This sentence shows your complete lack of football knowledge. How exactly did the Saints lose out on this trade?
Seattle traded for a TE that was a better receiver than blocker, in an offense that is heavily run-oriented, and so far they are struggling to get Graham involved.
The Saints drafted a young MLB who played exceptionally well against Dallas and has improved every week. They shored up their center position with Unger, who Seattle would welcome back in a heart beat (much like the Saints would with Graham).
The Saints' fault was not replacing Graham via free agency or the draft with a tall playmaker on offense. However, looking at the trade with a quarter of the season played, the Saints are the clear winners.
Still, there is a lot of football left.

This, more than anything. How you would call the trade good or bad for either team at this point is a big overreaction.
Seattle has played 4 games, out of the 4 they featured JG heavily in 1 and by far looked the best on offense that game.
Seattle is moving away from the run heavy style they have had the last few years. Lynch is getting old, they just paid Wilson a boat load of money, they had to invest in weapons around him, especially someone that can make plays in the RZ.
I think the trade will workout well for both teams in the end.

You're missing the point. The question wasn't "who won the trade?". Yes, the Saints may have improved in other areas, but if you think the offense struggling to score 20 points has nothing to do with losing a superstar tight end/receiver, then you are wearing homer glasses.
