The Carmel Rudy-Toos had a tragic first eight days of the season, losing Marlon Mack for the season in week one, and Saquon Barkley and Courtland Sutton joining him on long term IR week two. With Raheem Mostert also down for a measure, Carmel's cupboard was suddenly very bare and they made clear their intention to actively crash the trade block.
And they did! While Carmel may have been able to extract more value if they had played it slow, their rapid reaction does score them the salve they need to stop the bleeding.
- CARMEL ACQUIRES RB JERICK McKINNON & WR JARVIS LANDRY
- HILL VALLEY ACQUIRES WR AMARI COOPER
RB Jerick McKinnon was a rising star a few years ago, but a torn ACL short circuited his ascent. Now fully recovered and electric in limited play, he gets an opportunity for a huge influx of touches with Mostert and Coleman both hobbled. Striking quickly Carmel gets McKinnon before his media hype train could get out of the station- could prove to be a very shrewd move.
Jarvis Landry is a downgrade from Amari Cooper, but has a healthy floor with dependable volume underneath, with a propensity for big plays and a the occasional lightning strike on the punt return team. Hill Valley deals from the bottom of their depth chart while upgrading their receiving corps, exactly the sort of score that a winning franchise makes: Julio, Amari, AJ Brown, and Jerry Jeudy are in he early conversation for the best receiving quartet in the league.
