I posted this in the draft thread, but it's certainly worthy of its own thread. Everyone loves the pick, but a number of us feel we really got the short end of the stick in the trade. I'm happy to dispel that myth below.
Saints give:
88, next year's third (equates to this year's fourth; if in the same spot, it's equivalent to 130 this year.)
Points: 192
Browns give:
74, 244
Points: 221
We gained 29 points in value, the equivalent of pick 153, Miami's early fifth round pick (seventh in that round).
And for those disappointed we won't have in a third round pick? Don't worry about that. We're widely expected to get a third round compensatory pick for losing Teddy Bridgewater.
