that the trade the Saints were offering to the Chiefs has ZERO bearing on what they were offering to us??
The Chiefs had tons of day 1 picks & were absolutely not looking to trade down unless totally blown away by an offer. 80% the GM's had Dorsey as the #1 talent in the entire draft.
Everyone & their mother knew the Pats wanted to trade down. Ellis while a nice player was ranked nowhere near Dorsey. The Pats traded down to a slot where they knew the would get the player they wanted & at a much better price with a free 3rd round pick to boot. The 5th was a pick destined to not make the team so who cares.
