Too bad DT Vea won't fall but perhaps DT Maurice Hurst could. Like the idea of a run-stuffing DT in the 1st.

Payne would be fine but I was hoping for others instead.

If we go DE, I have no idea on who to pick but hope it's someone large and who can set the edge (not just pass rush).

If we go OL, there's G/C Billy Price.

If we go TE, there's the other Hurst (or the G-men TEs).

Hurst or bust?

If they pick 6 qbs in first dozen or so picks they will be some talent there when the saints pick, I’m thinking trade down and get 2 seconds , a high and a mid to late picks it depends if Payton and company wants to get cute this year

I also hope we trade down unless one of my favorites fall

The problem with trading out of the first round is that you lose that fifth year option available on first rounders. We're going to have that luxury with both Lattimore and Ramczyk. That will save us at least $20 million in 2021, probably even more with the way contracts are keeping pace with the quickly growing cap.

Good point, but the upside is that late round 1st is more attractive to other teams and we could get a really good deal on some 2nd/3rd/4th rounders.
