TRADE 2: Painting the Corners

Our young season saw a flurry of activity this week, and a second direct exchange of players.

Margaritaville acquires:
RB Darren McFadden

WR Allen Hurns

Pawnee acquires:
CB Patrick Peterson

CB Richard Sherman

This is an exciting move for both teams; The Parrot-Heads gained yet another young wideout with potential- Week 1's waiver gem, Allen Hurns. Their receiving corps has plenty of talent, but will suffer some growing pains- everybody, including Hurns, had a down sophomore draw. Rolling the dice with the right cadre of talent (split, slot, and flanker) each week will be their X-factor, the key to their season without any matchup proof options. Darren McFadden has been moved twice now- a name brand with an indistinct role and questions of effort and durability. He's certainly worth a roster spot, and for a team in need of RB depth, might be a godsend, with bye weeks right around the corner. On the other side of the ball, the Pacers have locked down two of the league's marquee corners. How their unquestionable talents translate to the scheme remains to be seen- shutdown defensive backs sometimes struggle to fill a stat sheet.
