That's is a great point - When New England traded back, Payton Camp thought they had their boy in Murray; they likely thought the Chargers were going CB or Safety...

Then the Chargers selected Murray...

Have no doubt that with the Wuhan Virus spectre causing social distancing that that limited the Saints ability to coordinate a trade back within what is normally a too long selection period...

Believe today was the day we were to trade up into the second in a package deal with Warford and/or Peat and take Ruiz early in the second...

Instead they adjusted the plan and made the mild reach of Ruiz...

Re: Saints Draft Days Official Thread
 

Why would you think Ruiz was a reach when he was clearly the best interior offensive lineman in the draft? In your mind it may have been a reach, but you aren't the one doing the REAL drafting, my friend so your opinion of what signifies a reach is just that ... your opinion. ;) As for myself, I thought it was a great pick that addressed one of the biggest needs we had coming into this season.

Re: Saints Draft Days Official Thread
 

The pick keeps looking better and better the more I hear about Ruiz.

19-0 baby!

:bng:

Re: Saints Draft Days Official Thread
 

I doubt the virtual draft had anything to do with not being able to coordinate a trade. It’s always done over the phone or monitor anyway.

I want Higgins and Akers tonight.

Re: Saints Draft Days Official Thread
 

I have leaned one thing I forgot I learned it a couple of years ago. That None of us know what the hell the Saints are going to do come draft day. But about mid season we forget the anger and how upset we were when say Alvin Karama is running like a no one has ever ran before or Thomas leads the leage is pass catches.

I don't have a problem with whatever Sean wants to do because well he gets it done.

I recall so many people complained about AK in the 4th round when we could have got him undrafted FA. Sean sees and knows something. Now if we trade he we'd get a 1st and more for him.

So next year... When the 5 best players availabe are up and we are up. I am going elsewhere...

Re: Saints Draft Days Official Thread
 

45 minutes until the 2nd round begins... and probably an hour until we pick again despite not having a round 2 pick... yet.

Re: Saints Draft Days Official Thread
 

Just got wind that the Saints may have a deal with Miami to trade into the round.

Re: Saints Draft Days Official Thread
 

Now the Bengals are actively trying to trade back... hmmm.

Re: Saints Draft Days Official Thread
 

No kidding? That would be pick 39. Should be lots of good players available in that spot.

Re: Saints Draft Days Official Thread
 

Re: Saints Draft Days Official Thread
 

Re: Saints Draft Days Official Thread
 

It may include a player - Larry Walford.

Re: Saints Draft Days Official Thread
 

Where did you hear? Wonder if we can trade them stills again

Re: Saints Draft Days Official Thread
 

Sports radio up here in Cleveland. I don't know if they were in contact with the Browns. But the talk right now is that Saints are in talks with Miami. Bengals are interested in trading down but no word if the Saints have been in touch with them.

Re: Saints Draft Days Official Thread
 

That would be excellent. Less draft pick compensation we have to give up the better.

Re: Saints Draft Days Official Thread
 

I don't see this anywhere yet nor confirmed but we also maybe sending our 4th and Walford to move up.

I am good with it if we get another possible starter.

Re: Saints Draft Days Official Thread
 

Or kamara

Re: Saints Draft Days Official Thread
 

Re: Saints Draft Days Official Thread
 

No... talk has it its Walford and a 4th.

Kamara is a 1st rounder plus. We can't give him up and expect to win a SB this year.

Re: Saints Draft Days Official Thread
 

Kamara is whatever Miami is willing to give

Yeah I don't see us moving him, but it is possible. Wouldn't be the end of us

Re: Saints Draft Days Official Thread
 

Re: Saints Draft Days Official Thread
 

We are not trading Kamara. As stated before it's Warford and our 4th for Miami's 2nd

Re: Saints Draft Days Official Thread
 

I wouldn't be that shocked if they moved Kamara if they could get Taylor. Especially if they are not planning to sign him to a extension. Reports yesterday they had a high first round grade on him.

Do t think it happens, just wouldn't be shocked

Re: Saints Draft Days Official Thread
 

Re: Saints Draft Days Official Thread
 

Bengals take Tee Higgins. Better value there than in the first round. Good move.

Re: Saints Draft Days Official Thread
 

Just going to end up with nothing for him like 22?

Re: Saints Draft Days Official Thread
 

Re: Saints Draft Days Official Thread
 

Man, Pittman will be an excellent complement to TY Hilton and Parris Campbell in Indy. Big body X receiver to go with the smaller fast guys.

Re: Saints Draft Days Official Thread
 

It's the same every year, Payton has this belief that WR can be left until after the draft.

Giants need an edge rusher here in the worst way.

Re: Saints Draft Days Official Thread
 

Re: Saints Draft Days Official Thread
 

TV two picks behind now

Just hurry it up
