Re: Guessing Our 1st Pick
I heard on the NFL network (radio) that the Saints are making calls looking to move up...

Re: Guessing Our 1st Pick
There is a tremendous amount of gamesmanship and fact finding hitting the fan in the last hours before the draft...
Caveat emptor ! |

Re: Guessing Our 1st Pick
Call me crazy, but I don't think we're desperate at TE. As long as the 1st pick isn't QB, I'll be happy. But I'd like to see a guard that can play center or a center that can play guard, if a pass rusher or elite LB isn't available with the first pick.
If it is TE, I like Hurst from SC better than Goedert, but a guy I like for later is Ian Thomas from Indiana. Since the team never seems to put priority on LB since the dome patrol, with the exception of Vilma, I don't think they'll pick a LB in the first round. My prediction, if they stay at 27, is either Lorenzo Carter or Josh Sweat. Whodat!! |

Re: Guessing Our 1st Pick
Back from Lunch - Okay, here's the thing about a possible move up...
Last year's No. 27 pick was Kansas City, who jumped the Saints, in a trade with Buffalo to take QB Patrick Mahomes... KC got the No. 10 pick, Mahomes; Buffalo got the 27th pick, LSU CB Tre'Davious White, the 91st pick in the third they traded to the Rams, and this year's No. 22 pick... Buffalo got one helluva CB and the jury's out until tonight on the other pick... Saints now have some history to see if they could move all the way up by giving up a first round pick, their 3rd round pick, and their 2019 pick... And, Sean Payton's good friend, John Gruden and his Raiders are sitting at No. 10 this year! Now they're seeing which teams ahead of them would be willing to make that deal... But Jeff Duncan (only saavy sports writer that the TP has) makes a great point - Saints will move up for a disruptive pass rusher, defender - not a quarterback... |
Re: Guessing Our 1st Pick
The other side of this is - While it makes sense for the Saints to do their due diligence, Who leak this out there? and Why?
Makes sense for one of the teams up there to leak it - to drive the market price higher... But would the Saints want it leaked? If so, why? Possibly to get Division rivals the ATL and the Big Bad Black Cats to panic and move up? Maybe. Or maybe it's to create a vacuum for Days 2 & 3 where there's an abundance of starting talent... |
