Trade Reviews: Little Time & Big Time

Trade Sixteen: Orgrimmar/Pawnee
Orgrimmar has mastered the art of small transactions, eschewing the splashy blockbuster for smaller trades that address his team's needs. When the team needed a RB, they moved WR Greg Jennings to Phoenix for RB Willis McGahee. Now they deal off McGahee to Pawnee in exchange for WR Rueben Randle. With upside in a high volume offense, Randle has the big game upside to help replace WR Randle Cobb, placed on IR with a broken leg. Pawnee was in a desperate RB situation, and McGahee will slot right into the starting lineup as a respectable option.

Trade Seventeen: Hill Valley/Oakwood
In a long brewing exchange, the McFlys have snagged the Driver's first round pick, RB Arian Foster in a major coup. Oakwood started the season 1-5, (although they lost twice by only fractions of a point) and felt the need to reboot the team heading into the season's week 7 halfway point. They hope to right their flagging lineup with this panic move, adding WR Hakeem Nicks, RB Fred Jackson, and LB Wesley Woodyard. Nicks has underachieved, Jackson has overachieved, and Woodyard... must have hoodwinked Oakwood with his stellar projections, as he has almost no value going forward. If Fred Jackson can maintain his pace, and Hakeem Nicks can perform consistently, this move can potentially be a net gain for Oakwood, but it's an obvious win for Hill Valley right now.
