It looks like we traded Lattimore at the right time (Lattimore Out back to back weeks in Washington)

they were never going to get a first for him even though that's what I wanted for him. Sneed, Carlton Davis, and Ramsey both were traded for third round picks over the last few years. Sneed was the Chiefs franchise player and they got a third. Tampa threw in 2 6th round picks for a 3rd. That's why Mickey always said the right offer. Most Saints writer was like if they could only get a 3rd then keep him.

Correct. Saints were exploring a trade all summer and I can guaran-flippin'-tee that they would have traded him for a first or probably even a second. Sometime a team sees what they need as the season goes along and are more willing to give up a little more to push to the playoffs. If the Commanders were 2-6 they wouldn't have traded for Lattimore. We has some leverage because more than one team wanted him for their playoff run.
