The possibilities are endless.. (Draft picks)

Also, how about Colin Klein or kid Rodgers in the 6th or 7th?? :D

and actually, I'd like Dion Jordan at #15. Good pick

This is where I would actually like to start unloading some guys. See if we can get anything for players like Will Smith and Chris Ivory. Even if it's 4th to 7th round choices, I say why not. As for the 1st round, it really depends on how the QB's grade and who falls. If Joeckel, Fisher, nor any of the elite pass rushers fall, sure trade back then in my opinion.

I feel like people only like Jordan because mock drafts are projecting him to Saints and saying we should like him. I follow college football pretty closely and didn't really hear anything about this guy until after the season ended.

You shouldn't feel bad about saying that. I would also like Vacarro.

a coupla things on trading back-

1. First it has to be if who is on the board doesn't match up to your value estimates

2. Ya gotta have a trade partner. Sometimes you can be in prime position (say for a QB this year) or no one really wants to jump up for a particular player at your spot.

3. There must be a good outlook as to who you might get later. Sam Montgomery may not be THE perfect 3-4OB you were shooting for. But who might project into the range of the pick you get? Would you prefer trading and hope to kill 2 birds with one stone? Say NT Jenkins, as mentioned, then Alex Okafor with a 2nd picked up?

Trades are fun to speculate but so many factors go into it that I don't think it's worth our time or effort.

Question: Has Loomis ever traded back in a draft?

Finally, please anyone speculating trades please use the draft pick value chart

Another cool tool is a draft pick calculator

PS- NO team is giving anything for Will Smith, Vilma, Harper, etc. If we are talkin players potentially to be cut why would any team give anything? Well maybe a Jonathan Amaya & a 6th rder- at best. (I still think that is one of the alltime best from Loomis)

I'd go 6th for Ivory. Maybe even a 5th in the right situation.

yeah, we gotta have those 6 sacks (past 3yr avg) for for $14+million!

I loved them when they were signed. Except for Harper's, that is. I always felt Williams was the mastermind behind that one though.

At the time I thought it was too much push for Grant and Smith. Harper had good luck/timing in that it was a very weak free agent market and not strong draft class at the same time.

The Saints openly have tried to mimic the Pats in many ways. Where they have fallen short most might be this Belichick axiom: Better to let them go one contract too early than to keep them one contract too long.
