Fantasy Trade Advice Needed

A little TD heavy scoring, with 1pt per 20 yards rush/rec and 40 yards passing, TDs 6 and 4 (passing). Flex and IDP, but doesn't come into play here.
My QBs are Brady/NE and Wilson/SEA
At WR, I've got Benjamin/CAR, Fuller/HOU, Britt/LA, Snead/NO, D Jackson/WAS, and Smith/BAL
I've been trying to work out a trade the past few days with someone who is deep at WR, but brutal at QB. His QBs are Taylor/BUF, Flacco/BAL, and Fitzpatrick/NYJ, and at WR he's got Nelson/GB, Fitzgerald/ARZ, Diggs/MIN, Crabtree/OAK, Pryor/CLE, Hogan/NE. Obviously, we seem like a natural fit as trade partners.
I threw out Brady for Nelson. He wants more for Nelson and we've been negotiating. I asked a friend about it today and he thinks I'm crazy and should get a lot more than Nelson for Brady. So I asked two more guys and they both agree that Brady is more valuable than Nelson. When I look at some of the stuff I read online, the CBS trade value chart has Brady at 22 and Nelson at 26 (higher is better). Karabell's rest of year rankings has Nelson 15th overall (#10WR) and Brady 30th overall (#1QB).
What are your thoughts on Brady for Nelson? And what do you think I should get if I shifted gears and tried to give up Wilson instead? Would you take Diggs/Crabtree? (Already tried Wilson for Fitzgerald and he's not interested)

I personally like DIggs so and if me would see if maybe would entertain Russel for Diggs. Its tough to come up with projections here as this is not traditional PPR or standard. Off top of head I'd still think QBs slightly more valuable here. Nelson doing ok but GB been in bit of funk here recently and guy is not setting world on fire.
Good luck
I would try to deal Wilson, he looks like he's playing hurt this year anyway and is not running as much. Would not surprise me if he gets injured again in that tough division. I like Crabtree slightly better than Diggs down the stretch so I would target him. He probably wouldn't give up Diggs anyway if he's using him as is WR3. Wilson for Crabtree makes sense for both teams. You'll be starting Brady every week anyways and he's got Pryor to fill in for Crabtree's spot. Good luck!
It's interesting, as the difference of opinion on the Brady vs. Nelson was huge. A poster at another forum told me that he though it was a no-brainer to try and pick up Nelson (and ESPN/CBS seem to agree), while a lot of others feel strongly the other way.
Thanks for the feedback guys.
