At #12? No way. The Dolphins in 2006 though?
http://www.fannation.com/truth_and_rumors/view/124270 Slated for free agency in 2006, two teams seemed most eager to get Drew Brees: Miami and New Orleans. Brees scheduled a visit in New Orleans first. The Saints offered Brees a five-year contract that included $8 million guaranteed the first year and a $10 million option the second year. Brees was blown away, but sources insisted he really preferred to play for the Dolphins instead. So he left New Orleans without signing a contract and flew to South Florida. He had dinner with Nick Saban at a place called Grille 66 in Fort Lauderdale which to this day remains where the Dolphins take their free agents and coach candidates and alike. Everything seemed cool but the next day weirded Brees out. He was reportedly subjected to a six-hour physical that centered, of course, around his surgically repaired shoulder. To this day, I am not certain whether or not the Dolphins made Brees an offer. A good source close to Brees insisted Miami did, although it was a lowball offer. |

If it makes you feel any better, from 2001-2006 Trent had the same QB rating in SD as Trent had in KC. They were about the same until he became a FA. So we really wouldn't have benefited unless we could have resigned him to another deal, something I'm not too sure we could have.
What's crazier is looking at the 2001 Draft for the Chargers. There were a lot of guys I haven't heard of but they got both Brees AND Tomlinson... wow. Maybe we can do that this year. |

That '01 draft makes me weep.
For all intents and purposes, Green was our first round pick, and Dick was our second round pick. What a ****ing waste.

Watching today's game made me think - in hind sight yes but not really bc they were actual players talked about during the draft time. Drew Brees in 01, Frenney in 02 and Polamolulu in 03. Chiefs could have had them. FML.
