I think you are reading that incorrectly. The value was a 2nd rounder plus roughly a 5th rounder (net between giving up a 4th and getting a 6th in return).
Sanu was younger, on a cheaper contract, and it was mid season move by a team that was desperate because they were watching an awful WR core knee cap an amazing defense. and there was a rush by a bunch of teams at that point to get WR's. Julio is older, he's starting to have injury issues, his contract is fixed so any decline is a serious risk, and it's the off season so no team actually is as desperate as they would be mid season but the Falcons can't even sign their rookies until they clear Julio's space.
I mean can you blame them? There's really no reason the Pats couldn't beat this deal. Give them a second and Sony or Winovitch and you give them more immediate value. Jones would have fundamentally altered our offense. Though with the recent WR signing I kinda figured we were out. I'm just glad it went to a team I don't really have much faith in to cross the finish line got him.
Not this
again, sigh..
Not this
We paid top dollar at the trade deadline to hope to get one more playoff run for the dynasty, and that player promptly got injured.
That pick ended up being #55 so near the end of the 2nd, and if we had gone further it would have been even further back.
In short we had to overpay back then to try to meet short term goals.
Now our team is more focused on long term goals so adding an expensive, aging and often injured WR doesn't make sense.
But hey the fellowship of the miserable need more misery for their life to make sense to them, so we know how sports talk radio will play this one.
