Saints sign Jason Smith, OT

I like it. As mentioned, you don't go #2 overall because you never showed you could be a NFL player. This is a small risk big reward type move and yes, does leverage us a bit with that pick.

We need to free up some cap room though as Oak states and I think that comes in the form of possibly a Roman Harper situation. Does anyone else seem us packaging Harper and our pick to a team with cap room to shift slightly in the draft? I can see us doing that and targeting Vaccaro with our pick.

I personally see Ivory as a more movable player, and the benefit of packaging him in a trade would be that his whole $2M would come off the books without any dead money.
