re: Didn’t we trade a high pick for Vele to help our bad redzone offense

So after all that typing… I guess your position is :
The Saints can throw away a 4th round because the pick itself is ….
NOT very important.

My position… this front office can’t draft for shite… so we need every single draft pick to increase our chances to find players !!

We can’t draft and that’s why they
SUCK Right Now.

ALL Draft picks are important !!

Vele was in on the last series and Rattler tied to hit him in the endzone on one of the last plays. 6 ft Cardinals LBer showed off his vert and deflected the pass.

Yep. And he would've caught it.

I wonder if Brian branch can play receiver.

Idk maybe. Are you going to tell the board again how much better Miller is than Achane?

But it was unique dumbassery!

Maybe you should try reading what I said instead of "guessing"

Not even remotely what I was getting at. My point, which was pretty clear, is that your post is an overreaction. You are trying to say that a 4th round pick is "very valuable" and that is simply not the case.

And on top of that, saying the team "threw away" a 4th round pick when the player has been on the team < 2 weeks and has been active for one game is unbelievably stupid

The 4th round is, definitively, where draft value starts to drop like a rock. I'm not defending trading away the pick, just making it clear...we did not trade away some super valuable asset.

This is mostly for the other guy that said I was a retard for thinking a top 100 pick isn’t shite or ‘quality’ or a ‘valuable asset’ as you like to say.

But if our team really sucks, we will be picking around that 100 spot in the 4th.

But just to give a couple examples from our team that recently played for us the past few years that were picked right around 100.

Borderline HoF jahri Evan #108
All pro Trey Hendrickson #103
Would be HoF if he had stayed with the saints Jimmy Graham # 95
Chauncey Gardner Johnson #105
Probowler Akiem Hicks #89

This is just draft picks off our team that were true difference makers.

A 4th plus the 7th that the Broncos paid for him last year.

Phag

So, all the discussion is about the value of the pick. Regardless, we traded 2 picks for a 6'5" WR to help us in the red zone and Moore had him glued to the bench in the red zone. (Sounds familiar to DA with Graham last year). Instead, we had 3 small WRs who are not physical running around trying to get open in tight windows. There is no excuse to not using Vele in the red zone. Cooks and Shaheed offer little in that situation. At least Vele has the physical advantage to out jump or box out for a pass.

Just approach any team and ask them to just give you their 4th rd pick and see what happens.

I was going to say this but Midget Death Squad said it best before I could.

What a stupid scenario. Approach any team and ask them to “just give you their 7th round pick” and the exact same thing will happen. Nobody gives picks to anyone else. They will trade you though.


Dumbass
