This trade would be fine without Mitchell thrown in. I realize he'll probably just be a depth player, but the third alone would probably be enough for strong. I'd like to hear what others think, as it stands I don't see the need for Mitchell's inclusion, but it's not completely out of balance even with him. I'll vote when I hear some from other committee members.

I'm kind of with Matt here. I don't think Mitchell is needed although I understand why they want him back. What is his route running? That does not show on DL. Being in the final year of his deal means he may not stick around or may cost more than he's worth. Who knows. Like to see RTE before deciding

I agree with what's been said above. I think the 3rd rounder for Strong is enough as it is.
 
I want Mitchell back because I only have 4 WR without Strong, there are no better WR available via FA, and sprint42 would no longer need Mitchell, while having to cut a player if he doesn't trade him.

That is the/our reasoning.

Would you be willing to add a 6th round pick to get Mitchell back?
