If we were to trade up in the draft come draft day, what/who would you want us to draft?

IF it were going to happen, I would hope its for Sammy Watkins (or Mike Evans if we're not trading up as far).

I expect this is the majority answer you will receive.

I pray they don't trade up. It just really hasn't worked in the Saints favor to do so in the first round

The only way I would want to trade up is if we needed a T. However, it seems to be Armstead's job now so just stay put. If the team were to move up, it'd be for two players in my mind, Sammy Watkins from Clemson or Darqueeze Dennard from Michigan State.

Way too early for me to even have a clue. There will be a lot of changes to the perceptions of draft stock come draft time.

Anthony Barr or Marqise Lee I'm not sure Off or Def, I would want a top CB but there are no superstars to me.

Nah, I'm going to enjoy the conference championship games this weekend. And I'm going to enjoy watching the Super Bowl get snowed out in a couple of weeks.

Sammy Watkins is the guy you trade up to get.

He's the only one worth trading up to get.

WRs picked in the first round fail waaaaaaay more than they succeed. From 2000-2012 there have been 52 WRs taken in the 1st round. I bet there are less than 15 that actually panned out as actually worth that 1st round pick. That has to be one of the worst productions from any position. Are Watkins or Evans really a can't miss like Dez Bryant, AJ Green, or Julio Jones?

With Strief and Brown being free agents give me Jake Matthews.

Watkins is absolutely on par with Bryant, Jones and Green. Only Green was a better prospect coming out of college. People have no clue how good Sammy is going to be in the NFL.

When an uber-competitive coach like Urban Meyer decides it's more advantageous for his team to literally give Sammy Watkins a 10 yard catch every single play, there's not a more insane compliment you can give a player. I know Ohio State's secondary isn't elite, but you never saw him give that kind of respect to Julio or Green.

He plays as physical as Julio, is faster and has better hands. He's going to be all-time.

Yeah I'd much rather Evans over Watkins if given the opportunity. I want the big bodied wr more than the deep threat/burner. I think Watkins will be similar wr to Roddy White. Hopefully he works on his route running.

Honestly I'd rather stay where we are/move up just a couple spots and grab matthews/Benjamin.

Kelvin Benjamin or Mike Evans. Both WRs made their respective QBs look much better than they were at times. I think Benjamin is a little quicker, and probably a little better route runner than Evans. But Evans has a little more bulkiness to him, which may serve him better in the NFL. Given the choice I think I would go with Benjamin, and we may not even have to trade up at all to get him...Depending on the combine drills.
