- Godchaux, we gave up a 7th
-Saunders for Fortner
- Vele, we gave up a 4th and 7th
- Asim Richards,we gave a 6 and got a 7th
- Ja’lynn Polk we gave up a 6 and got a 7th
- Shaheed, we got a 4th and 5th
- Penning, we got a 7th

- Godchaux has been pretty mediocre
- Fortner has been a godsend with McCoy being out, he’s earned himself a lot of $
- Richards has played well in a reserve role, good depth for cheap
- Vele looks legit and could be a key weapon for the future for cheap
- Polk, we’ll see next year
- good value for Shaheed and good assets to continue rebuild
- just glad to get rid of Penning

The Richards and Polk trades were pick swaps - player and a 6th for a 7th, not a 6th and a 7th. So basically nothing.

Will be praying someone really wants our 8-10 pick for their late teens pic lol
Lots of good DTs, CBs, DE and Olineman.

I really like some of the DTs that should be available in the late first/early 2nd

Was hoping Gods had two more years but I don't see it next year. We need a run dominate DT badly.

You could have had Pickens for a 3rd and his numbers are better than both combined. And you solve our #1 receiver problem.

We trade a 4th for Vele and I’m still seeing threads that people want to draft a receiver in the first….

Muh tank! He’s a UFA genius. Wanna give up a third and have to pay him, or give up a third and he signs elsewhere?

Shaheed has 13 catches for 178 since he left.

We needed a big body wr

Not to mention, Pickens is a complete head case

Would have been an awful trade

Another clueless team building post from town. You dont pay top 5 wr money to a wr. Especially on a rebuilding team.

Because hitting on a wr on a rookie contract is how you stay competitive without hamstringing your cap.

This is 101 stuff bud.

Vele had three years of control left for cheap. Shaheed is an UFA next year and is going to make 25m+ per year.

Pickens is a free agent after this season and will want WR1 money. He’s a head-case and giving him that much money is bound to blow up in our face. Would much rather have Vele on a rookie contract for two more years and draft a WR1 this year or next.

How many WR’s are on the field on any given play?

That would be ideal but Mickey would eat razor blades sooner than he’d trade down.

Can anyone confirm if this is accurate for 2026?

It looks like Saints have 1,2,3,5,6 of their own picks and a 7th from the patriots?

As of now is that accurate?

CKM will have a major say in the draft and in FAs. Even the Loomis needs Moore to succeed.
