I like the trade. We took our #4 QB who probably was not going to see the field and dealt him for an ILB, a position sorely lacking in depth. Looking at Dent's numbers, he's nothing special but ILB stats can be deceiving. He has 1.5 sacks, 2 FFs and 3 PDs over a three-year career which tells me he *can* do those things and if he is wiling and able to contribute on special teams, this was a win-win.
ESPN says the Saints were after Yates too. Yates, btw, is from Georgia so I'm sure he is thrilled with the deal.
