Re: Ricky Williams Type Trade

With FA and the salary cap, teams do not build through the draft like in years past. Look at our roster- only about 1/3 were actually drafted by the Saints. Teams get impatient, or players only sign 3-4 year rookie deals, and they are gone. The draft is still important, but rookies aren't going out and getting team tattoos anymore.

So, as for the OP, would I trade our entire draft for a 25 year old Calvin Johnson? Yes.
Except he is 28. Watt? Keuchly? I would say yes again. I'll take proven talent over a risk any day, especially since FA seems to be more of Loomis' forte
