Will We Make a Trade Today?

Consider this: Mixon is currently on pace for 280 carries (if he played 16 games). That'd be a very healthy total. Our issue is we're not getting other RB's involved enough, which has been a problem for many years. If you have 3 RB's on the roster, there's no reason not to get that 3rd guy some touches. Instead, Marv always puts that 3rd guy in moth balls.


I'm not saying we should give out picks like candy, but at some point you have to value the present. This core of players (Andy, AJ, Atkins, Dunlap) are all around 30. I'd say 1 year of contending with that group is more valuable than a typical 4th round pick. 

Where getting Vigil, Vontaz, Dennard back on defense. That should give us a spark especially considering Vigil and Vontaz haven't been on the field that much. We also get Ross,  Price, and Bernard back on offense which should make our offense better especially Price and Bernard. The only guy who I would have wanted was Fowler of the people that were traded and I would have looked into Brate from Tampa.
