Potential trade down partner - New Orleans Saints

[Totally_Red]

It may be difficult to trade down this year but if it is possible, I think the Saints may be the most likely possibility. They have a history of being willing to trade up and have plenty of draft capital [2 three's this year and 3 compensatory picks including a three next year]. And we know the Cardinals are sorely lacking in mid-draft picks this year.

To go down 12 picks, the draft compensation chart says it would cost the Saints their second round pick and one of their third round compensatory picks. But I'd rather take one of the three's this year and their 2022 second round pick which potentially could be higher that this year's second. With all the one year contracts, the Cardinals should start accumulating 2022 draft capital IMO.

I'm not really thrilled with what potentially will be available at #16. But will there be someone there that interests the Saints?

They going top 10

They going top 10

Yes, if the rumors are true, Saints are trying to get into the top 10.

Yes, if the rumors are true, Saints are trying to get into the top 10.

Could be a scenario where they have to go up to 16 first to get to the top 10...

How about Pittsburgh? Swap 1’s and get their 2nd. The want Harris.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Steelers take Najee round 1 the press will be "What a genius move of a franchise returning to the days of Jerome Bettis and Franco Harris"

Cardinals take Najee round 1 the press will be "The Cardinals continue to live in the past that RBs actually matter. The David Johnson days are over"

 

[Chopper0080]

Should be a couple options this year if we really want to go back. We may not get more than a 3rd but Saints, Jags, Jets, Steelers, Dolphins, Chargers, and several other teams will be looking to get certain players at certain positions. 16 is still a decent spot for those teams and their needs.

this is 1000% accurate

I would like something like this:

Jacksonville Trades #25 and #45 and #65

Cardinals Trade #16 and #49

Jags move up for a stud WR that drops to pair with Trevor

Problem is, I think they would want to move up to take a player we want, like Horn. In that case, I'd stay put and take Horn.

How about Pittsburgh? Swap 1’s and get their 2nd. The want Harris.

In a heartbeat, if a player I really want isn't there. Don't see it happening, though. Pittsburgh has lots of holes and won't trade their #2.

 

[slanidrac16]

For us to trade down there has to be a player somebody wants. That could be a qb, rb or oline. It would also have to be a player we do not desire.

I think 1 or 2 of the qbs will slip. A guy like AVT could really entice the Steelers to move up since they lost 3 starters.

They want a CB,

and this is what I am talking about. Teams are going to be hesitant to trade 2022 picks and those with a bunch of picks will likely look to package a couple to get certain players they really like.

The OL class is deep but maybe the Bengals, Dolphins, Jags, and Jets like the second tier more than the third tier and they will give up a 2nd or 3rd to get to 16. RB same. Maybe a team will want the top EDGE player on their board. Not necessarily blockbuster moves but moves to get to players they are more comfortable with.

 

[Chopper0080]

They want a CB,

Agreed. Want to get ahead of Dallas and Philly.

True but that necessitates is trading the 16 before seeing what falls to us. I’d hate to trade out and waddle shockingly falls to 16.

If a stud receiver drops I say we just pick him.

A stud WR for Jacksonville not for us, Keim put the bar pretty high

I’ve been thinking Cleveland would be a great trade down partner.

Trade down with Ravens....16 for 27/31

Trade down with Ravens....16 for 27/31

Very reminiscent of the 2003 Suggs for Skillet Hands/Calvin Pace fiasco...

Difference is this draft is MUCH deeper.
We could potentially get Najee and Moore with 27/31.

Yuck

Just remembering that draft makes me sick

At least we got Boldin...after including a trade BACK in the round we took him, AND throwing in a 4th-rounder to boot
