care to expand on this? Just curious cuz Brady is not having a good year at all and I have Garrard sitting on the bench. McGahee leads the league in TD's and Caddy is an injury waiting to happen.

I think you summed it up pretty well. There is a lot of uncertainty here. Bier gives away some depth at RB in order to shore up his QB situation, and you get a RB who appears to be a FF force. So far, Brady has not looked nearly as good as 2 years ago, but even if he gets it together, all of his receivers are injured. That will be a continuing concern. I didn;t really think that Caddy was going to be able to last the year, but I must admit, I didn;t think McGahee would be much of a factor either.
I expect Brady to perform better as the season progresses, and I don't expect McGahee to be able to continue at this pace. Will the values of Caddy and Orton offset this difference? It will be interesting to watch an see.
and from my seat:
even with brady performing at his current level, still better than what i had on my roster.. with a lot of upside. i am actually pretty happy with my rb's, so caddy was more of a filler this week if need be.
i was very happy with mcgahee. while i still think they like him in the rz, i just don't think it's a pace for td's he'll maintain (though he'll still get in imo). and orton is not a tremendous downgrade to get t-bone more rb production.
imo..trade helps both out.
