quote:Well, Saints don't trade down. If any year proves it, it's this year.
tried to trade with the Saints, but were turned down, so they jumped them
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.

We didn't trade back because the 3rd or 4th player on their board was falling to them. If they trade back he won't be there later.
Plus if Lattimore did come off they were happy with Mahomes falling to them.
They figured they either get a VERY good player or the potential future of the franchise.
And the niners jumped us. We were sitting for Foster but still had him, Ramcyzk and another unnamed player on the board, all with mid first round grades.
