After the draft, Pawnee and Oakwood swapped backup QBs. Then Oakwood traded Matt Ryan, their starter for Andrew Luck. And now Oakwood and Pawnee are swapping QBs again, this time their breadwinners, plus some depth moves. Russell Wilson goes to Oakwood with RB DeAngelo Williams for Andrew Luck and Darrius Heyward-Bey. I really like this move, which involves two third of the sophomore QB trifecta, but my enthusiasm is directed toward the secondary assets. I think Wilson and Luck are basically a push at this point, both capable of a step forward or a step back from their sensational rookie season: Their styles are different, but either plays well as an LFL QB, with predictions for their 2014 season basically a toss up. It's the utilization of depth that makes this trade work: DeAngelo Williams is a serviceable back with an opportunity to carry the load- In Pawnee he was the fourth option, but in Oakwood he should get an opportunity to nail down the starter's gig. Heyward-Bey brings the eggs-in-one-basket strategy to Pawnee, which has some really nice sleeper potential at WR.
