7. Saints Nab Jahri Evans on Day 2 of '06 Draft

AV Differential: 141

It's not common for us to make a big deal of a trade involving an offensive lineman, let alone one drafted in the fourth round. But, believe me, this one is worth a look.

On day two of the 2006 draft, the Philadelphia Eagles and New Orleans Saints traded fourth round picks, with veteran defensive lineman Hollis Thomas heading to the Big Easy alongside pick 108. No biggie.

Or maybe it was.

With the Saints' 99th overall selection, Philly took guard Max Jean-Gilles. With the Eagles' 108th pick the Saints took their own guard, Jahri Evans. To say there's a difference between the two lineman's careers would be an understatement.

While Jean-Gilles started just 26 games and posted an AV of 15 in a short four-year career, Evans -- having accumulated an AV of 135 to date -- is still playing at the age of 33. In 11 seasons with the Saints, Evans was named a Pro Bowler six times and an All-Pro performer four times. His career-best AV (19) is better than Jean-Gilles' output for his entire career. Add in Thomas' 14-year career and 77 AV and you get an overlooked, but lopsided deal all the same.
