Was it though? Time will tell I guess, but I've got a bad feeling about this.

When you think about the fact that most of the day three picks might not make the roster anyway... Yeah a future 1st rounder is way more valuable.

That being said, I know nothing about Trautman and this is a head scratcher.

True, it's just really feckin difficult to wrap my brain around trading away all the rest of your picks for one spot in the late third round. Its puzzling and dare I say a bit troubling. This was not a sound decision any way you slice it and you wonder who pulled the trigger and wtf were they smoking at the time.

I can’t wrap my brain around it either. But I have to research Trautman more first because I dedicated no time at all to watching this TE class. We might have a good one here.

Exactly. Day three picks on a roster as deep as the Saints have right now would be nothing more than camp bodies and you can get those through UDFA. I love the move!!

Yea camp bodies like Colston. There was also a camp body named Brady that worked out ok. You are going to take in every bit of sunshine the Saints blow out of their ass.
I don’t get it. We needed a WR and we could have used other picks for depth. There are always surprises.

For that price he needs to have an immediate impact.
I’ll bet 100 this dude stays inactive AND Sanders only plays about 12 very lackluster games.
The pick is especially concerning given the fact we have no offseason program.
I You said the offseason program is useless but you are about to find out how important it is for players like him who have to get a lot stronger. He is weak.

For what price? Four late round picks for a player rated by the team as a top 40? Seems awful damned cheap to me. My betting limit is $20, so if you are willing to stand behind your declaration I'll take that bet in a second.

To make it clear, you bet Adam Trautman doesn't make the active roster AND Emmanuel Sanders only plays in 12, or less games, and is deemed lackluster in those.

Correct? Of course, this depends upon actually having a season, right?

He is weak? Why do you think that?
