saints traded kenny stills for a 3rd round pick wtf ?

I feel we robbed the Fins. I thought the most we would get was a 4th. Dude was our 4 option after Graham, Cooks, Colston. Getting a 3rd and a a starter on defense is a good ROI

We knew cap hell was coming. We did NOT know our talent would underperform and be as bad as they are. Remember, last year behind Seattle we were the consensus NFC pick with many saying it was our most talented roster in years. I don't think our talent is THAT bad, but clearly it's not great either.

We went all in knowing Brees has at best 2-3 years left, so we were willing to eat the cap hit if it meant contending. It's blown up in our face though because we overrated the shyt out of the talent.

The things is we got too predictable on offense. Everyone knows Payton's tendacies he likes 5 wide sets, he likes to force it to Graham, or he'll call a screen play to Pierre. Changing personnel and scheme is neccessary. We had a top 5 offense yet when you look closely our offense really sucked this season.

I'll lol when Stills becomes Robert Meachem II.

But I fail to see how it was a poor trade for the Saints. A guy we took in the 5th rd, who was never a Pro Bowler or lights out WR, we flipped into a starting linebacker (who I'm not hyping up to be good or anything) and a 3rd rd pick. That's amazing value.

I wish Kenny the best. He's a good player. He's not a world beater though. To get him for a 3rd rder is crazy. Minnesota and Chicago traded 2 better WRs and got scraps in return.

You don't get it

B marsh and guys like that have huge contracts,that's why their trade value gets knocked down a peg.

Stills may very well become Robert Meachem Jr. but being 22 and at very worst a good 3rd WR is a win. The Fins have enough weapons to compete in what looks to be a brutal conference next year. Its
On Tannehill now ,he has to step up to the plate. Philbin is Garbo though.

at how the offense looked in the last four games vs. the Bengals, Ravens, Panthers, and Falcons

 

[SoulController]

it should be beneficial to both team, Jarvis Landry is only a 2nd year guy and the team wanted someone with some exp instead of pairing him with a rookie. Ellerbe was good in the Ravens SB year, combo of injuries and ineffectiveness did him in. if the Saints can get him down to 3M it may be worth to see what he has

they get a 3rd, we get a productive guy whose got 2 more years on the cheap

That he was drafted in the fifth is completely irrelevant, I don't know people are bringing that up.


3rd rd draft pick is good value, I'm surprised they got that much for him.

*subs for next season*

We had no choice.

Looks like he fits right in in da NO

It's really not that big a deal, 3rd string receivers grow on trees and if there's one thing the Saints are good at is drafting receivers.

[Versa]

Why didn't drew brees like him

 

[NYC Rebel]

Saints flipped a player they for in the 5th for a 3rd rounder and they lost?
