Re: Saints move to #1 pick possible?

If we trade cooks and get a first rounder in exchange we have to stay pat and draft defensive BPA in the first round with both picks! Drafting is a numbers game and I am sick of throwing away draft picks like discards playing poker.

Then decide whether to go guard in the third round or straight defensive draft up to the fifth round where we try to develop O-line or a scat back/returner.

+1. We would need to give the Browns both 1st and possibly next year's 1st and some more early round picks, since we are the ones initiating the trade. I think having 2 mid round 1st's helps us more than mortgaging several high picks on one player.


I wouldn't do it in any draft scenario.

Re: Saints move to #1 pick possible?

I really don't know what a mid 1st trade pick would be worth but I would possibly consider trading that pick for 2 2nd rounders if anyway possible, I believe most of the 2nd round is loaded with talent. I know they have a point scale but I don't know the worth. We could have 1 1st rounder and possibly 3 2nd rounders, 4 players in the 1st 2 rounds could ease alot of our glass cb. woes and those cb.'s this year look good.

I agree! There is a loon of solid cb's in this years draft some drafted in the 4/5 reds will see substantial playing time.

Not true.

We could send just the number 11 if we also send player #9.

Which is about as likely as any other scenario

DE plays a role with 10 other guys. Too many other needs and I'm not spending that much on a player who never touches the ball.

Cooks isn't going anywhere. He will be a Saints this season and move on. Hopefully, he will light it up and command the money he desires. The Saints are going to get an elite player at #11. The can get a better pass rusher than what's currently on the roster in round 2. It's a deep draft except guards and linebackers. Unfortunately, two needs for the Saints.

This wouldn't surprise me in the least.
