Its either trade up or take a CB

1st, let me say that there is alot of "smoke & mirrors" going on from the Saints. If they don't trade up to get Dorsey, I look for them to draft Cromartie or trade down. Trading up benefits the Saints in two ways....1st, it gets us the stud DT which we severely need, plus it keeps division rival Atlanta from picking up Dorsey. I think it's all going to depend upon the Rams asking price to move up to #2. I'm beginning to hear that some people in the Saints organization really like Cromartie (CB-Middle Tennessee). He's another character guy with amazing athleticism & considered by most scouts to be very coachable. Either way, I don't look for them to show their hand until draft day.

Good points. I agree that its if we stay put its the Patriots and Bengals that will determine our pick. The Pats could make a play for McKelvin, Ellis, or Rivers and I would think the Bengals would take whomever is left between Rivers and Ellis. That would leave us with either McKelvin or DRC and I would be fine with either one.

I cant see all of our top rated players being selected by 10 and everyone knows someone will slip through...it happens every year....now the chances of that being dorsey are not good but ellis and rivers are very possible picks at 10....when the pats take rivers and the bengals take ellis because they wont address their own CB needs...we will be left with whoever is the highest rated CB
