Saints in position to trade down with team looking for a QB

Like Danno said we never do it really

I am one that is always willing to trade back if the right player does not fall into your lap.

With the cap situation still hanging around and 2017 looks to be the big year in the rebuilding mode I say get the picks and stuff the roster full of late day two and early day three players as you can. All with the idea to try to get players to replace all the aging veterans that will be FA in 2017. Well as many as you can.

Last year's draft class looks to be a promising start.
31st Overall (Round 1) - Stephone Anthony, ILB, Clemson
44th Overall (Round 2) - Hau'oli Kikaha, OLB, Washington
154th Overall (Round 5) - Tyeler Davison, DT, Fresno State

Have yet to see
78th Overall (Round 3) - P.J. Williams, CB. Florida State
148th Overall (Round 5) - Davis Tull, OLB, Tennessee-Chattanooga

IR issues
167th Overall (Round 5) - Damian Swann, CB, Georgia

God only knows
13th Overall (Round 1) - Andrus Peat, OT, Stanford
75th Overall (Round 3) - Garrett Grayson, QB, Colorado State

Still not sold on
230th Overall (Round 7) - Marcus Murphy, RB, Missouri

The elite DE's and OLB's will be gone by the mid 1st round and we need one in the worst way. If we want one we need to stay put and take the best available at our pick. If we don't it will set us back 2-3 years. I'd say trade Spiller and maybe another RB and try to get a 2nd or 3rd round pick for them, then we could trade back up into round 1 and get another top player, say a Whitehair or the G from LSU.

Trading Graham last season wasn't a bad thing it netted us a C and a 31st pick, not bad. If we trade Jordan, we could get a top tier starter like Unger in the Seattle trade and a pretty decent pick in the draft. I like trades you get one good player and lose nothing + a pick. I would put Bush and Vaccarro on the block to and get better SS's.

Pretty sure not 1 team would trade for our defensive players.

Does anyone know how many players are traded for draft picks?

They're like Big Foot sightings. It just doesn't happen in the real world.
