What are the chances we stay with our 5 draft picks?

From what you have seen of Gettle-Magic so far...Do you think we stay pat with our picks?

I'm gonna say we trade back, pick up a 2nd or 3rd and use it to trade our 2nd rounder up into the first giving us 2 first in the 20's range where we snag Star Lotulelei (whom I think will fall) and DeAndre Hopkins.

I think we trade players to get more picks. Trading back is really hard to do.

i think the effort will be there, but we won't be the only ones trying to do it. if we do, i don't think we get much out of it. most would likely be a 3rd and maybe a 7th, but even then it's a stretch.

i can see us doing something to try and get back in the 3rd round.

smart thing to do might just be to stand pat with what we have and load up on udfas. as deep as this class is, i suspect they'll be some decent talent to fall through the cracks and we've got just the right GM to spot it.

Dude no, it's us....

I could honestly see us trade back and grab an extra 2nd IF we're lucky. Basically a team would have to really want a player the Saints would be targeting.

1st) Jonathan Cyprien S/ Florida Atlantic

2nd) Keenan Allen WR/ Cal (possibly falls due to injury) or Quinton Patton WR/ Louisiana Tech

2nd) Larry Warford OG/ Kentucky or Justin Pugh OG/ Syracuse (seems to be rising but maybe he falls???)

I think a ton of teams are going to be trying to trade down this year. Probably more so than in most drafts. This seems like a deep draft, but not very elite in terms of the top of the draft.

We're fortunate that it's particularly deep in two positions where we have a big and immediate need - WR and DT. I'd love to see us go DT/WR in the 1st and 2cd.

It's hard to trade picks at all. I'm sure we have had plans every year to trade up or down but you have to find the right partner.

So I say 70% we stay. 15% we trade down. 5% we trade up.

Maybe not this years. So many teams with multiple picks and can't use them all. Then are teams like the Rams and Minny who might fall in love with a prospect and will try and trade up to get him.

A lot.

I say we stay put

Vaccaro. Saw on NFL network the other day. One of them mocked Vaccaro to NO. A team like Cincy or even SF may wanna move up for him.
