Maybe.
Everyone knew Mack was great, he was already great in Oakland, I don’t think this year changes what people thought about him. Oakland just didnt want to pay him and got a decent return for him.
Cooper everyone thought was a overpay for Dallas and that Gruden did great to get the return he did. The fact that Cooper turned out to actually be good is a surprise to everyone. Even with Cooper playing well in Dallas (way ahead of his previous career averages) this is still a good trade for Oakland to get a 1st with only a year left on Coopers contract.
