When I first heard about this trade I suspected it was a hoax.
An elite CB that would be an improvement over Tru right when we needed him?
In a draft where we also happened to lack a 2nd?
And had 14 UFA’s, many of them top starters, needing valuable cap dollars?
Sounded just a little too good to be true, tbh.
Heck, I thought our 1st was a goner plus conditional ‘19 picks, as well, and I was okay with that, if that’s what it took. MP was a known quantity on the field whereas our #23 was a 50-50 crapshoot.
I was hoping that it would cost less, of course, but I was perfectly willing to pay the 1st.
So, imagine my elation upon learning of the 4th and future 2nd? And who knows what Snead can do with that incoming 6th?
I have the utmost confidence in this coaching staff and this locker room to bring MP along. Not to mention that MP has every reason in the world to be a Boy Scout in these next 2 seasons, if only for selfish reasons. Support from his agent, family, friends, etc will be further positive reinforcement.
Color me very satisfied, y’all.
