re: Saints missed out

Technically one pick is used on everyone drafted. We used Davenports pick and the one we traded. So yes, we used two but traded only one. This isn't rocket science.

The net effect of this transaction is that the Saints lose two draft choices and gain one player. Is this analysis really a difficult thing to comprehend?

Did you ever take Economics in school? To put it in economic terms, the opportunity cost of the Saints drafting Davenport was the two players that the Saints could have chosen with the two draft choices if the choices had not been traded.

Also, the Saints did NOT trade one pick. The deal was that the Saints trade multiple picks and receive one in return.

I’m absolutely baffled by the number of people that just cannot understand this concept.
