BigD1123 Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 (edited) I read somewhere we originally wanted a third. But the market wasn't there. Also I like Mullens...a lot. BUT he was injured so the new coaches really can't get a look at him to see how he can adapt to this scheme. Nor can they are how he reacts to the coaching style they use. And lastly it'd the last year of his contract. If they keep him in hopes he can fit the scheme or gets healthy. You are also on the final yr of his deal so if he gets injured again or doesn't heal you used the spot for nothing. So I get it. Not crazy about the compensation for sure. But if it was a situation where he was going to be cut if not traded. Then great job getting anything at all in my opinion.

ragingraider Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Terrible move. Totally terrible. Trayvon was our best corner when healthy. Consistent quality corner. Trading him for a 7/6th round is just getting rid of Jon Gruden players. I hate this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C'mon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the "getting rid of Jon Gruden players" argument kind of stops when you consider they kept Robertson, Hobbs, Abram, etc. Maybe we should look at it for what it is... Mullen is not a scheme fit. Graham wants press man corners and that's not his game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows Webb could be the next. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has traits to develop and should be a ST contributor as a rookie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping there is some staff continuity over the next few years to develop the young guys on defense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am especially sick and tired of changing schemes every few years after we get guys in that are suppose to fit the scheme. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
