Trading away future first round picks is almost universally a bad idea. We're going to be real, real, real ****** if Brees gets hurt in week 3 and that pick turns out to be the #5 overall.
This is an excellent point and sadly a very real possibility......I can't see this team winning many games without Brees. I like the Brunell signing but this team would be in serious trouble if he had to play more than a couple of games. Without Brees even if the team were playing great they'd still be a <8 win team. So trading away possibly high #1 pick could be a disaster.......
