I love your idea about grabbing CJ, but I don't think sacrificing 2 or 3 picks to move up is mortgaging our future.

A Rickey Williams type trade is obviously foolish, but a 2 or 3 pick trade to grab a can't miss stud is fine with me.

Hell we gave up two picks for a frigging punter (the least important position on any sports team in the history of sports on this planet) a few years back when we had numerous holes to fill.

Re: Trading up?

Take away my fandom, is there such a play that would be worth a huge trade in the draft? I'm probably thinking way too much into this but a player with those abilities would definitely have a strong possibility on making our offense even more complete.

Maybe when I start farting rainbows and my sh*t turns purple this would happen.

Re: Trading up?

The draft is real deep in WRs this year. Sean and Drew like to spread the ball around. A super stud would kind of be wasted money in our scheme.

Re: Trading up?

Agreed Seer1. Now defense on the other hand...

I could see us stay put at 27. Grab Anthony Barr and then grab a playmaker on offense at 58 or trade up higher in the second round.

Re: Trading up?

Other than Mack or Matthews or Robinson, I wouldn't trade up as there is plenty of talent in this deep draft...

They'd have to give up more then they did to get Ricky Williams, are you willing to do that? Not me. If the Saints were in the top ten I'd say do it, but not all the way from 27. Even though Sammy would look real good in black and gold.

Re: Trading up?

I would like to get Sammy Watkins but that is to much to give up to get up high enough to draft him. I would rather trade up into the top 15 and get OBJ. But if not stay at 27 and pick up a CB or WR

Re: Trading up?

I wonder what it would take to trade up and get Watkins and Gilbert...
