They could have spent a hundred picks on TE's.

We're any of them anywhere near the level of TG? Nope. Would either of those guys EVER been worth more than a 3rd round pick the second after they were darfted? Nope.

Drafting the best player available has nothing to do with this scenario.

None.

And what people don't get is that PAST TRADES don't have anything to do with this scenario either.

Just because the Saints were reeruned and completely overpaid for Shockey doesn't mean there is a league mandate that the next team has to give up the same, or more.

No one offered more than a 3rd. Carl called their bluff.

Carl lost.

Simple as that.
