It's difficult to argue with this logic. I love the player, MT, but I just can't see giving up anything more than what we got for WM. Yes, I think MT would be a better player than WM was here, but the circumstances are what they are. MT is a backup for a team that will lose him in a year, and barring a serious injury to LT, will have little impact on his team. That is the market. I want the player, I just don't want to overpay with picks. I feel we can acquire the best back available and maintain our #12 selection and get an impact player there. (Willis)
I won't jump from a ledge should ML swap 1sts to obtain the services of MT, I just don't think it's necassary, IMO.
