Stand pat or make a move to try and win now? (1 Viewer)

Currently I would have the 4 seed out of 6 seeds in the playoffs if season ended today. So torn on whether to stand pat and use my 3 first round rookie picks in 2017 or do I trade a pick or two and try to add some depth that gives me a shot to win now?
Input appreciated. Will answer your question, leave a link.
 
 
I am loaded at RB, TE, and QB, but my WR situation (must start 3) is as follows:
Snead, Willie NOS WR
Diggs, Stefon MIN WR 
Benjamin, Travis SDC WR
Patterson, Cordarrelle MIN
Boyd, Tyler CIN WR (R)
Sharpe, Tajae TEN WR (R)
Higgins, Rashard CLE WR (R)
Peake, Charone NYJ WR (R)
 
One other note to consider is I own KC Chiefs RB Spencer Ware and I own three 2017 Rookie Draft picks which look to be early 1st, mid 1st, and late 1st.I am aware of how valuable these 2017 draft picks are.
 
Ok 2 trade offers from this league to look at:
 
TRADE 1 -
You have received this trade from Jack:
    Jack will give
    Charles, Jamaal KCC RB
    Fitzgerald, Larry ARI WR
    Year 2018 Round 3 Draft Pick from Jack
   
To MY TEAM for
    Year 2017 Round 1 Draft Pick (likely 2017 mid 1st round)
Trade 2 -
You have received this trade offer from Jill:
    Jill will give
    McCoy, LeSean BUF RB
   
    To MY TEAM for
    Year 2017 Round 1 Draft Pick (likely 2017 mid 1st round)
 
Do you like either of these or do you think I hang tight with my 2017 picks?
 
Its hard to evaluate the McCoy deal since you didn't list your RB's and you have a significant hole at WR.  I am not one to value picks as much as most so I would definitely look to move a pick or two to improve my WR corps. 

What are the keeper rules for players?  That has a bearing on the trade evaluations.

Without knowing the keeper aspect here are my comments on the trades:

Trade 1 - I am not sold the Charles will come back to form and think you are just fine with Ware by himself.  It's a nice throw in but I wouldn't put a ton of value in getting him.  For giving up a 2017 1st I would think  you could do better than this offer.

Trade 2 - WR seems to be your need so "wasting" one of those pieces for a RB doesn't seem like the best use of it.  I have no idea what your RB situation is but I wouldn't do that for McCoy (especially with a hammie issue just popping up).

 
Hey Gally - Thanks for the reply. This is a dynasty league.

My RBs

Ajayi, Draughn, Gillislee, Hillman, Michael, Morris, Ware, and James White. Maybe not loaded, but my RB combo of Michael, Ware, and White are carrying my team.

 
You could definitely use some help at RB too so the McCoy offer isn't terrible.  However, it now looks like McCoy is out this week and "possible multiple weeks" so I would probably shy away from that at the moment.

 
One good thing, I have Shady's handcuff. So a trade wouldn't be as scary for me. Not sure why he is wanting to let McCoy go. Age? He is having a great year. Would you deal McCoy in dynasty? I sure as hell wouldn't.
