With Deuce still aboard, no one can really predict how they would draft. So my thinking would be to pay the money to Deuce, just in case of that possible trade scenario. The Saints could move down one or two spots, pick up another draft pick, and still get their guy. Anyway, just a thought...

the wrench in this thinking is that all the teams saw how well PT ran late last year. Whether or not we let him go the Saints are a serious wildcard, all teams have to do is look at last year and see that when we took a WR in the first round.
