big Saints / Eagles trade

I am not reading this entire thread but I felt that my voice needs to be heard--even if it is repetitive.

Here is what we know:
The Giants have announced they want to trade #5.

The Saints went after Watson and still want a QB, even though they added Dalton to play behind Crablegs.

The Saints and Giants have probably worked out a deal to trade on draft day if a certain player is available.

The Saints know that the Panthers (6), Falcons (8), and Seahawks (9) are in the market.

It's a lot of moving parts but it's possible.

And if you do the math--what it cost to get the additional first rounder--then what it will cost to move up---that is a hefty price for Willis or Pickett.

Dare i say. Would the panthers consider trading with saints to get those 2 first round picks?? Lol 

If the Giants don't deal or the Panthers offer a better deal, they could to leapfrog not only Carolina, but Atlanta and Seattle as well.

seems as logical as anything.

What are the other options?

Moving up for a tackle?  seems expensive 

Some have said they have a big need at tackle and WR.  Maybe they keep both picks and try to fill both and win with Winston?  Seems really risky especially this far out.

Maybe they really like one of the QBs they expect to be there in the mid part of round 1.  This way they have 2 picks, they can draft someone like Howell or Ridder and still draft a WR or OT? Also seems risky this far out.

Depends on how you grade them.

IMO it's a move up for Pickett, he actually has quite a few similarities to Brees.  Accurate, good mechanics, can manipulate the short and intermediate game, etc...

That said, it could be for a Tackle...or they just thing the mid portion of the 1st has a lot of firepower.  Didn't they give up two 1's for Armstead 5 years ago?

I had the same thought--I see Pickett as a Saint more than I can see Willis as one--

Was actually thinking about it last night where I thought each could succeed...neither answer was Carolina.  But I think that Willis could do well in Pittsburgh, and Pickett in New Orleans.

The Saints have been pretty good in the draft for a while now, they have a plan for sure.

I agree with you on Pickett. I just hope they aren't intending on stealing him from us. I honestly believe Pickett is going to be great. He has everything he needs to be successful. I've heard he also has the "fire in the belly" like Burrow has. Which I think means he has the Moxy to be a QB in the NFL.

    • Its worse because the NFL would never allow all the teams to join the NFC East or something.  There's a firm divisional structure with a salary cap to make it competitive.
    • Practice tweets/news from today (will post videos in the next cpl of posts if there are any worthwhile): K Ryan Fitzgerald now wearing #10. QB Hendon Hooker has #12. WR Dalevon Campbell has #81. RB DeeJay Dallas was in #1 but it's currently a practice-only number as he was playing the part of Jag's RB Travis Etienne on the scout team (his real number is #20). WR Jalen Coker walked out with a compression sleeve on his left leg. Later seen on the bike. LG Damien Lewis not wearing the red practice jersey anymore, should be full go for Thursday. LT Ikem Ekwonu was at practice but not dressed out as he recovers from an appendectomy. Worked out on the sideline with Jalen Coker + RB Jonathon Brooks. WRs Tetairoa McMillan, Xavier Legette, and Hunter Renfrow were all exempt from special teams practice. Likely three starters for Thursday. OT Yosh Nijman got the first looks at LT today. During the post-practice presser, Canales said that there was a lot of good energy today and that offense won the 1-on-1s which included a 40yd throw from Bryce Young to Xavier Legette early to "set the tone" (per Canales). Also stated that Icky is currently day-to-day. Commented on having a training plan for Coker this passed offseason and that he did a great job following it (though the quad issue is one he has had in the past). Renfrow's locker is between Dalton and Hooker (left) and Young (right). Sounds like they're trying to get Renfrow on the same page as the QBs in this offense to replace AT's role as that second set of "QB eyes" on the field. Icky talked about his symptoms that led to his surgery and mentioned that his dad, a physician, was who got him to go. Won't rush himself back, but hasn't ruled out playing Sunday. Renfrow said he had others, but he was either going to play for the Panthers or not at all. Said Bryce called him during the process and that when he was released the team mentioned that the Thielen trade might be coming. Got the news while picking up a trailer at his other job. Also said that Canales told him that he didn't think that he was physically ready yet but wanted him back on the practice squad. The Coker injury changed the calculus.
    • Most things that made it good are already dead, imo. The transfer portal combined with the money makes it all a complete joke. There’s no longer any sense of school pride, at least for me. If my team does well it is in large part because they paid better guys than the next team. When I went to college, I had some basketball players living in the same apartments and they’d show up to parties sometimes. You’d see guys around and they were just normal broke college kids like you. There was comraderie and pride that these guys saw the same school you loved and wanted to be there just like you. All of that is gone. It’s pro sports now, but worse. The players aren’t there long enough to feel like you know the team. No connection, just bragging rights over who has the largest and most affluent donor base.
