How much is LJ (or your favorite RB) actually worth?
Is it worth it to trade an elite QB (eg Brady) and a pretty good but not excellent RB (eg Warrick Dunn) for LJ?
The real life situation that spurred this debate would've given one trader LJ and Portis, but Roethlisberger as his #1 QB and the other trader Bulger and Brady, but Dunn, Ahman Green, and Thomas Jones as his RB.
We've both agreed it isn't happening, but what if it did? Who would have gotten the better deal?
L.J. is worth a second round back (Julius Jones, Ronnie Brown, Brian Westbrook, Domanik Davis, Willis McGahee) and Brady. . . .but not a 4th or 5th round RB and Brady.

I totally disagree with both of these statements. I wouldn't trade LJ for any RB outside the top-3 and Brady and it's not even really close.
