Okay, thought we could have some fun today and post really crazy moves the Saints could pull in the draft that would totally blow everyone out of the water...

I'll start...

Tennessee Titans and New Orleans Saints announce trade...

Tennessee Titans send the No. 1 overall pick in the draft and a third round pick (No. 64 pick) to the New Orleans Saints...

New Orleans Saints send their first round pick (no. 12 overall) and LT Terron Armstead to the Tennessee Titans...

How this helps both teams...

For Tennessee that get a level of certainty with an established Left Tackle to protect their franchise quarterback; and, at pick No. 12, they still get an impact draft pick to help their team...

For New Orleans, the next gen quarterback comes on board and gets a year to learn under Payton/Brees; they relieve themselves of the challenge of re-signing Armstead, open the LT position for Andrus Peat, his natural position, with cap friendly numbers for the next four years; with the early third round pick, it gives the Saints more options to find help on the right side of the offensive line...

Why it won't happen...

While Tennessee would be getting some real value in Armstead, they're going to want more and wouldn't be willing to give up that third round pick even though the teams would essentially be swapping two players for two players...

New Orleans brain-trust may still be thinking they can win one more championship and believe Brees can finish a regular season and post season with his aging body and may not be ready to abandon that thread; also, Andrus Peat has struggled and it may not all be because he's out of his comfort zone at Left Tackle...

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...
