Reading between the lines of Alvin Kamara’s commitment to the Saints

They did pretty well with the picks they received (#27 and #91 in 2017, #22 the following year).

#27 Tre'Davious White
#91 traded away as part of a package for #37 Zay Jones
#149 received from above trade, traded as part of a package for #63 Dion Dawkins
#22 (2018) traded away as part of a package for #16 (2018) Tremaine Edmunds

Mahomes is worth more than all of those guys, but they got Josh Allen the next year, so I don't think they are complaining. Went from a franchise that went 20 years without a 10-win season to one that has had 10+ wins in the last five years. Definitely an example of cashing in after trading back.
They got good value out of that trade sure, but how many times have they kicked themselves when Mahomes knocked them out of the playoffs or pivotal game? Oof. If they don't make that trade, Mahomes goes to NoLA and the NfL looks a lot different today.
