Yes, I gave the store to get Flugence. Morency was going to be my starting HB after Toombs was finished. Looks like LaBrandon Toefield will end up being the man after all. He is not big, but the Riverhawks won a FIFL championship with a small HB named Jarvis Dunn.
Tennessee's LB corp is now very well stocked to help continue the Riverhawk's tradition of strong defense well into the future.

I think both teams win.
Obviously the LB fits into Tennessee's strong defensive philosophy, and will be a solid player. The first two LBers of each draft are usually gone within the first 10-12 picks, so a late 1st round pick normally won't get you such a high rated LBer.
FWS gets a late 1st round pick, an early 2nd round quality HB, and a 4th rounder. If FWS is rebuilding, this was a great trade for them cuz 3 solid pieces is better than 1 great piece.
Win-win for both teams, IMO!

Think FWS gets the better end of this deal for sure. Fort Wayne must have nude pictures of Tenneesses wife or something ?!?
LB Flugence is good but i dont know, just surprised at the big deal for him. Hes not even one of the best 3 LB's for Tenn.
Just when 1st round picks are involved you would expect an instant starter.
Good trade for Fort Wayne to get Morency.
Think Morency for Flugence would have been fair. The extra draft picks makes it a great deal for Fort Wayne
If i'm 3-0 that means things are working, dont need to trade huge picks.
