Mueller helped address the teams need at WLB. Shipping Cole out opens the door for 3rd year pro Mitch Saunders to start at center this season.

Today the Generals sent there 1.16 and 3.14 selections to Murfreesboro for the Mules 1.24 and 2.16 picks as the Generals looked to add higher selections to address team needs. As luck would have it, the player that the Generals targeted, but thought was a riskier pick at 1.16, was still available when they selected at 1.24. The addition of Casey Lofton will give the team its first true TE threat since Daniel Rich was shipped to Salt Lake in 2008.
