Barrett Ruud Trade - Saints lose 7th rounder
 

Larry Holder @LarryHolder
For those wondering, Seattle has the #Saints' seventh-round pick via the NFL draft list. It comes from the Barrett Ruud trade.

Re: Barrett Ruud Trade - Saints lose 7th rounder
 

Damn that's right... I forgot about that. Kind of a bummer but we should be able to do ok with 5 picks.

Re: Barrett Ruud Trade - Saints lose 7th rounder
 

I sure as hell hope so too.

Re: Barrett Ruud Trade - Saints lose 7th rounder
 

For some reason I think they'll be a lot of UDFA gems on the defensive side of the ball.

Re: Barrett Ruud Trade - Saints lose 7th rounder
 

Barret ruud did he help ?

Re: Barrett Ruud Trade - Saints lose 7th rounder
 

No, he was simply insurance when we were down to only 3 healthy LB's.

Re: Barrett Ruud Trade - Saints lose 7th rounder
 

High price for insurance dont you think

Re: Barrett Ruud Trade - Saints lose 7th rounder
 

Yeah, the Texans. Not one of Mickeys better moves...........

Re: Barrett Ruud Trade - Saints lose 7th rounder
 

I though it was conditional and that those conditions weren't met when all sites listed the Saints having their 7th rounder, but I guess I was wrong.

Re: Barrett Ruud Trade - Saints lose 7th rounder
 

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

Re: Barrett Ruud Trade - Saints lose 7th rounder
 

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

Re: Barrett Ruud Trade - Saints lose 7th rounder
 

Same here ....:confused:

Re: Barrett Ruud Trade - Saints lose 7th rounder
 

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.

Re: Barrett Ruud Trade - Saints lose 7th rounder
 

Five picks............move back?

Re: Barrett Ruud Trade - Saints lose 7th rounder
 

Or burn two of them on a punter?

Sorry, I should know better by now.:p

Re: Barrett Ruud Trade - Saints lose 7th rounder
 

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

Re: Barrett Ruud Trade - Saints lose 7th rounder
 

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

Re: Barrett Ruud Trade - Saints lose 7th rounder
 

No, we kept the Shanle who was of the Ruud style.

Jus' sayin...

Re: Barrett Ruud Trade - Saints lose 7th rounder
 

come on you have to give shanle his props here

every year the saints tried to replace him in the line up and every year he beat all challengers.

so i give him a hats off

Re: Barrett Ruud Trade - Saints lose 7th rounder
 

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.

Re: Barrett Ruud Trade - Saints lose 7th rounder
 

One lesser value present to open up but not a big deal. The scouts have to do some extra work digging through the bargain bin but I feel they will still find that decent flashlight with a motorbike hand grip.

Re: Barrett Ruud Trade - Saints lose 7th rounder
 

Not true, he was replaced as a starter this season when Hawthorne finally got healthy enough to be in the starting line-up.

Re: Barrett Ruud Trade - Saints lose 7th rounder
 

This

By week 6 Shanle was permanently inactive every sunday, 10 straight weeks of being a healthy inactive shows that the writings on the wall for his time as a saint

Re: Barrett Ruud Trade - Saints lose 7th rounder
 

And the defense didn't improve, so it wasn't all on Shanle like most people here believed.

Re: Barrett Ruud Trade - Saints lose 7th rounder
 

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...)

Re: Barrett Ruud Trade - Saints lose 7th rounder
 

crap totally forgot about this one

A really poor trade that turned out to be.You would have expected some sort of protection on the pick.

Re: Barrett Ruud Trade - Saints lose 7th rounder
 

lost

Re: Barrett Ruud Trade - Saints lose 7th rounder
 

Barrett Ruud was a decent linebacker at one time. He just hasn't been the same after Chris Ivory introduced himself:

Stupid Ruud
