Having potentially 2 impact players on rookie deals ? ... I'm ok with that.

I hope that these two young men tear it up in the league.

More than that, really. Like Mr. Smashmouth posted:

If you toss out the Saints trading Pick 18 and a 7th rounder for Pick 19 and a 6th, they essentially used five picks to draft Chris Olave: 2023 1st, 2024 2nd, two compensatory 3rds from 2022 and 2022 4th I love the fit and believe in WR inflation — but definitely a steep price.

Huge gamble but I feel pretty good about it.
