I just don't see any way CSP(Loomis to some) picks a WR #1.
WR was not the major problem last year or this.
Rate of bust for 1st round WR's is higher than most positions in the draft.
We got a 1st round WR last year.
We have more holes in starters and depth than years past.

I'm sticking with my prediction and we trade down from the 13th.

Yeah, but also lost Graham and Stills (who was huge for us)

I just don't see any value IF everything goes accordingly of picking a defensive player at pick 13 worthy of that spot. Of course I could be wrong, but I don't see guys like Beasley being there.

I just like BPA. Seems like they Saints have stated this a few times before, not always. Another guy who would make sense in that spot is La'el Collins, regardless of "homer" or not. He is the consensus top tackle left at that spot that would be available in a position of need and importance. I am trying to find a defensive player worthy of that draft spot if the draft goes as planned. Malcolm Brown? Eh, just not sure enough on him.. Danny Shelton is a monster, but will be gone.

that was last year. this year things are much different. we have colston, cooks, and.... If one of the 3 are there, it is certainly in play. The problem with this draft is that there is no clear cut consensus on the top players outside of Williams and Winston. The rest seem to be rated all over the place when comparing different reporters' and scouts' rankings. This is why I do agree with you that trading from 13 is highly likely. This is the first draft in a long time in which the Saints' selection could be anything and is impossible to predict.

Loomis/Payton haven't done this yet and they should have several times. If the right OL or LB isn't at our spot, they absolutely should trade down and pick up picks for next year. Why next year? They will have to draft a QB next year and they'll need all the ammo they can get to move up (I'm optimistic we'll be at least a 50/50 ball club next year).
