It makes me wonder if Reid tried to trade with the Saints, but were turned down, so they jumped them. There was no reason for Reid to trade for the #10 pick when they could have easily traded the Saints for the #11 to get the same QB.

Well, Saints don't trade down. If any year proves it, it's this year.

Saints pick #11
#10 traded back
#12 traded back

Saints pick #32
#31 traded back
#33 was GB pick from an earlier trade back

Both Saints 1st round picks were sandwiched between trade backs (3) or a pick (33) that was a result of a trade back.

I'd have a hard time believing Saints were simply excluded from trade back conversations at #11. #32 was a different beast, but #32 is a prime trade back spot, especially considering the guy they wanted just got picked.
