7 Reasons the Jimmy Graham Conversation is Stupid, as Told Through Cats Using Statistics

B_Dub_Saint · 03-16-2014, 12:57 AM

Here's an idea, we get all 32 1st round draft picks for him. I mean damn, this convo is gettin salty. Im over it either way. I speak for a lot of us when I say the cheese is old and moldy. Whats gonna happen is gonna happen and that's it.

Jimmy Graham is not the entire New Orleans Saints football team. He is a vital piece but not an overall decider of how our season dictates.

I want to keep the guy trust me, but all the bs is pilling up and its time to flush the damn toilet.

Now I'm done.

IMO, he isn't all that vital.

It is good to have a player of his ability on the team, but the money it is going to take to re-sign him would be better spent on the defense and special teams.

Andrew Luck, Aaron Rodgers, Calvin Johnson, and Adrian Peterson are all worth 2 first round picks. Jimmy Graham isn't, but some teams get desperate and force moves.

2 first round picks? No way. None of those are worth it.

There is no player worth 2 first round picks, especially now with the new CBA and the rookie pay scale...

So you would have Patrick Robinson and Malcom Jenkins over Megatron?

What happens to teams that heavily invest in WRs? See Atlanta.

I love graham he even rt my kids pic on twitter, to be honest i thought him bashing us for getting rid of players i know was his friends but how does he not know it was for him... Then it wasent for him it was for byrd.. Which i love, but im 50/50 on this graham thing.. I just wish it would end

Two firsts fir Rodgers ir Luck would be a steal for a team just missing a QB. You think the Bengals wouldn't becone contenders with Rodgers instead of Dalton or even the Browns. Jordan Cameron, Josh Gordon draft the best WR with there second pick ib the first, the best guard with the 2nd rounder and a new OLB and RB with the next few. They would walk the AFC North and be a contender for the AFC

Two first round draft picks for a player is a conundrum. If he is that valuable you aren't letting him get shopped.

It is an option that only a Brees, Brady, Manning in their prime would garner.

95% of Saints fans wouldn't give Jimmy Graham 12m/ year, but they somehow rationalize another team giving up 12m/year plus 2 first round draft picks! No offense intended but that is funny...... Plucking hilarious.

Megatron... Peterson.... Luck..... Graham..... None of them are worth two FRDPs. Those are so coveted you only give them up for a player that can win you a SB. A phenom QB.
