MNF: Raiders vs Lions

Saintslfc13 said

I hear you but of those 6 players only 3 were really loved here in T-Rex, Ceedy, and Onyemata. I always liked Anzalone but he couldn’t stay on the field for us. Ellis came on strong last season (maybe Payton’s last season too) but before that barely played. Marcus Williams was great but a lot of people never let go of the Minnesota Miracle and I don’t think Maye is a very big downgrade if at all honestly.

I agree to some extent. I like AA and thought we bailed too soon on him. I really like Ellis too. Both young and at a position of need for both depth and future. We would be a better defense with Ceedy for sure but we couldn't afford him so I was actually happy with the trade. Would have been happier if we managed the cap better. TRex was easy to see coming. I was a huge fan of Onyemata but he was much better juiced up.

Throw in Vonn Bell and Davenport and we walked young guys good enough to field a top 15 defense outside of a couple of corners while being the oldest team in the league. As cruel as it sounds, thankfully Davenport got hurt because if he was able to stay healthy after leaving here we would have all stroked.
