Welcome to the Cafe ;-D

I would pass on the trade, I rather have a top 5 QB in a keeper than a running back in McFadden that has upside but can't stay on the field.

I would reject too. Stafford is still young and the QB position can play at much longer ages than a RB who only plays until 30. Plus McFadden hasnt yet play a full season

I agree. While McFadden is a top 5 back when healthy he hasn't shown that he can play a full season. I think you will be much happier having a top player at two positions. Then you can target yor #2 back or #1 WR and not worry about your QB with your first pick. If you can get a guy like Calvin or Fitz you will have a very solid core to your team.

yeah I was thinking that. I am going to have the 13th pick this year in a 14 man league. I lost the super bowl last year so I have a terrible pick. guys like calv and fitz are already being kept. I was thinking maybe like a Doug Martin at number 13 ( 28 plyrs already off the board before draft starts)
