Is Stinch on the Trading Block

Though it would appear the Saints are settled at offensive tackle with Pro Bowler Jammal Brown and Jon Stinchcomb in place, our source in New Orleans told us not to be surprised if they select a tackle early in April’s draft. Word is, Stinchcomb is thought to be very replaceable, and his contract expires after the 2008 season.

I have said that Stinch maybe our best trade bait in the draft because of the OT we have drafted but the source goes a bit far here. If an OLT is there you have to take him, if he is the BPA and a trade fan not be reached. I see no way possible for the saints to just cut him. I look to the bench and think the answer is there. Maybe drafting some depth would be wise and moving Brown to RT also wise. I think you can use Stinch to move up the board as a third round pick in value, at the most.

Who might be around for the saints to pick

Ryan Clady, OT, Boise State ' He is my number reason a team will trade up to 10, right now.

After that your guess is as good as mine, How all these good OT in the draft will fall is up in the air. This draft is almost 4 rounds deep in good OT, OG and a few OC sprinkled in for good messure.
