Use the bye week to your advantage in getting someone up to speed. Maybe you start getting a small return on your investment by Week 8-9 and full speed by the playoffs.
Otherwise, unless you're dealing for someone that already knows the system, there's a chance you're just throwing away a pick.
But it's not like it's their choice alone. You need another side willing to move a player. And why wouldn't those teams just wait in hopes that something turns into a bidding war?
If you really want a player now - weeks before the deadline - you'll very likely have to pay more than you would at the deadline itself.

I agree completely, and I think it's worth the slight overpay to get the new guy in during a bye week.
