Saints #24 + #56 could get them up to #14 or 15. What player(s) would you sacrifice the 2nd Rd pick to move up for?

I go Quinn without a doubt. Bowers if they score him well enough on the health issues. Aldon Smith if they rate him as good of a pass rusher as I do. Some of the other high end players too but those three are the ones that could have a real chance of being in that range.

Outside of Nick Fairley, I don't think there is anyone worth giving up valuable picks for in that range comparative to what we can sit back and wait and see who falls at 24.

trading back into the early 2 and picking up an extra pick should be the goal (denver, Az, buffalo, cincy, tennessee if they don't pick a qb in round 1 will all be lookingto jump back in and we hold the joker at #24 in front of seattle

Bowers or Von Miller if they fall. I'd rather keep our picks though.

Von Miller or Peterson, maybe Ingram if we don't have to give up a 2nd round and/or next year 1st

Von Miller, Patrick Peterson and M. Darieus are the only guys worth trading up for IMO and they won't be there at that point, so I say stand pat (unless you can trade back for more picks) and draft the BPA.

Aldon Smith. Robert Quinn is gonna be a good player. I would be surprised if we traded up to get him, especially since he didn't play a down last year. You know, Bowers stock is sliding and I'm wondering if maybe he slides to us #24. Thats kind of a long shot but not impossible.

At this point, maybe Quinn but that's a big maybe.

Peterson would probably be too much of a luxury for me to agree with getting rid of the 2nd round pick.

Aldon Smith is interesting because I heard someone compare him favorably to DeMarcus Ware. If you can get a outstanding pass rusher, your teams can get much better.

As for Bowers, unless he checks out clear at the Combine, I wouldn't want to draft him at #24 overall, much less trade up for him. The same goes for Fairley; doesn't anyone remember him prior to last year when he was an average DL in the SEC? Prior to this year, he had 14 tackles and 1 sack.

Right, that has been the knock on him. He had an outstanding season last year but thats really all he has to show for himself. In the national championship game, some of his best plays, he was not blocked. He has the all the tools though.

I would trade our #1, #3, and Reggie Bush to trade up high enough to get Vonn Miller.

sorry, that wouldn't be enough. Reggie has zero trade value so you're saying 1 + 3. Say he was around and able to be traded for at #10... that would take #24 + #56 + #72 valuewise. LINK

Can't trade players this year. And I think trading up in the first for a LB is a bad idea.

I would consider trading the 2nd to get Quinn. If we were to move up, I'd prefer it to be our latter 3rd rounder to jump TB for a DE we like. Quinn/Bowers/Kerrigan look like the best to me that would certainly make it worth it. The other guys that are all bunched together, I might just sit.

This is the key!! Seattle needs a quarterback. And if teams behind Seattle fear Seattle taking their quarterback, there will be movement. The Saints front office is smart and could get a hell of a deal. Look what Denver gave up for Tebow. I know it was stupid, but teams fall in love with certain players.

at 14 or 15 I'd say 0% chance of Miller being around

chock full of 2nd or 3rd Rd LBs that could potentially start
