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.

Let's face it, TE is really a need. Last time we took a RD 3 TE it worked out well. All the picks that we had for tomorrow probably wouldn't have made the team honestly.

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.

Re: Saints Draft Days Official Thread

Why are people still crying. With the lack of a proper off season and the roster being as stacked as it is the chances of later picks making this year especially are limited.

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

I'm in the minority, but I'd take Arnold back on our roster for training camp in a second...

And I'd slap No. 12 on him and make him a WRs/TEs...

Maybe, maybe not. I would really have liked to see another WR. This draft is said to be possibly the deepest ever at the position, and beyond MT and Sanders we have nothing but question marks and disappointments.

Just trying to be optimistic. I wanted another WR as well, but what is left honestly? Maybe this guy steps in right away. His college numbers are impressive. We also tend to do an above average job at finding UDFAs at skill positions.
