If Mason Graham falls we'd better damn well take him.

Even with such a slam dunk of a pick, there will be many huddlers claiming it was a horrible pick and Morgan has no clue what hes doing

I think that most of the draft ups for position 8 or better will have already played out before we get to our pick. 

Could we trade back into the first round? Maybe...

I seriously doubt anyone is going to trade with us. There's no qb worth trading up for this year and I do not see a skill position player anyone would trade up for other than Jeanty should he fall to us. Even then the other team would have to be convinced NO would take him with the very next pick. I don't see that happening. 

IDK, the draft is set up for chaos with the uncertainty.

They are stuck at 8. Nobody wants a qb in the 1st except the Titans (who will regret it by the way). No qbs worthy of a 1st means no trades on draft night.

I could see us getting a good return if Jeanty is available at 8

As long as we come out it unscathed bring it on baby.

Someone would have to want to jump the Bears in that scenario. Because if he isn't selected before our pick he will go to the Bears.

Maybe we should just be hoping he falls to 8 so the Bears will try to trade up, that might be an even better scenario than trading with the Cowboys.

We're not taking Jeanty at 8, best case scenario might be Jeanty falls to 8, we swap with the Bears, they take Jeanty, Saints take a QB at 9, and then we get to pick at 10 the same player we'd have taken at 8, but pick up whatever the Bears give us to make that swap.

I think that team would be there. Jeanty is considered one of the best RB prospects in recent times.

The Saints are not taking Jeanty. They need defense and a qb. The Bears do not have to trade up because he will fall right into their lap.

I look forward to every team boasting about how the draft worked out exactly how they planned and they got exactly who they wanted from the jump.  in every single round.

But that's exactly why the Bears would need to trade up for him, because the whole league will know they plan on taking him if we pass on him, it won't be hard to bluff the Bears that we have someone else trying to trade up to take Jeanty, such as the Cowboys.

And that's even if a bluff is needed, if that scenario plays out, I guarantee we'll have trade offers for someone to try and get Jeanty anyways.

I also think it's all a moot discussion anyways, as I don't see him getting past 6.  Someone is trading up with the Jags to take him at 5 or I think he's going to the Raiders at 6.

You have no cards to bluff with. The Saints want to trade down, everyone wants to trade down. Nobody wants to trade up because they know they can just sit tight and get a good player to fill a need. If Jeanty doesn't go in the top 5 he will fall to the Bears at 10. If they pass and go OT then Dallas gets him. I think he ends up in Dallas without them trading up. I wish they would trade with us if he drops out of the top 5 but they know who will want to trade up as well as the Bears already. So you will not bluff anyone into a trade.
