Sorry to tell you, but this wouldn't happen even in a dream..

Re: My dream draft 2013
 

If Goodell isn't going to reinstate Payton until after the Super Bowl even though our season is over then I don't see him easing up on the loss of a draft pick either. With that being said, I wouldn't mind trading down in the 1st round and picking up that team's 2nd round pick as compensation.

Re: My dream draft 2013
 

Rhodes is an end of the first round talent, and who are you giving up to get that second rd pick back cause "HO"dger ain't giving it back willingly....

Re: My dream draft 2013
 

Don't hold your breath on Godhell giving us our second rounder back.
Now if we were to water board him he would probably go for it. Let him hold his breath in anticipation for awhile. God I hate that man and I don't hate.

Re: My dream draft 2013
 

I think Roger gives back the pick. The franchise cooperated. So what if the players fought back.

Re: My dream draft 2013
 

Wasn't Rogers stipulation that he would give the 2nd back but take the 4th & 5th pick in compensation?

I'd rather keep the 4th & 5th...

Re: My dream draft 2013
 

Here's some interesting thoughts I came up with:

I don't know, here are a few things I think we could wind up seeing.

Players that though are rated a little higher who could still be avaliable when the Saints pick.

Round 1.

1. Bjoern Werner - DE - Texas A&M - 6'-4" - 260 Lbs.
2. Barkevious Mingo - OLB - LSU - 6'-41/2" - 245 Lbs. ( Could you see him and Wilson as our OLB's?)
3. Sheldon Richardson - DT - Missouri - 6'-3" - 310 Lbs.
4. Jonathan Hankins - DT - Ohio St. 6'-3" - 325 Lbs.
5. Sam Montgomery - DE - LSU - 6'-4" - 268 Lbs.

Fortunately, we need all of those positions and could get one of these top talents at that position as I believe one could fall to us depending on how the draft goes and maybe even one or two more. It's also quite possible that we could trade down 1-3 spots and still get one of these 5 players as well as picking up a 2nd round pick that would put us in the 48-50 range, so......

Round 2

1.Justin Pugh - LOT - Syracuse - 6'-4" - 298 Lbs.
2. Logan Ryan - CB - Rutgers - 5'-11 1/2" - 192 Lbs.
3.Travis Frederick - C - Wisconsin - 6'-4 1/2" - 330 Lbs. ( I can see our run game improving now.)
4.William Gholston - DE - Michigan St. - 6'-6 1/2" - 280 Lbs.
5. Brandon Jenkins - DE/OLB - Florida St. - 6'-3" - 262 Lbs.

Again, we could use any of these positions too.

Round 3

1. Corey Lemoiner - DE/OLB - Auburn - 6'-3" 250 Lbs.
2. Akeem Spence - DT - IL. - 6'-1" - 310 Lbs. (A little small but hard to move.)
3. Tharold Simon - CB - LSU - 6'-2 1/4" - 195 Lbs. (Big corners are what is making Seattle a contender.)
4. Joe Kruger - DE - Utah - 6'-6 1/2" - 275 Lbs.
5. Tyrann Mathieu - CB - LSU - (A reach here maybe?)

Anyway, what's encouraging is that these are some top talents at their positions for the rounds they could be selected in which I believe I have them fairly realistically positioned and they are all need areas for our team. I'd need to get more info to go further into the latter rounds. Thoughts??

Re: My dream draft 2013
 

He isn't what Spags looks for in DB's, bigger stronger press corners. Mathieu is what 5'9", no way he can compete against the bigger receivers...

Re: My dream draft 2013
 

He wouldn't have to..... if you select him you would want him to be a slot corner..... plus he's one hell of a kick-off return guy. If you can house in that outside life he could be special. But not until the later rounds.
