I agree that the 1st round pick is too high, but here's my philosophy on trading a player for a pick:

If you can get a young, proven commodity like Jeremy Shockey, then you should absolutely do it. The guy is a gamebreaker and would bring something to this team that we haven't had in a long, long time. In fact, I bet you could argue that he'd be the best TE to ever suit up in the black and gold. He's young, which means he still has his best years in front of him, and you know what you're getting. Trade him for a second or third round pick makes complete sense to me. Let's look at a few of the second round picks that we've made in the last few years: Roman Harper, Josh Bullocks, Devery Henderson. Now I of course don't believe that just because we have sucked at drafting second round picks in the past, that we are going to do that this year, but my point is that we thought we were going to be getting some good players in the second round, and honestly, they all blow. I'd take Shockey in a heart beat for the second round pick.

I would offer them the third rd pick and if they dont take it.........move on

Re: saints want shockey
 

I definitely wouldn't trade him for our 1st round pick... that would be pretty stupid. Our second, probably not either as we draft pretty high in the second round. For our third than definitely... that's good value for a Pro Bowl tight end.

shockey would be a HUGE asset if his 'tude remains in check. if meachem turns out to be a big producer, our offense would be unstoppable with shockey added to it.

Re: saints want shockey
 

I'm ready for the draft!!!!!

and then preseason!!!!!!!!!

Re: saints want shockey
 

and then the postseason.

Re: saints want shockey
 

if anything happens, it wont happen until around the draft. on the plus side, we got vilma for a pick next year, so another trade is a possibilty.

Re: saints want shockey
 

I would love to see a big-play tight end in the Saints offense. Remember that Brees had two favorite receiving targets in San Diego, one being Gates. If he could have another receiving threat like that, Brees would have so many options it would put his head on a swivel with Colston, Bush, and Shockey. You could throw the waterboy in as a 2nd receiver and it wouldn't make any difference. If Shockey is the answer, go get him.
