Who am I missing and/or who turned out to be crap? I`m sure there are plenty Day 3 trade-ups that I can't remember.


Jonathan Sullivan comes to mind. What a terrible pick and we traded up to get him.

I guess I was specifically thinking of the Payton era and the administration's history of trade-up success and failures.

We know there were plenty of drafting mistakes in the other eras.

SP has also had some bad drafts, but if my memory serves me right, the players he's felt enough conviction to trade up for have almost all turned into productive Saints.

What I can't remember is if there was a player like say RB Antonio Pittman who may have been traded up for but eventually didn't even make the team.
