Agreed.
In 2004, the New York Giants gave up a first- (Philip Rivers) and third-round pick (kicker Nate Kaeding) and a first-round pick in 2005 (outside linebacker Shawne Merriman) to the Chargers to end up with the player who was selected just three picks ahead of where they picked in Round 1, quarterback Eli Manning.
That’s a big bundle, and that’s what the Saints should be shooting for, or something in that same price range.

If the Jets, the Titans or anyone else wants to come up and get Leinart, Williams or whomever, we should be able to make them pay through the nose, regardless of the literal chart values.
