The only "upside" is trying to create a deflection to serve other purposes. Be it trying to dissuade teams from attempting to trade up ahead of you to take a WR when you know you want to take a WR. Or, trying to convince someone who wants something other than a WR to trade with you so you can trade back.

What would be the incentive for the Saints to do this even if it were true?

I like some receivers in the 2nd. But I like Tate being a safe choice for this franchise.

I would take Bell in the second if he's there but I kind of hope we move back up into the late first and nab Denzel Boston.

This aged well. Spend our first on a receiver and then picked two more later in the draft….

HAHA, great bump.

Maybe that guys source was a specific agent, and the call with the Saints went like this.
Agent: Hey Loomis, how do you like my guy in the top 10.
Loomis: Who? No, we won't be taking him at 8.

Agent calls Pauline, Saints aren't taking a WR at 8

This is so contradictory. Having to spend big money to keep Olave is exactly why the Saints would want to get cheap WR via the draft.
