Brian Westbrook, Joseph Addai TRADE!?

Question

I was offered this trade...

Send Joseph Addai, Ind RB from RB to Eagles

Send 6th Round Draft Pick (71st Overall) to Eagles

Receive Brian Westbrook, Phi RB from Eagles to Bench

So it's Addai and my first round (11th) pick for Wesbrook.

Take into consideration that I have 2 picks in the second and third round, which I got in an easy trade :)

Answer 1

Two words dawg: do it.

Answer 2

with Rhodes back into the mix at Indy, Addai's carries will go down

Westbrook will probably have better #'s, but he is injury prone - I had Westbrook last year and was definately satisfied with his results - he won me a lot more games than if I had not had him

with 2 second and 2 third round - you could pick up a decent enough RB to make the trade worth while - plus you get a better chance at another great WR as well

i'd probably make the trade

Answer 3

i would do it - westbrook scores a ton and is a dual threat - a truly dying breed in the NFL - some backs can do one or the other (run or catch) but very few can do both.  i would say that he is better than addai, and this is coming from somebody who grew up in Louisiana and watched addai all the time at LSU.  if it is a keeper league, i would keep addai though, because hes younger.

Answer 4

I wouldn't... Westbrook is very injury prone.
