I wanted Swift so badly I actually traded Joe Mixon and Logan Thomas for Swift and Gerald Everette. On paper, I got bent over on the deal, but I think there’s a good chance it works out for me.
Because of the way the draft fell, I was kind of forced to take Mixon and Thomas. I like Thomas, but I already have McLaurin. Don’t want two pieces of that passing offense. Limits my upside. Mixon was also by far the best value on the board when I picked 3rd round. My hands were tied, even though I didn’t want him. Thomas was also the last “good” TE on the board as well.
