From the pre draft conference. Where they never really say anything noteworthy

Mickey Loomis Says Teams Have Contacted Saints About Moving Up


"We had some calls about moving down, but we just felt like the player we wanted at 11 outweighed the package of picks. With that being said, does anyone have any questions about our draft pick at 11, Joshua Dobbs?"

Do you guys see Foster acclimating to the NFL well?

It would not surprise me if more of those calls were about teams moving up to #32 to pick up that 5th contract year.

Did Loomis just assume someone's gender?

Tiger Jay hit it on the nose....I think QB's will slide a bit making 11 a hot spot to get someone before Cleveland does.

we kind of may not want cleveland to trade up from 12 spot.

Correct. 11 only holds trade weight if Cleveland stays at 12.

Someone is gonna trade with us for that pick so they can snag either Kizer, Webb, or Mixon.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry. I really, really hope they consider moving down if the situation calls for it. But we all know it's very unlikely.

He prob had a seizure at the notion of moving down. We'll prob end up having two top 100 picks in the end knowing Loomis

I think we can all agree #11 is a tricky spot where the players you look for on defense "aren't really something to high 5 over but your still ok with" and trading down is the smartest play and create better value then picking, by trading down for more picks. it all depends so damn much on a player we really like falling down rather then loving the idea of picking who we think will be there at 11.

it wouldnt shock me at all if they traded up to get adams, hooker, or Thomas, all depends on if any are still there after the top 5 picks, but if that's not how it plays out, then I think I would prefer them to trade down into the 20's and get an extra 2nd rounder out of it rather then go BPA and draft a player only marginally better then those you can get with picking in the 20's

this draft just feels like the picks from 11-19 are going to be seen as the same talent level players as the 20-32 picks are so where is the value in not moving down for more picks if a team wants to pick a QB ahead of the browns
