I liked Trent Green, but you need more than 3 productive years out of a first rounder for it to be a win.

Brees wasn't "likely" to give anyone 10 years of production in the minds of the 32 or so teams that passed on him in the first round of his draft. Anyone "likely" to give a team 10 years of QB production is taken in the first round.
And Green had 4 productive years for the Chiefs. He could have had even more if it weren't for a cheap shot that effectively ended his career. Drew Brees isn't immune to catastrophic injury, he just hasn't had one yet.
