    Now that it's finally been confirmed I feel I can give my opinion. That was a fantastic trade for the Saints. Still got a huge question mark for QB, but there are a few ways they can go. And you'd never expect them to have 24 stars or so of cap space.

    I agree. The Saints could've cut Brees for that cap space, but got Slauson (via Cutler trade) and the #3 pick (while sacrificing a 2) out of it.

    I'm glad I could get at least one NT. The most important and underrated position on defense if you ask me. CBs get much more attention because they're the result of the big plays, but when a CB gets "burned", part of that is the D-line not doing its job. The closer to the ball you are at the snap, the better your odds of directly affecting the play.

    Well, simple math states that if you have 40 million of cap in a game, and have many more positions to go, that investing close to a 4th of that cap into a player isn't necessarily a grand idea. You know, being that there are many more positions and all. It's especially interesting given the state of the draft class being exceptionally deep in DL talent. 

    You're right in a sense, that people tend to overpay for marginal talent in a bubble. You can always look at a cheaper player and go "he's a better deal". But if you keep making that decision, you'll wind up with way too much leftover and not enough talent to compete. Talent's salary is exponential. 

     

    Secondly, this draft may be full of D-line talent, but in a similar fashion they might just get overdrafted and you could wind up with nothing.
