Saints trade with Vikings, draft Dayton TE Adam Trautman with No. 105 pick

Fine with trading late picks for what looks like a young Jason Whitten.

It’s not like our roster has enough holes that late rounders would make the team...

That's the same point I've been trying to make. Draft picks are more important to weak rosters. Little chance, if any, that a third day pick would have a chance of making the roster. Just as good a chance to pickup UDFA's, instead.

Good point! My initial reaction was that we gave up a lot to get this guy, but he does seem to be a legit starter.
