I would be trading my 3 and 22 spots for their 7 and 18 spots.
I am 99% certain Aaron Rodgers will be picked in the top 6. Therefore, I figure I can land a pretty solid RB1 at the 7 spot.
What do you guys think?
Thanks in advance!

I wouldn't do it. At 3 you're guaranteed to get one of the top three backs (AP, CJ, or Foster). Then with you're 22nd pick you can take a QB if thats what you're trying to do. Out of the top 6 QB's I would be happy with any one of them and I would bet one of them will be available at 22.

*in no particular order for the QB's, any one of those guys could finish #1 in my opinion
Thank you for the insight. My main reason for considering this trade is to put myself in a better position for the 2nd round. I was actually looking more at the WR position there since a lot of the mock drafts I've been reviewing have showed a lot of top WR's going in the 2nd round.

I still think there will be a solid WR for you at 22 that you'll be happy with. WR's seem to be plentiful this year but I would be much happier with AP, CJ, or Foster than any of the other RB's. (Not saying that MJD, Rice, and Charles aren't good but I do think they're a tier below the top 3)
