My Weekly Mock

Hate to shoot down another post, but this is also incredibly unrealistic. A 2nd round pick? Really?

Recent trades for perspective:
DeMeco Ryans for 3rd + 4th round picks. Top-flight, in his prime ILB, 27 yrs old.
Aqib Talib, for a 4th round pick. Troubled shutdown-caliber CB, 26 yrs old.
Vontae Davis, for a 2nd round pick. High-end starting CB, huge potential, only 24 yrs old.

Our 28 year old RB, who has never eclipsed 800 yards rushing or 150 attempts, is not even in the same league as any of these guys as far as value, not even close.

Pierre remains most valuable to the Saints playing his role in the RB rotation, not as trade fodder.

Trades are all about leverage.

Texans had no leverage in the Ryan's trade. He didn't fit the scheme and was at the end of his contract.

Talib was expected to be released anyways. The patriots swooped in and got a steal.

The Saints dont need to trade Pierre Thomas, that makes him more valuable. he doesn't have as much wear And tear. Plus his contract is super cap friendly. Added to the fact that a 2nd rounder was already offered for him.

I don't think we'll get a 2nd, but a team desperate for a running back, like the packers or Lions would definitely Give up a 3rd for him.
