Smoke screen by both teams I’m sure. Jets want a bidding war and the saints want to bluff, making teams think they are moving up for the top QB. Making other teams move up and lose draft capital to steal a player we didn’t want

If we move up for a QB I will be sad.

AsylumGuido

Hell, if we stay put for a QB I'd be sad, too. We don't NEED a QB right now. Especially not any of these coming out this year.

Mr.Riaton

Most mock drafts have us grabbing Penning or Cross at 16 and Olave at 19 and I’d be more than happy with that to start things off. Realistically we’ll probably trade both first to move up for a qb then grab a safety in the second lol

Shades of the 2018 QB class ... Goff, Wentz, Paxton Lynch, etc.

Go get you a quality starter o lineman &/or WR.

Stay put, please.

I think WR is a given and should be easily attainable where we’re currently picking. If we’re banking on getting a LT though… that’s a pretty big gamble to assume one will be there at 16. I could see Neal, Ekwonu and Cross all going top 10. That would leave Penning and any team could jump ahead of us for him now that we’ve shown our cards.

I wouldn’t want Bernhard Raimann because he’ll be a 25 year old rookie who still needs development. Tyler Smith is really raw and better suited to move inside to guard.

I guess what I’m saying is I wouldn’t be surprised if one of the first round picks was someone completely out of left field.

Is anyone in this draft worth what would amount to THREE first round picks and then some? We would essentially be giving up what the Browns gave up for Watson, possibly more.
I am ok trading and walking away with two day one impact players (one would hope) but trading up doesn’t jive with the idea of pumping the breaks on the cap spending.


Side note- watch this be the best Qb class in NFL history. And no I don’t want a Qb.

It's only two first round picks. In 2022 and 2023 the Saints had 2 1st round picks. They still have two first round picks, just both in 2022 now. If they traded up into the top 10, which is certainly hope they won't do, then they get 1 1st round player for 2 first round picks.

Now presumably they lose the 2nd and the 7th they already traded. They may lose other lower picks. But trading a 1st round next year for a 1st round this year is a swap, not a loss of a pick.

The only real thing that bothers me about this trade is the fact we will be without a first round pick next year in a draft class that is supposed to have several good Qb options. As much as I admire what Winston has overcome I still don’t think he’s a long term answer. Maybe I’m wrong or maybe it’s part of their cap management plan by acquiring young players on a rookie salary. Winston develops them and then go for a Qb in two years when his contract is up. The timing would be right cap wise as you wouldn’t have to shell out as big money contracts within the span of two seasons. Assuming they all earn it.

They have a 1st of either the Raiders or Cowboys when one has a poor start to the season and panics to the fans clamouring for Payton
