I know that it's a different round based on playing time, but does anyone know more about it? Could it potentially turn into a first round pick? I'm happy to see JV go to a contender, and I will definitely LOVE to watch the Saints play next year, but I was a little disappointed we didn't get ANYTHING to help us in the 2008 campaign. Oh well. I guess we're building a franchise. On a side note, everybody who has complained about the Panthers "raping us" in the Jenkins trade is crazy. A third and a fifth? Anthony Schlegel and Jason Pociask? We got one of the best DT's in football, people! I'd trade a third and a fifth for the anchor to our defense ANY DAY.
As of now, what is being reported is Saints give us a conditional 4th round pick. Based on what ever goals/incentives Vilma meets next season will determine if we get a better pick.
I'll take it. We'll probably get a third back for Robertson. We would have had to use our #2 to get a starter for NT. This sets us up to take Gholston.
It won't be worse then a 4th. Obviously, It would have been nice to get a 3rd, even a 2nd rounder, but depending on Vilma's play, we may get a 1st, 2nd or 3rd rounder. It's really not as bad as it sounds at all. Better to get value, then see him walk for nothing next season.
a 4th is total bullshit, we're getting fucked in this one. He's worth way more than that, better yet, we should use him next year and actually get somethign out of it.
You can't be serious. Would someone actually take the time to understand what a conditional pick is before they just start posting like a mental case? Unbelievable. Besides that, we don't even know if it is a conditional pick yet, it's all speculation.
To me, it's an investment. We know that Vilma will be working his ass off for a new contract if the Saints don't give him one this summer like it's being reported. I know the type of player Jon is and he's definately going to be a baller next season. No doubt in my mind, either.
Yes, and hopefully it has a high ceiling based on performance. None of us know the details but if a 4th rd pick is on the table, with only the condition to move up a rd or so, then I'd prefer on taking the change with keeping to see how performs, a year later in this system, surrounded by improved talent
Yeah things are becoming extremely juvenile on this board...I think I am gonna take a couple of days off from posting.
