Giants trading Eli Apple to saints

I’m happy we made the move and trust staff that he’s the right fit. Besides I’m sure Payton and Co did their research during his draft process anyway.

PFF has him rated as the 55th best CB, Crawley is at 105th for comparison.

I don't really care for this trade.

If he's average at CB we are good. This could end up being huge. We didn't lose The Crawley so we didn't get any worse...it either improves or remains the same

Maybe that 75 yard drive by Flacco in less than 60 seconds & subsequent TD was the last straw for Sean ?

That's true, but I feel like we could have gotten someone better for the same price. I think we made a bad talent evaluation here. I hope I'm wrong.

Hey I wish I could argue one way or the other. I don't know enough. From whhat I am reading is he has been a good teammate this year and has been dedicated. So let's hope him and ML ball out

This could be the best tandem we have had at CB in the history of SP. If he does workout this could boost us to the SB

I'm glad to see they recognized a weakness and went out to find a solution! I'm hoping for the best here, as I was not high on him after watching a few highlights from the Falcons game last night. Let's hope Aaron Glenn can show him a few tricks and DA scheme is a good fit. Got to be better than our current weak link.
