re: Very good trade for Saints

And Drew Brees was a 2nd rounder and Tom Brady was picked in the 6th round.

NFL Conventional Wisdom is often just hyped-up groupthink.

How often is a team 5 years removed from one of the greatest drafts in league history, netting 3 long-term keepers and 3 others that just couldn’t stay because there’re only so many players you can pay? How many times is this “trade value” chart counting the team that lOsT THe TraDe! Getting an extra 1&2 or 2 1s in the next couple years because of the ever so rare coach trade?

Dominant defense, special OL and Skillplayers (Kamara and CGM) and maybe JUST MAYBE they have a better grasp of what Jameis is capable of… perhaps they see a “top level contender” team that given the right piece or two at the right spot or two can make as legit a run as anyone… ???????.

I’m not a fan of WHEN this trade took place—feel like trading picks when you don’t know who’s available doesn’t make much sense—but take that “conventional wisdom” crap and flush it.
