I simply don't see how it could "hamstring" the Saints "for the long run". It is only one measly draft pick on a roster that is already stacked with excellent young talent. It is very likely to be an extremely low 1st rounder, if not the lowest next year. And it does not preclude the Saints from trading back up into the first round next year. In other words, it's no big deal in what could be locking up the Saints' defensive line "for the long run".
