Personally there is no way in hell id do that first trade. Ben puts up pretty consistent points most weeks, sure Rodgers is an upgrade but most weeks how much? after that why trade forte and smith for an injured jennings? I think you are giving up too much in the second trade as well.

But what do I know. (not much is the answer)

no on the first, packers are clearly human this year and rodgers is not a big enough improvement over ben for me. id do the second one though, you dont need bradshaw and have a solid WR core without smith and hixon so if that can be done do it

If I were to go after a QB, who should I pick?

I wouldn't do this trade. You are giving up too much in the deal for what you are asking in return. I would leave Forte out completely and, if you are dead set on wanting Rodgers, instead offer B.Ben/T.Smith for A.Rodgers/D.Bowe.

I like Bradshaw moreso than Brown overall. Brown is nothing more than a BYE week fill-in at best for now. And it may take more than Smith and Hixon to get Megatron in this deal. I could see selling Bradshaw while his value is high but may have to redo this proposal if Megatron is whom you want for sure.

I'd probably pull the trigger on #2. Calvin is a huge upgrade of Smith, who is inconsistent, and you won't be needing Hixon much... on the RB side you already have 2 solid RB ahead of Bradshaw.
