We got Chris Olave. They got Jahan Dotson, Brian Robinson Jr, and Sam Howell.

I think they definitely won. This is example number one million why you don’t trade up in the draft.

Brian Robinson is a JAG, not really hard to find rbs like him in any draft

Howell I’d be surprised if he starts past this lame duck regime’s last season.

Never loved the olave move up but I don’t think pointing at that haul proves they won.

We’ll see. It looks good for them because they’re starting Robinson and Howell. But what if Howell sucks and Robinson is an average running back?

Also kudos to them if they crushed it by drafted an elite rb and legit starting qb in the third and fifth rounds. We weren’t going to draft those players.

Olave is better than Dotson. For now that’s enough to not really pass judgment on the trade for a few years at least.

Olave is the best player by far of all of the players listed to this point.

I give it 2-3 years before you can get an honest answer, though.

I think in 2-3 years, we’ll realize the saints won this trade

Washington most certainly didn't win that trade.

This is a stupid f****** thread too many of those going around here lately.

I think it’s a win-win for both teams.
The Saints won because they got their guy which is better than either piece.
But if your the commanders yours glad you did it because they needed much more pieces in quantity. So they got more of what they needed out of it also.

Howell was still there pretty late. We didn’t want a QB.
We wanted a stud WR and we got one.

If we were just trading those players and not draft picks, I’d think the team that got Olave won.

I'm lower on Olave than most people and even I see we clearly smoked them in this trade

I don't think it's correct to grade a trade like this on the players another team selected with the picks. Those are not likely how the saints would have picked and the two teams had different needs.

Would any of those players the redskins picked be better than the saints players in those positions? I am fine with the trade because the saints had a bunch of low talent bottom feeders a WR when that trade was made. WR was a very weak spot for the saints at the time.
