I absolutely can exclude that because it was a separate trade with a different team. The fins got a late 2nd from the Saints and the Cards got a 5th as a part of the Rosen deal. This faulty logic leads to people saying "there's no risk because it's like he only cost a 5th rd pick" ... which is incorrect and the entire basis for why I am in disagreement about the perceived value of this trade.
Exactly and people don't factor in the opportunity cost of not getting someone in the second round like McCoy who is what I wanted with the pick. I think if the fins could have held their water a bit they could have given a 2019 third rounder or that 2020 2nd rounder instead of sending the 2019 second rounder. Hell we gave them a late 2nd rounder this year. At that point the pats weren't taking him. I'm not sure why we gave the 2nd up. We had all the leverage at that point.
