Ditka's trade did have one benefit over the Redskins' trade... the Saints were done paying after the next year. Whereas the Redskins paid over 2 years including losing a 2nd overall pick. (although the Saints' 2000 1st rounder was also a 2nd overall that they lost.)
Had circumstances been reversed, I think we'd have had a new coach by now.
Agree on that, still was a complete waste of a draft though, at least skins had more picks, though they all sucked lol.
No doubt we'd have a new coach by now, just like the skins got last year. Just like ditka lost his job the following season after grabbing Ricky.
Ditka - Entire 99' draft and 2000 1st overall
Skins - traded 1sts in 2012, gained 2012 2nd as well. Gained 2013 and 2014 1st rounders.
Both bad in their own ways and both were worthless picks lol. its awesome!!
