Does anyone feel any remorse over the trade down, last year, from #28? With the pick, the Saints drafted Mark Ingram. The trade netted us Vereen (2011) who will be competing for the starting job this year, and the #27 pick. 27 plus our third rounder (Cinci used it on DT Brandon Thompson) turned into Chandler Jones.
So, the full value of the series of trades is in, now:
Mark Ingram + Brandon Thompson... in exchange for... Shane Vereen + Chandler Jones
- Ingram may/may not be a better RB than Vereen. We'll know by the end of this season.
- Thompson was one that would be a solid fit as a 3-4 DE for the Pats-- competition for Ron Brace.
- Jones sounds like a rare prospect at DE/OLB.
With the full benefit of hindsight, which side of this trade would you take, today?
