We Traded For a CB - Trayvon Mullen

[Shane]

I’ll take it at this point got 2 weeks to get him up to speed

 

[LA Redbird]

as an optimist:

his 64 PFF coverage grade is 16 points higher than Marco Wilson's grade last year

Even better, Mullen is 133% the CB that Wilson is.

 

[WakeForestCard]

This is the last season of Mullen's contract.

Given the following scenario: Mullens has a decent year but we don't re-sign him and he gets an average contract with another team.

Are we then eligible for a comp pick?

yes, true for Cody Ford as well

I will let someone else answer this.

Trade makes sense. He wasn't getting past 20+ teams to the CARDINALS waiver claim position.

 

[BritCard]

And I have NO IDEA why you are calling me out.

Darkside got to destroy the light...

Yes. Win win. Or at least, no lose.

 

[Dayman]

Solid trade. It doesn't make up for the complete lack of planning for the CB room, but he is better than Whitaker or Josh Jackson, so that's something.

Still need another outside corner. I have no faith in Marco Wilson.

 

[Krangodnzr]

You’re not getting a quality starting CB this late. You can blame the buffoon GM on that.

Mullen has shown flashes at least though.

Yeah I thought the same thing. Mullen can give you league average play, which is still light years better than Marco Wilson.

Lol board not gonna be happy unless we got an elite corner for a bargain

That's what is called a "fan board". We are only satisfied with trading cupcakes for All pros in rookie contracts.

 

[Resin07]

Dude is 6'2" 200, and ran a 4.4, 40 in pre-draft measures. That's good speed and size for a CB. This is also a contract year for him. Hopefully he kills it for us this year.

Y’all are tilting at windmills.

Literally everyone seems satisfied with this trade so far.

The 'picture of health' compared to Robert Alford.

 

[Cardinal88]

Why is everyone so down on Wilson? He was a rookie that played well until exposed then everyone followed the trend. It’s up to him to bounce back. I see glimpses of improvement. Typically, he has good coverage but can’t seem to break up the pass. His next improvement is to reduce completion % against him.

 

[BritCard]

I like the move. Cheap. No downside.

He started with Simmons at Clemson so he has that connection to help him get up to speed. Highly familiar with the AFC West obviously who we play 4 times.

I don't think this was a "Mullen is available shall we trade for him?" scenario. I think they scouted the scheme fit and went after him.

I don't think he's a future #1 though. Good #2 at best.

We went 11-6 with rookie Wilson starting and he ain't got worse. So big shrug.gif.

Is he better than Alford? I don’t think so! If he wants to play & the Cards haven’t reach out to him they deserve to get roasted in the passing game for the next 17 weeks

 

[MadCardDisease]

Mullen's Cap number for this year: $3,364,845

 

[SoonerLou]

The good news is he got worse every season he’s been in the NFL. Krang will be happy to know his career QB rating when targeted is in the mid-80s.

Gotta have some Bird City belief

The bad news is he'll not have a lot time to adjust to the system.

The good news is he knows whats its like to get torched by the Chiefs. So he knows what not to do.

 

[NashDishesDimes]

Reading Raiders board they seem to think he flashed very well when healthy but just couldnt stay healthy.

Thinking about it, Mullen is the Raiders version of Byron Murphy.

Shown flashes, never been consistent enough, 4th year etc. Raiders not living in some fever dream where they pretend he's great though.

If anything Mullen has been better than Murphy so if you like Murphy you can't complain.
