Keep Fitz, he is consistent, and is going in a lot of first round mocks. If you wait on a wr you will hurt your balance, especially at your draft position.
I'd keep Williams and it's not close. Williams is another 1st round caliber pick and you're getting to basically keep him for free because a 9th round pick is hardly even anything to give up for him. Fitzgerald might be a great WR and he's definitely got the potential to finish near the top of the WR ranks again but I think you can find a guy who can put up numbers close to what he will in that 2nd round if you want and still have your top 2 RB spots sewn up. Remember...Fitz is one injury away (Warner) from significantly taking a hit to his production as having a great passer like Warner out there is really boosting his numbers above where they would be otherwise.
I think if you can land a guy like Roddy White, Greg Jennings, Steve Smith, or even Anquan Boldin or Reggie Wayne as a WR1 it easily makes up for you not keeping Fitz and having Williams instead. By starting out your draft with 2 very solid RBs, you really open yourself up to be able to concentrate on other positions while other teams are trying to piece together their backfield with whatever is left over.

That's pretty much been my logic from the beginning.
I would keep Williams. A first round guy for a 9th round pick is a no brainer. You will have 2 stud Rb's to start with and you will still get a stud #1 WR with the 13th pick.
No brainer....keep Fitz. He is good for at leas 1,200 and 13+ TDs. That is basically waht Williams will do.....IF Stewart doesn't start to make this a committee. Fitzy is the real deal. Most would kill to have Fitz and MJD on their team! This would be a nice dream.....
.....After I write that I have to remember value picks. A starting, top 5 RB for an 8th round pick. Dagon, you have to keep Williams and draft WR at 13th. Too much extra value there.
another vote for Williams here,getting him for a 9th is too good to pass up,even for Fitz's superhuman abilities(also Stewart is allegedly dealing with an Achillies problem)
