I wouldn't do it. Priest and Ahman are both studs, so neither side gains there. Charlie Garner is MUCH older than Rudi Johnson and I think Johnson probably had better numbers as a part-timer (don't have the stats in front of me) than Garner did last year. Plus there's no guarantee that the Bucs won't grab a RB in the draft (Steven Jackson or Kevin Jones could both be available). I'd rather have Ahman and Rudi than Priest and Charlie.

Amani Toomer and Jimmy Smith are a wash, in my opinion, at this point. Smith will score more TDs, Toomer is younger and will have more yards, but there is some QB uncertainty in NY.

Then it's Marc Bulger vs. a rookie draft pick. Bulger is still the starter and he'll still be throwing to Torry Holt, so I wouldn't dump him for an unknown at 1.9.

Don't do it! In short, which is unusual for the Steg, ;) it doesn't fit your team at all.
