Can we stop with the Saints got 2 2nd round picks nonsense? (1 Viewer)

[SaintRay]

A 1st round pick is highly coveted in the NFL.

Only 1st rounders are selected on Day 1 of the draft, plus offer teams the 5th year contract option.

And the difference between #29 and the first pick of the 2nd round is 60 points. That significant.

Also the Saints traded a 3rd for the Broncos 2nd in 2024. Based on the Broncos and the Saints 2023 finish, the Saints gained 210 points on the trade chart. Again, that is quite significant.

Agree!

I think when emotions settle down….this will be an obvious Saints win for a lot of fans.

They probably need to update that chart to account for the fifth year option. No way 32 is only worth 10 more than 33. I bet the Bengals wish they drafted Higgins at 32 with Burrow’s contract coming soon.

Yeepy a 5th-year option on a non-qb!

Loomis needs to be fired along with DA !!!! That won’t change.

Yeah, I'm still feeling that Loomis shirt the bed (caved) on this trade.

Again.

That second round pick might prove very valuable. I know everyone expects Denver to have a better season but not only is that a tough division but the AFC in general is tougher. I don’t know their schedule but it’s going to be tough. They might be better but still have a bad record.

Can we also stop with the Saints got a 1st and a 2nd because that isn’t true either.

Fine we didn't get 2 2s....we traded CSP for a chance to draft the 3rd best tackle in the '23 Draft

Some people’s 18 might as well be a low 2nd round pic, not everyone is happy, sorta like the world today. A 5yr option on a QB, WR, DB or Oline/Dline saves the team with the cheap contract for the extended year and gives a clearer picture if they should be retained.

But, yes, we did get a 1st and a 2nd and traded back a 3rd and I’m good with that. If you have unreasonable expectations, you’re always going to be disappointed.

It like cartman on a leash with ceased Milan, sometimes you have to let people give the good fight until they wear themselves out.

Let's just accurately state what happened: We received a very late 2023 first-round pick and a 2024 second-round pick, and gave up a 2024 third-round pick.

Fifth year options aren't valuable. You have to draft talent to value that 5th year options.

Draft value chart is to measure talent quality available at that pick. Which is exactly the correct way to value picks.

Again.

Right now I'm so mad I could bite Mickey's ear off but will forgive him if he hits big on the 2 second-round picks.
