I like the picks but trading down with Houston would have been even better

I mean I love Lattimore and Ramczyk seems like good value but I like this even better:

Trade with Texans get their 25 this year and 1st and 2nd next.

Wow.

At 25, take Tre White. At 32 take Ryan Ramczyk again. Is Lattimore 1st and a 2nd more than White? I'm not even an LSU home, so I'd be fine with Watt or Foster at 25 too.

Why do we refuse to trade down?

Because with the way the salary cap and the rookie wage scale are set up, teams have to build their teams in the draft, which requires picks. The Saints already have a lack of drafted players on the roster, why would they trade away more picks?

I love Tre White, but If Lattimore is healthy they're not on the same level.

Did we have that offer on the table? Were you in the war room?

Saints almost traded up Lattimore. So him falling to him was luck maybe.
