brownie man Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Some of the best that come to mind Kc trading Alex Smith Chicago trading for Mack Dallas trading for Cooper My favorite personally is the Jets trading up with Indy for Darnold. I think going in not knowing who was going to be there at 3 took some guts. And to get your franchise QB for 2nds looks like a great move the worst I would say is the Jags resigning Black Bortles. That was such a stupid move they were kidding themselves with that one smh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xmad Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 KC trading Alex Smith might be the best from a value standpoint, especially given how it worked out for the redskins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dome Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Demario Davis is the best linebacker the Saints have had in 20 years. He’s made a huge impact on our defense since we signed him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyld Stallyns Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Colts trading down from pick number 3 to pick number 6 Jets: got - QB Sam Darnold Colts: got - LG Quentin Nelson - RT Braden Smith - Edge Kemoko Turay * - HB Jordan Wilkins * - 2019 second round pick * The second round pick that was originally Seattle’s was traded to Philadelphia (TE Dallas Goedert) for Philly’s second and fifth round picks) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedGold Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Anthony Hitchens should go down as one of the worst at this point. Ebron gotta be up there at the top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwibrown Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Terrence mitchell is a very good corner and cost 4 million per year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. But calling it “far from a great signing” is a bad take The saints finally got a solid starting LB in the middle of their defense, he's not the first LB this decade to have success in New Orleans from FA nor will he be the last. Great signings IMO (it's subjective as heck) are players who provide great return on their value or greatly outperform expectations. Someone like Casey Hayward for the chargers (I know he was re-signed but they signed him as a FA in like 2016) or Teddy Bridgewater who the jets flipped for solid draft captial. You have your terrible deals like, Bradford, J. Stewart, Bortles etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFlaccoSeagulls Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Worst: Take your pick between the Raiders giving $100M to John Gruden or not giving it to Khalil Mack Best: Amari Cooper being traded to the Cowboys for only a 1st rounder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outside of that what real talent have the Saints had at linebacker? It’s been a huge blemish on the team since Payton took over and nobody stands out until you get a few years into the 90s. IMO you’re underselling how well he’s playing and how big of an impact has had on our turnaround. Saints have been the #1 scoring defense since week 4 and through that Davis has played at a level Saints fans simply haven’t seen from a Payton team. Again, I’ll hear an argument for Vilma if it’s good. They went 6 games in a row keeping opponents under 17 points in each game, and a huge part in that is that the Saints finally have a playmaker at linebacker, we’ve had talent on the line and secondary. Demario is the piece that brought it all together. it was 100% a great signing and you’ll never convince me otherwise if I’m being honest lol so we might just agree to disagree.

I mean we all have our opinions but LB play isn't as crucial as it used to be and one solid season from a LB doesn't elevate a defense (Unless we're talking pass rushing LBs like mack) Plus the saints are averaging 20.9 PPG vs 21.2 from last year so eh.

This is more attributed to Lattimore and Williams (and Crawley) taking steps back this year. Lattimore isn’t a world beater and Williams has just been solid. If they were playing like they were last year we’d REALLY have something special on our hands with Davis stepping up the way he has Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
