Graham and our first round pick for a top eight pick, plus a second and third round pick...

We could select a cornerstone Left Tackle and get two quality players in the second and third rounds to upgrade holes in the WR depth and in the back half of the defense...

The pink Saints jerseys might take a hit, but Saints fans that really know football know we've got to take back the line of scrimmage if we're gonna have another Lombardi Gras...

Keeping Graham we may put up some amazing stats, but we'll have a second round ceiling that we won't be able to overcome...

Graham is our priority in free agency, but that doesn't mean he's on the roster long term...

I'm having fits with this "sign and trade".....

Why do you want to intentionally inflict a minimum 7-12 million dollars worth of dead money on your self?

It's like...... Buying a brand new Porche Panamerra Turbo Executive S, then driving it to a Honda lot and trading it in on 3 Hondas. Jesus, you just lost a whole Honda's worth of depreciation.

It's gambling with a CC cash advance to pay the rent.
