got a source on that?

IMO Muma was 1000% pure value pick. He was slotted to go in the second at the latest, and I don't think anyone in the room expected him to be available when our pick came up.

I'd say that's in the "likely" category, the original contract was structured to replace him this year. That's he's been so great in the middle is a testament to the restructure and extension. This talk also really ignores that Caldwell's scheme called for 4 linebackers an having Foye/Lloyd/Muma was taking care of the middle with a guy like Shaq or Miller there as Teams and deep depth. Had Miller not been on IR then Shaq isn't here last year. There's nothing inherently bad except that Miller was overdrafted for a backup/teams player.
