I'd do it... extra picks are always nice. And they can make nice trade bait as well. William Green probably isn't a keeper when you can only hold onto 3 of them, and Fred should have a better season than Green if healthy.

That's a close call, brother! I'm not crazy about Green, something I have made fairly clear, but I'm not too high on Taylor either. Based on the teams they respectively play on and Taylor's history of injuries, I don't know, but, extra picks aside, I would lean towards NOT doing it. If Green ever breaks out, this should be the year. Whereas, you kind of know what you got in Taylor, which is "eh".

You don't want to be the guy who traded Green in his breakout season and potentially be stuck with the injury-prone Taylor, who actually is nursing some kind of foot/toe injury right now and is on a Jaguars teams that is in transition, to put it mildly, without it's other superstar, Jimmy Smith, for four weeks, and which is probably going to be quarterbacked by a rook sooner than later.

You have to do this trade. Fred Taylor will consistently be drafted abut 3-5 RBs ahead of William Green in a straight redrft league. Only keeping 3 keepers means that the difference in age is a small factor. The extra draft picks seal the deal and clearly swing it in your favor.

I can't believe this guy gave you so much for Green...

He must think he knows something.

Even if Green goes crazy this year (I wouldn't hold my breath), I think you made a great trade. Taylor is always a ? with great potential, but those 3 trades will help your team in many other areas. Nice work. Let us know who you end up getting with those extra picks!

I'm banking on Fred Taylor playing in atleast 13 games this season and producing. I'd do this trade in a heartbeat, plus, your getting a little bonus with those two picks.

I would have traded Green straight up for Taylor (but not by much). I think you got a steal, good job.
