Welker/McGahee for D. Bowe

I'm thinking about offering Welker & McGahee for Bowe. My league gives .5 points per reception. I already have Randy Moss. I was looking to draft Bowe but he went right before me so I took Welker(best available). The reason I'm doing 2 for 1 is because I need to free up a roster space and, obviously, if the guy wanted Welker he could have taken him.

I'd appreciate your thoughts.

I'd do it, I'm just not sure your mark will bite. McGahee will give points erratically at best, and though Welker is the model of consistency, I wouldn't want to have to field an all-Patriots WR squad. Bowe has some risk, but I still see this trade as giving away a solid WR2 for a low-end WR1. IMO.
