To be frank, he just will not be there.

Honestly, No. Period. End of discussion.

To me he was the best WR in college last year.

Top five offense.
Bottom 5 defense.

The math is simple. Draft, or trade picks, for productive defensive players. The only exception to this is drafting studs for the offensive line.

Colston, Cooks, Stills, Toon. Is there any reason we need another WR?

The Saints do not need offensive skill players. So the answer is no.

I don't like it! I don't like it! Sending him to the freakin pedhawks, hopefully Graham is more injured than thought or we just made a stupid trade just for a center (while we have Lelito ) plus giving up a 4th rd. we only get a 1st rd pick (32) might as well be a second for Graham, dayum, I just don't see the light at the end of the tunnel

That's what I call putting the team first! Now go get Foster!

Seahawks acquire TE Jimmy Graham, 4th-round pick from Saints for C Max Unger, 1st-round pick

Remember a year ago when the Saints gave Jimmy Graham all that money? It's amazing how quickly things can change in the NFL. Graham is now gone to the Pacific Northwest, and the Saints acquired Max Unger and a first-round choice in return.

I don't think there's a concise winner in this deal, as it makes sense for both teams. For Seattle, throwing the ball to Graham in the end zone makes a lot more sense than targeting Ricardo Lockette, or any of the other mediocre targets Seattle had. Graham's presence on the field will also open things up for Marshawn Lynch, who won't face stacked boxes anymore. More importantly, Wilson finally has a stud weapon to work with, so he'll be even better in his fourth season.

Wilson, however, loses a center, but that's not a huge deal because of how mobile he is. It would mean far more for a pocket-passing quarterback, but the offensive line isn't as prevalent for Wilson. It is for Drew Brees, who was beaten up last year because center Jonathan Goodwin was incompetent. Unger is a huge upgrade, and the Saints are getting a first-round pick on top of it.

Brees does lose Graham though, which is huge. Perhaps the Saints will use their second opening-round draft selection on a replacement in Maxx Williams, who fits the range at the end of the first round, though I currently have Williams going in the second frame. For more, check out my 2015 NFL Mock Draft, which was updated today.

Grade for Seahawks - B+
Grade for Saints - B+

Oh, and Lelito to guard? Maybe part ways with Grubbs or Evans?
