And a lot of people don't realize that Mark Ingram isn't making a ton of money. As Ghandi pointed out 1st rounders make a fraction of what they used to.

Ingram barely made more than Vet minimum this year.
Year__Base___Bonus____CapHit
2011 375,000 97,250 - 472,250
2012 712,125 97,250 - 809,375
2013 1,049,000 97,250 - 1,146,250
2014 1,387,000 97,250 - 1,484,250

In comparison, Chris Ivory made 406,667

Pierre Thomas amade 3,340,000 this season.

Mark Ingram Contract, Salaries, and Transactions

Didn't we trade this years pick to the Patriots so we could move up and get Ingram.
I thought we traded our 1st round pick of this year to get ingram, so we don't even have a first round pick this year right?

this is correct unless I've missed something somewhere.

(and we traded it to the dang Patriots, so they have like 560 picks over the next two years.)

Oops, I meant "we were picking late" referring to last year, and we'll be picking late again this year. And if we had a 1st, it would have been cheap.

I combined two thoughts into one, along with typos just to confuse the hell out of everyone.
