Saints have had few draft picks as compared to nfl average.The draft is deep at wr take one at 27th pick or 58th pick or trade down to early 2nd round but do not trade up.Saints need to get younger an cheaper this is how patriots an 49ers have done they averaged almost double the amount of total draft picks as compared to Saints.They need a wr/olb/saftey/a big 3-4 deffensive lineman/a back up left tackle an a lineman who can back up or push letio at the guard-center position along with a scat back running back.That takes 7 picks a trade down to get say 2 more picks to be used on a qb and another wr or other position for depth.Point is Saint need all the picks they can get do not get hung up on a player a trade from 27th to say 19th most likely a 19 th pick not a world class player.

Loomis and Payton are like Viking warriors. They take what they want. If we like a guy enough and he's within (or out of) reach - they'll trade.

I fully expect to see us trade up at least into round 3

If BPA was a science, most draft boards would look alike.

They don't.

Your BPA depends a lot on the team and what you want to do with him.

I have no problem with a trade up, especially if its only a 3rd rounder.

Losing that 3rd rounder isn't going to hurt especially if we end up getting a player that we're convinced is special.

Quality over quantity.

We burned 2 picks to get Jenkins, that worked out well for us.

Everyone wants to trade down, especially teams with numerous holes to fill. We aren't a team with numerous holes to fill. It will be cheaper to trade up this year than just about any draft in recent memory.

I could also see a lot of position swaps instead of straight up trades...
We could give up our 2nd, 3rd, 4th for another teams 3rd, 4th 5th in order to move up in the 1st. We'd still have the same number of picks, just maybe a half-round later.

Err... No.

Let's see the most WR loaded draft in the history of the draft and you trade up to get a WR? Yes that makes sense......only if you rode the short bus to and from school.

Re: Triplett trades up
 

Aint nobody got time for that!

Cliff notes:

He can't be traded.
