So to tally it all up, we swap players and we get their 3rd round pick and they get our 4th?


Not bad considering I think I saw Butler graded out as the 2nd best CB on PFF last season, unless I dreamed that up, but I thought I remember seeing that recently.

Sounds fair.

Seriously??? F that. Theres so many CBs in this draft that we could take there.

Butler certainly is more proven, but hes not THAT valuable when he comes with a big contract.

What do you think is fair for one of the league's top corners? Especially considering the Saints can't draft a corner worth a damn.

I'd make myself live with our 2nd rounder I guess...

There are a lot of corners in the draft every year. There were corners in the draft when they picked PRob. There were corners in the draft when they picked Jean-Baptiste.

Let me ask you this--Would you spend #32 on Butler or PRob?

Fair enough. But I give the edge to the FA cornerbacks vs drafted cornerbacks in the Payton/Loomis era, wouldn't you?

PFF rankings are always weird, even the biggest Patriots homers won't rank him that high =)

Lol when did N.E. turn retarded? If they settle for #42 I'd masturbate for days.

Only reasoning behind thinking this is that was the original deal reported. All of it has played out just like that except for Butler and #42

Agree with this.

It's pretty amazing how many of our fans would rather us roll with a rookie + the oft-injured duo of Williams and Breaux rather than giving up the 32 and getting a proven CB. I get the concerns with a player coming out of the Patriots system, as well as the big contract, but this is a risk worth taking, IMO. We've addressed many of our issues this season (both players and coaches), and now have two main holes left to address (CB and DE). We have the resources (multiple 1sts, cap space) to fix one of these holes in a major way, so why not do it? I would be more hesitant if #32 was our only 1st, but isn't.

My guess it that it takes #32 to acquire him, and $12-$13 mil per year to sign him. Very costly, but worth it given the position that the team is currently in.
