We're going to trade up. I can feel it in my bones. Probably for Kancey or one of the edges. I also wouldn't mind being wrong.

Hope not... if any year is it, this is the year to trade BACK, with the depth at TE, DL and other positions of need.

Isn't Smoke part of our depth there?

I wouldn't hold my breath on Smoke. Core special teamer at best.

If we trade back, I'm going to go out and buy a cake.

I still say we might have to move up to get Murphy and Smith but I would not complain! McBride in the 3rd!

He should be motivated to play for a new contract and if he can be had for a 3rd rounder or two, it's an intriguing gamble. That Ohio State pipeline has been good to us.

I like the way you think. .

Be prepared for surprises.

In 2015 the Saints 1st round picks were Andrus Peat and Stephone Anthony
In 2018 (and 2019) the Saints picked Davenport in the 1st round
In 2020 the Saints picked Ruiz in the 1st round
In 2021 the Saints picked Payton Turner in the 1st round
All of those picks surprised me at the time.

Every pick is a surprise for me. Beyond the top eight to ten names that are plastered all over the place for the month before the draft I haven't heard of any of these players. That's what what I look forward to when it comes to the actual days of the draft. Getting to learn about our new players.

Every year it's the same thing. It seems like 2/3rd's, or more, of all fans are pissed off after the draft because their team didn't pick who they wanted or expected. Having no specific wants or expectations I also have no disappointments, I suppose. Just looking forward to "meeting" our new players!

I doubt you are alone in that, Cam.
