Draft question

unless we are willing to move PT or a wide receiver, we don't really have any trade-value depth

we could end up with another pick if we tender a resticted FA and someone else signs them-- maybe Casillas?

of course if we tag either Nicks or Colston and if they go away we would get two number 1's. Slim on Nicks and None on Colston

If we put the franchise tag on Nicks or Colston they can't go anywhere. They aren't restricted free agents. We re-sign them, tag them, or they just leave. We don't get anything.

If they are tagged as a "nonexclusive franchise player" there is a chance that another team hands them an offer sheet and if the Saints don't match that they would be compensated with 2 1st round draft picks, but that scenario is very unlikely to take place.
