Some outlets had this guy rated as the number one TE in the draft!

Seems some people just want to whinge if no LSU player get Drafted, they don't trade back or trade up.

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

There are a few LSU players, in any given year, who some of us want. It's not because we're LSU fans. It's because LSU consistently puts out NFL stars. If that bothers some people, then maybe they have too much bias on THEIR end.

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.

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.
