getting another quality back gives me more depth. That was where my depth was lacking. True, an injury to LT, CJ or Wayne will cripple me, but how many teams can lose one of their top 3 players and not have a major impact? I don't see anyone that can replace an LT, and in your instance an SA. Those are the dice we roll. And still you almost made it into the playoff (I think we have all heard the .1 point loss keeping you from the playoffs story a few times by now). I think my team stacks up well against Franks, and while this trade makes Frank a bit stronger, I feel it also makes me a bit stronger in the long run. But we'll see.
