I really like the trade. Fitz won't do much this year with the Cardinals offense being so terrible and Peterson will be heavily game script and volume/touchdown dependent because of his lack of usage in the passing game. He also carries an elevated injury risk. With Ajayi ongoing injury issues I think Clement will be a better player than Peterson for for the rest of the season. Now that Howard seems to have significantly improved as a receiver and is being used as one his performance will be pretty similar to Fournette. Plus, he doesn't have the persistent injury issues that come with Fournette. Landry should have a good year, but you get AB so who cares.
If I were you I would view this trade as getting AB/Howard for Fournette/Landry, which is a steal.
