The Giants have [traded CB Eli Apple](https://www.si.com/nfl/2018/10/23/eli-apple-trade-giants-saints-draft-picks) to the Saints for a 4th round pick in 2019 and a 7th round pick in 2020.

The Saints seem to be shooting for short-term success while Drew Brees is still playing at a high level; they now have only one pick in the first four rounds of next year’s draft.

In a bizarre story, Broncos backup QB Chad Kelly [was arrested for criminal trespass](http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/25062867/broncos-backup-qb-chad-kelly-arrested-trespassing-case). After going to a Halloween party with Broncos players, he was found at 1:00 a.m. on the couch of a young couple “mumbling incoherently”. I’m hoping it’s just maybe a one time illicit drug reaction as opposed to an addiction ala Robert Downey Jr. or a mental illness ala Everson Griffin. He’s a highly talented player, but also, from most accounts I’ve read, a complete asshole. I don’t think this will help his career out much. Although it certainly gives Case Keenum a longer leash to play with.

So let’s see, the 9th overall pick in 2015 Ereck Flowers? Cut. The 10th overall pick in 2016 Eli Apple? Traded for a 4th round pick.

Yeah, this is definitely a team with “garbage fire” written all over it. Ugh.
