Generally speaking, you rather move up or down in the draft?

Well up would cost us picks,

Down would net us picks.

Definitely down. No one i see worth multiple picks up.

I don't want to move down. I want a game changing defensive player. I think we can get one without moving up though.

Aside from not having a lot of picks in this draft, I don't there is a big difference in talent from 1-15 where we are at. There isn't really that one player or top talent in this draft that everyone is drooling over. With the players coming in this year think it would be more beneficial to move down and acquire picks. This draft seems a stock pile players draft more than a get that one game changer type of draft.

Are you talking "generally" as a draft strategy or this year?

Because you are taking 1 of three draft options away.

This year for frisco is a great year to move up with almost too many pics in their hand.

This year is a good year for the Saints to trade down and gain much needed pics...except if a Star or jones falls then a no brainer to stay at 15.

Is it even possible to move up?

Unless they can nab one of the top two tackles, move down. Get some quality depth on defense and some mid-round O-linemen with more picks. I could care less if they drafted in the back half of the 1st... I see a lot of potential boom/busts in the first round this year, and would rather the Saints avoid the risk.

I would much rather move down if your question is presupposing staying put is not an option. This class has less guaranteed studs, but way more solid players than usual. Mayock was saying Joeckel in a normal draft would be a 10-12th pick talent, but he is the safest , most established player. Normally you see significant drop offs in the talent level around mid to later 2nd round, and everything becomes more of a gamble/wait and see approach. This year the availability of "solid players" goes all the way to the mid to late third. Can't find a reason, given the current state of our defense, that we can justify moving up. If we had just one important position to fill that would automatically improve our defense I would be for it. But, we have multiple needs, so I would rather more picks.

Down! Guys like Jamie Collins, Xavier Rhodes etc have just as much potential as anyone!

Depends on the situation a Franchise is in, and the talent available at their selection. At this point; we def need to trade down due to our lack of depth and lack of picks. I love ML, but he has been squandering picks for the last few years. It is also a major contributing factor to the cap problem.

Of course some of the draft picks lost last season and this season are due to that dick head Goddell.
