The Saints had no intention on trading up

WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!

they were desperate to trade up but no one, nobody wanted to trade down to the 28th pick

the saints would have had to give up everything they had to do it and even then it was a hard sell

truth of the matter is picks 25-32 are almost impossible to trade because players worth trading for arent there at those picks and any team making the trade is pretty much agreeing to pick from the leftovers at those spots.

there are documented reports the saints were ringing the phones off the hooks with around 7-8 teams trying to make a move and no one was interested, but the saints were in fact desperately trying hard to trade up or down, there just wasnt anyone interested
