But nobody is talking about LSU players here. Look at how much they gave up for one player. It's crazy. I don't know where this "stacked roster" argument is coming from. Like every player on the team is a star? You build the future by stocking up on young talent. Rosters turnover, every year. That's what free agency and the salary cap does.

Look at the draft for the last 3 seasons, these people have a damn good idea what they are doing. And there's still plenty of vets out there to fill any holes

Disagree. People keep parroting that same "deep roster" line. How many times in recent years have we thought we had a deep roster, only to find out we were dead wrong? Whether through injuries or guys simply not playing up to the standard, we consistently fall short. Depth and competition is a must.

Let's also take into account what a terribly poor business decision this is. I understand things are a bit different right now, that doesn't justify throwing common sense to the wind and trading away the rest of your draft for one guy in the late third round. There's no defending that, I'm sorry.

stacked to lose at home in WC round

To stand here and pretend this was wise is intellectually dishonest.

Not to mention rookie udfa walk ons

many who might have been their 4 5 6

Saints usually have someone rise to the occasion in the walk on department

Very true. We just won’t know if it was worth it until he hits the field. The unfortunate thing is how harshly he’ll forever be judged by fans because of the trade up.
