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... [smiley=uh.gif] He must think he knows something. [smiley=shrug.gif] 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! [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

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.
