Maybe you didn't think Seattle was going to trade WITHIN their division. That doesn't happen all that often. Seattle just helped make a division rival better

Why not trade up to get Foster?
Because we need more than a MLB. We need our next 3 picks.

Because he wasnt even on our board thats why. Pittsbrgh needed an ILB and OLB and passed on Foster. That speaks volumes. Ryan was rated in the top half of our board. Unless Taco and Watt had higher grades, Foster was NEVER going to be a Saint.
But carry on

49ers had him 3rd on their board, said if the Bears took Thomas they were taking Foster at 3
Lynch just fleeced his inaugural first round.
quote:
Lynch: If Bears had taken Solomon Thomas, likely the 49ers would have taken Reuben Foster at 3.
quote:
The 49ers used the two picks in the first round to select Stanford defensive end Solomon Thomas and Alabama linebacker Reuben Foster. Who was atop their 200-player draft board? Texas A&M edge defender Myles Garrett sat at the top spot followed by Thomas and Foster
quote:
Regarding Foster, who's stock fell following a number of issues since his college career ended, Shanahan said that the team did their homework on the linebacker. "The thing about Reuben is we know he's made some mistakes but – you guys will see when he gets down here – he's a very good person," he said. "We really believe in him. We flew him down here (and) spent a lot of time with him. Probably talked to him on the phone or Facetime I'd say about eight of the last 12 days. So we developed a relationship with him pretty good and he's a very honest person. He's explained to us everything. we're very happy to have him."
quote:
After selecting Thomas with the third pick, Shanahan said that everyone in the draft war room sat there and waited to see when Foster, the next player on their board, would be selected. "From five on, I'm betting when Reuben's going to go," Shanahan said. "I probably lost about 20 bets in a row."
So they did their due diligence, and in the middle of the first round started getting that tingly feeling, and by the back end of the first round were living out the Ron Paul it's happening gif.
But he wasn't on the saints board.

Because this is one of the few drafts that you can find pro bowl potential defense in the 2nd and 3rd round. Saints believe they can find quality starters with their first 4 picks and want to keep them all
