Very possible.

I still wonder what happens if Joe Schoen gets a call from his old buddy Dan Morgan though.

I don't think the buddy factor plays near the role that you think. At the end of the day, you're still taking the deal that you think is best for your team. Buddies or not.,

Who's to slay we'd offer a bad deal, though?

And I've seen more than one trade be influenced by who was doing the trading.

Says a lot.  Sounding like them and the Giants are planning on swinging this deal.

New Orleans is up to something.  NYG are looking to gain some draft capital and could trade down with N.O.   Not sure they'll be drafting a QB but they could be after one of the top LTs available.

Going to be in interesting 3 weeks.

They seem to be thinking a qb will fall to them and then they snag a top wr.

??? I am missing something.  Why would the Eagles want to make this trade?

I have no idea. TBH, they appear to have lost a lot of value. The Saints haven’t been a top 10 drafting team so those future picks could end up being not nearly what they expected.

At a base level you ignore the 6th/7th and it’s 2 firsts for 2 firsts, 1 2nd and a late comp 3rd where 1 first is 2023 and the second is 2024. NO is obviously risking they collapse but they’ve still got a lot of talent especially on OL and D, but Philly doesn’t seem to be getting enough. I mean if NO hits on 16 and 19, Philly probably loses big time.

I don’t know why Philly would do that trade without knowing they got good value. Only reason I can think of is that they want more ammo for next year’s QBs.

Its a little confusing, but this how it is in simple terms-

saints- 16th overall pick

iggles- 1,2,3

Yes the 1, 2, and 3 are future picks, but I would do this deal form iggles side, its a compete 1 one-sided. Like we trade 1st *AND* you give me 2 AND 3???? I take that alllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll day.

Think of this- that 1,2,3 saints gave for a unknown young player. That 1,2,3 could be traded for 99% of the league, that return is a star pro-bowl level package for a proven player.

Only way like works out for the saints, if they have a deeeep playoff run. They lost all-pro LT, all-pro S and a top 5 HC. The guy replaced HC has a worse W/L than Matt Rhule.

I think they could possibly be open to the Giants swap if a particular QB or LT slips....say they are over the moon for Neal, and Pickett...one of them slides to 5 they swap....if both are gone, they hold on and move on.

Who knows, but they certainly have a player or two they are in love with...IMO

Man, I really hope we go Tackle and not try to make up for past mistakes...although I would totally understand the rational.

I just think a bookend T to go with Moton would benefit this team for at least 4 more years.

Yeah I believe that trade to obtain another 1st round pick is to move up and like you said they clearly have their eyes on some player.  It will be interesting to see who.

Some of us have been dreaming about that sort of thing for years now.

    • We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that
    • There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel. 
    • Sounds like Veesaar is entering the draft. He could always test the waters and pull out and return but without him our big men look like a serious liability. Better do something in the portal. If they don't do something about this portal madness my days as a college sports fan are probably numbered. This bullshit of having a nearly entirely new team every season is gonna get old fast.
