Dynasty Trade Possibility

I'm coming up to draft time in my keeper league and have a very interesting prospect of a trade on my hands. It may be confusing, but I'll try to set it straight as best I can because I'm really looking for a lot of opinions on the matter.

Important Note: This trade will be set to take place just AFTER THE DRAFT, so it is a bit of an interesting situation.

This is a standard 5x5 league with 20 teams, so it's pretty deep.

I will be trading: Jason Kubel ($13 - 2 years), Brian Roberts ($31 - 1 year), AJ Burnett ($19 - 2 years), any Catcher I draft ($1 - 3 years), and the 14th overall pick

I will be receiving: Mike Aviles ($7 - 2 years), Jarrod Saltalamacchia ($5 - 3 years), any Starting Pitcher Left ($1 - 3 years), any Relief Pitcher left ($1 - 3 years), and the 3rd overall pick

What I have been thinking for my own team would be to let both Kubel and Roberts go into the auction and try to get them back. That mindset would lead me to really only be trading Burnett and my 14th pick for Aviles, Salty, and the 3rd overall. The only thing would be that if the trade happens where I'd have to be keeping Kubel/Roberts, they would affect my 15 keepers total.

My top available minor league picks would be:

Strasburg

Bumgarner

Cahill

B. Anderson

Feliz

Hanson

Fowler

Hosmer

Posey

Tillman

G. Beckham

Stanton

T. Beckham

Alderson

Chacin

C. Santana

Alonso

It seems that the jump from 3rd overall (Cahill, Anderson, Feliz, Hanson) down to 14th overall (Alderson, Chacin, Santana, Alonso) is a pretty good jump. Not to mention, I have the 6th and 11th overall already.

Do you think I'd be giving up too much to get Aviles and Salty in return with a SP/RP and the 3rd overall?

I feel like I'm leaning towards I am giving up a bit much, but what do you all think?
