re: Did the Saints overpay in draft picks for Olave?

I think he was referring to what we had vs what we ended with. 16 doesn't factor in because we never used it. before the trades we had pick 18

you cant do that unless you tie in last years trades as well because they changed what picks we had going into this year as well before the eagles trade even happened

you have to start with what we went into the draft with or its selective cherry picking

we started this draft with picks 16 & 19 and 5 other picks, from there and only from there can you say what we paid to get olave at 11 and to do that we gave up

2022 1st (pick 16)
2023 1st
2024 2nd

Plus this years picks 98, 101, 120, 237

just to move up 5 spots to pick 11
