re: Mayfield holding a private workout for Saints

I'd be fine with giving up this year's 27, and say a future 1st and 3-4th or something

KC gave up a 3rd last year and their 1st (22) this year to jump from 27 to 10 to take Mahomes (one spot ahead of the Saints). Maybe the Saints really have interest and are trying do the same thing KC did last season. The downside is the Saints don't have a 2nd round pick this season like KC had last season (the upside is that Kamara is the reason the Saints don't have a second round pick!). So unless there are some other moves, the Saints would be almost mortgaging the entire draft to get Mayfield (assuming they would have to give up their 3rd round pick to get him). If they make the "KC trade" then they are taking Mayfield and not picking again until #127. They also won't have a 1st rounder next season.

That is a steep price to pay, so you better be damn sure the player is worth it before writing that "check". Clearly KC believes in Mahomes. All indications are Payton did last year as well. Does he feel the same about Mayfield this year?
