Team back in the playoff hunt

BRSaintsFan · 04-21-2008, 05:36 PM

Mel Kiper just chose the Saints as the team that can get back into the playoff picture next season with a good draft and reported that the Saints are looking to trade up for Sedrick Ellis and also cited the impact of the trade for Shockey. No breaking news, but the great Mel sees these moves as having a big impact.

Well I do not see Ellis going #2 in the draft. The Saints can wait and trade at another position. You go up that high to ensure you get Dorsey ONLY.

Get Dorsey and Brees doesn't go down we are in the playoffs. "PLAYOFFS!?!?!?"

Indeed, I dont see us going to 2 and picking Ellis over Dorsey, but if we can not pull off the trade to 2, we could make a run at 5 or 7 if Ellis is available and make the pick. I would rather see Dorsey but certainly wouldnt fret if we wound up with Ellis.

Who is this Dorsey guy??? LOL.

I think the Saints are doing all the right things. The earliest you see a player going on your board you go to that team and talk trade. You got to make it happen just don't expect a player to fall. If it was Ellis or anyone else it wouldn't be at the #2 position it would be 4 or later.

yeah. if we trade up to #2 its for Dorsey, otherwise we'll trade up to #5 for Ellis, imo.

I like the aggressiveness in the offseason. They are making plays to upgrade the team and arent in denial as in the past. Whether is all works out is to be determined, but they are making the plays. They resigned the players they wanted. They went out and signed 5 players to upgrade the defense and they are at least in discussions about getting another offensive playmaker and getting an impact defensive player in the draft.

Very true. I am liking how we are working the rumors and maybe have a smokescreen or two? No matter what should be a entertaining 5 days.
