The Saints just lost Terron Armstead and Michael Thomas has basically been a non-factor. My gut says they're targeting a LT and a WR and think they can get them both in the teens. Think Penning and either Treylon Burks, London, or Wilson (if for some reason Wilson falls). 

It’s a big gamble on Winston then. They are going to have trouble drafting one without a first next year if Winston struggles…

TRADE: Eagles sending picks No. 16, No. 19 and No. 194 in the sixth round to the Saints in exchange for pick No. 18, No. 101 in the third round, No. 237 in the 7th round AND a 2023 first-round pick and 2024 second-round pick, per sources.

Saints now at 16, 19; Eagles at 15, 18.

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

Honestly the giants will probably be begging NO to take #5

 

picking up two additional 1’s when you already have another top 10 pick in pocket is quite the night

There was talk that the Giants really wanted to move down and would like the package to include a 1st from next year.

What if Philly uses next years 1st from the Saints to try and move up also?

There might be more action this year than people were thinking.

Philly has 2 firsts next year, they'll probably give Hurts this year to prove himself and if he's not the answer they can move up next year. They've got other issues to address this year before they really need to go gambling on another QB

I agree that is the most logical course of action for Philly, I just think it would be funny if the screwed the Saints out of  a chance of moving up.

6# trade for 15# and a 2nd round and a 3th round pick,is it suitable?

Stock up to trade up in 2023 for a QB if need be.

[pantherj]

I know why the Eagles made the trade. What the hell are the Saints doing? That 2023 1st round pick is gold.

Why? I've been told since you can't predict the future that planning for it is futile.

[saX man]

Eagles don’t think any of these QBs are better than Hurts but will have the ammo for one next year. 

Saints are willing to draft one this year.

Cuz they essentially picked up an additional 2nd and 3rd for just delaying their 1st one year…and still have 2 1sts this year

And they didn't think 3 players in the 16-19 range were all that great. Still have 2, and 2 for next year.

Why would you make any picks for picks trades in the weeks leading up to the draft before seeing who's available? This is honestly baffling.

Somehow they will come out on top for it. They always do.

Better size, played in a much more advanced system, called plays at the LOS.  He supposedly interviewed amazingly and broke down multiple offenses and defenses and blew away coaches with his knowledge

 

The real question is, how is willis a better prospect at 6 then fields would have been at 8?

He is built more like a QB than an RB and he is faster and a better passer and yet he still was a big mistake at 3 as he still isn't necessarily considered ready to be their starter. They chose an injured Jimmy G to play in the PO instead.

Calling it Saints take a QB and a WR, My guess for QB would be Pickett/Corrall/Ridder. My guess for WR would be Olave/Burks.

In this draft, they could stay with those picks and get a QB and likely a WR or LT. 

They could likely get Raiman or Penning and Corral or Howell with those picks.

Therein lies the problem.  They are going to over correct with Willis

No. They aren't. I'd be shocked if Willis goes before 20.

3 first round picks with guaranteed salaries could be difficult to manage financially. Better to have 2 + 2. That would also leave them the possibility of trading up next season if they choose.
