Saints move to #1 pick possible?

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; I would stay at 11 and just pick up more picks for cooks. Have a feeling the Browns are going to trade out or have a surprise pick. LF or a qb imo would go #1 which would push Garrett ...

Re: Saints move to #1 pick possible?

I would stay at 11 and just pick up more picks for cooks. Have a feeling the Browns are going to trade out or have a surprise pick. LF or a qb imo would go #1 which would push Garrett back further possibly to their pick at 12. The Browns need someone to bring in fans and a qb or LF would do that. Garrett imho is way overrated. He disappeared in big games. Had 0 tackles against LSU and KSU which happen to be his last 2 games. His only good game of the season came against the great UTSA where he had 7 tackles and 4.5 sacks. To give you an idea how bad he was the rest of the season he only had a total of 18 solo tackles and 8.5 sacks. Taco from Um had 10 sacks with 5 of those coming in the last two games against OSU and FSU he would be my edge rusher.

Bower had 4 sacks and 12 tackles in a partime role. He can be had as a udfa. Not much difference between the two.

As I said in another thread it will be Cooks (replacing Pryor) pick #11 and our 3rd next year. Browns will then turn pick 11 and 12 into another top 5 pick and land their QB Deshaun Watson or hold pick 11 and 12 and get Deshon Kizer at #11 and DE Derek Barnett. This is a no lose situation for the Browns and us if we land Myles Garrett!

Cooks (a player we used a first and third to acquire), our first round pick No. 11, and a third round pick next season...

Somebody watched Draft Day one too many times...

Why do that, grab a NT( Brandon Williams) in FA and draft a DE in the 2nd, he will benifit from the interior line play just like Jordan. DE is fairly deep this draft, moving to #1 with 2 !st rounders as deep as the draft is on D would be suicide for a coach if it didn't work out.

Re: Saints move to #1 pick possible?

we should get as many picks as possible and build through the draft. everyone knows that the draft is a crap shoot and there is no sure thing. we have made far too many mistakes which have landed us at 7-9 3 straight years. At least with more draft picks we have more of a chance to have some work out.

has anyone from the '15 draft worked out minus Peat?

that was a good movie. I just think getting a talent like Myles would totally change our defense with Sheldon, Fairley and Cam now that line will make the entire defense so much better. Cooks is expendable at this point and we would only be giving the 3rd to move up 10 spots

I'm not seein' a Ricky Williams anywhere around here. Of course, I wasn't seein' a Ricky Williams even when I was looking at Ricky Williams so...

Re: Saints move to #1 pick possible?

There are too many options in FA to package deals for specific players in the draft.

If we want to trade Cooks it's because he is no longer a team player, or deemed expendable. If we get a good pick or two for Cooks then great.

Dream scenario is Cooks to the jets for Richardson.

Like I said above, Garrett is a below avg player. Stats dont lie. He had one good game in 2016. That game was against UTSA. 0 tackles the last 2 games of the year. ONly 2 aggies I would take is Knight or Noil
