Saints and Falcons both without 1st round picks for 2012 draft

[R0CKnR0LLA]

Just a friendly reminder.

Saints gave up a 1st and 2nd for a guy to be part of their 4 RB rotation, average 3.9 YPC and get injured all the time (LOL)

Falcons gave up a truckload of picks for a #2 WR so they could be the first team in NFL playoff history to finish with a whopping 2 points (double LOL)

Remember when the Panthers traded a future 1 (and a 2nd and 4th) for Otah and it came back to bite us in the ass? And then it lead to other desperate (bad) moves because we were short on picks. Well, shoes on the other foot this time.

These moves catch up to you eventually and that "eventually" is coming this offseason. If ever there were a time to leapfrog these teams in the division it would be now.

Breaks my heart. :lol:

Saints and Falcons also have a ton of free agents...

Actually, it's worse to trade those picks away now with the new rookie pay scale. First and second round picks are worth much more now, as that's a possible elite player, with a low salary locked up for years.

The shoe is on the other table, which is turned

[Marguide]

Yeah, and everyone had Ingram pegged pre-season as the most likely candidate to win OROY.

Haaaahaaaa. I love it. Couldn't happen to nicer guys.

Not the point. They're taking risks that can lead to a fall from grace easily. Tons of FA and lack of picks hurt. We were in the same spot in 08 and look where we were in 09 and 10. Poo happens in a year.

The total number of picks given up for Julio is funny as hell:

their 1st- (27th overall), second- (59th) and fourth-round (124th) picks last year and their first- and fourth-round picks in 2012

:lol:

You can't prove the Falcons made the playoffs.

Man I hope we find a desperate trade partner...

[Strawman]

Julio is no AJ Green either, production will never justify those picks.

Interesting

Where's the Bucs though lol

Man I hope we find a desperate trade partner...

Imagine us winning the coin flip over Miami and having some QB-needy team pulling an Atlanta from last year and trading us a slew of picks to move up and grab Tannehill. With Miami needing a QB and with Ponder going so high last year you never know.
