Ballard must think we’re close and this is a final piece.

On the one hand, this sounds like an overpay.

On the other hand, dude is legit and I'm pretty impressed Ballard made a move this ballsy.

In terms of fit, Sauce Gardner is probably as good as it gets for Lou Anarumo.

Anarumo really cares about size, speed, and press man coverage ability.

Having arguably the two best fits for his system in the league on each side of the field should do wonders for his defense

Lou Anarumo might blitz every passing down now that he has Sauce, Mooney, Kenny Moore II in press coverage behind it.

I may hate this in a few years, but I'm really sold now.

Then again, I drank the Trent Richardson kool aid when that happened, and that was one of the worst trades I've seen. Still, Gardner has proven himself way more than TR did.

I love it!
We get Sauce Gardner for a couple of lower end 1st round picks, and we get AD Mitchell off the team! Excellent!
Kenny and Sauce will be fun to watch.

Love it, packers gave up 2 firsts and a player for parsons so that was the baseline

One thing about Ballard, he’s not afraid to make a big move if he believes in the player he’s getting.

This reminds me of the Buckner trade. Let’s just hope it turns out as well.

When you look at the definition of shut down corner, you see a photo of Gardner.

I've been wrong before. The evidence is on the forum. But damn.

Agreed... this is way too much in my view. CB playing with Monopoly money at this point methinks.

Hope I am wrong in any case but not thrilled by this move.
