I'm just gonna be brutally honest here.

No. I'm not.

We're a bad team in a truly awful division. Winning this truly awful division doesn't change the reality that we're a bad team. Put any NFC South team in any other division and none of us are in playoff talks. None of us deserve to be. Whoever wins this awful division is just costing themselves significant draft assets and I could honestly see winning the division deluding Tepper into thinking he's got this all figured out now.

It would be a significant net negative for the future of the organization. Sorry to rain on the parade.

There are no guarantees in the draft regardless of position. I'll take wins and a chance at the postseason any day of the week.

In the big picture, life is uncertain 

we can talk about draft and draft picks, who knows if there will even be a season next year.  Covid should have taught us all a lesson about uncertainty and certainly for the younger ones. I’m old, I’ve lived through things   If I’m lucky, I’ll live through more 

Thus, I say be very glad for the moment we are in   Enjoy it 

our team is truly bunch of ‘Rudy’s’ with a short staffed coaching staff …giving everything they have 

be happy for them damnit   Be happy for ourselves as fans that there is meaningful football being played this month 

it’s a god damned miracle 

pro football is about winning right now period.   I could give  two shakes of a rat’s ass about the draft   

So stop the damned sulking and be happy 

Woah buddy, don't tell me how to have a good time /s

I am all in for trying to go to the playoffs and say to heck with a slow down to try obtaining lower draft choices that may not turn out as expected.

I will take an aggressive, forward thinking playoff push, as opposed to a passive draft tanking process every time.

Also there are no dynastys anymore. There is so much parity in the NFL that, as depressing as it may be, this may be our shot. Get a wild card spot and anything can happen.

Yeah, look at the Super Bowl winners from last year.....LA Rams.  They are 4-9 this year.  There are no guarantees when parity reins.

      Trade deadline

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      Saints trade WR Shaheed to Seahawks Seahawks get: WR Rashid Shaheed Saints get: 2026 fourth-round pick, 2026 fifth-round pick Seahawks' grade: A- Saints' grade: B+ One of the NFL's hottest passing teams just got better. The Seahawks currently rank third in EPA per dropback (0.25) and first in success rate on dropbacks (53%). And now they are adding Shaheed in a move that makes sense both on the field and in terms of where the Seahawks are as a franchise. Shaheed, 27, is averaging 1.8 yards per route run this season. But I think that sells him short because that number is down a bit from his career average entering this year (2.0) and he's been playing a role that includes running fewer vertical routes (34%) compared to last year (44%). Shaheed also has consistently posted above-average open scores in ESPN's receiver score metrics, including a 63 this season that ranks 28th among wide receivers. As a complement to Jaxon Smith-Njigba, I expect Shaheed will run downfield more often and be a bigger threat in that role than rookie Tory Horton was. When Cooper Kupp returns, he and Shaheed will make for a nice pair of secondary threats behind one of the best receivers in the league in Smith-Njigba. This is the time to strike for the Seahawks. FPI gives Seattle an 84% chance to make the playoffs and a 5% shot at winning the Super Bowl. This addition helps boost their chances without mortgaging their future the way the Colts did in the Sauce Gardner trade. Shaheed is a pending free agent but given the leverage of the moment for the Seahawks and their need I think they ought to be plenty willing to pay the cost. Shaheed is young enough to where if Seattle doesn't retain him he should sign a free agent contract that would yield Seattle a compensatory pick -- if the Seahawks don't nullify that pick with signings of their own. Because the Seahawks currently have $79 million in cap space next year, per OverTheCap, getting that compensatory pick is not guaranteed. The Saints are not rolling in cap space the way the Seahawks are -- and thus would land a compensatory pick for Shaheed -- but they got more draft capital this way than they otherwise would have. Considering New Orleans' 1-8 record, this should have been an easy decision.
