Brees didn't help the team that drafted him. I don't see how we can call that a mistake even with the benefit of hindsight. Vermeil got what he wanted to get out of Trent Green.
The Cassel trade on the other hand was bad, but the big mistake was committing to him for several years instead of bringing in real competition or finding a replacement after year 3.
