I just read on CBSSportsline where Pete Prisco is reporting that the Saints are shopping Dwight Smith around and have been for some time. They have been asking for a third round pick in exchange for our best safety. This has been going on even before we signed Keith Davis to an offer sheet. Maybe now that Dallas has matched, Loomis will come to his senses and stop shopping around the key to our secondary.

I know how great this draft crop is and yes it makes sense to aquire as many picks as possible, but why trade Dwight for a third round pick? Even if it were the first pick in the third round, would that be worth our best safety/corner? I was thinking that our secondary might look pretty good on paper this year with Mike and Dwight at corner and B. Scott and J. Bullocks at safety along with Omar, Fred and co. Now it looks like the key member might be traded for a freakin third round pick! Please tell me this is just an old rumor or old news that will never come to fruition.

Also, Prisco stated that the Saints really want to trade down and pick A.J. Hawk and are putting out a Leinhart smoke screen in order to sucker the Jets to trade up. I wouldn't mind that at all, but I also would like to see The Brick in black and gold.
