We didn't trade away next year's number one. We just used it this year.

2011 #1 - Cameron Jordan
2012 #1 - Mark Ingram

All we gave away is this year's #2.

I understand that you can look at it that way and to some extent I do, but we still mortgaged the future for the present to some extent. I mean, if it turns out that we have a major hole at OT or some other position next year and we don't have a 1st round pick to fill it, we really aren't going to be thinking about it that way. I think it was the right move, assuming that Ingram produces and we have a successful season, but if Ingram does not produce the way I think and the team thinks he will and/or that #1 ends up being a top 10 or top 15 pick, we are not going to be happy. But, that's why they pay Loomis and Payton the big bucks to make those decision. And, success does favor the bold.
