From what I gather, the 7th rounder was the minimum. It would have cost us more if we hadn't cut him when we did.

I can still remember people going nuts over this... thinking it would actually amount to anything higher than a 7th rounder.

Well, Ruud was good in his prime. Unfortunately we got the Ruud thats was closer to Shanle style.

Dayum Danno! Having a little trouble letting that go? I'll assume Morstead won't be receiving a Christmas card from you this year.

It might be hard to do. The draft is pretty loaded. The exception would be with a team that was interested in a specific player or ae overreaching.

Theres lies the problem. We can't trade back if no one wants to trade up.

With a deep draft at multiple positions I could only see a few teams willing to trade up, and there will likely be many teams willing to deal with them.

A trade down may not get us much at all. It will likely just be a pick swap in later rounds.

Now we do have a few players that we could get a mid-rounder for, but its gonna have to be a player none of us really want to part with (Lance, PT, Strief, DLP etc...)

i was surprised he had that little left in tank myself. at first i thought the gamble was worth it but after seeing him play i am surprised the saints made the trade. bad scouting in my book
