What are the odds we know who our first pick is tomorrow night. Most expect a trade down, I'm not so sure. If you think you can fix your LOT for the next 10 years do it at 21. 70/30 we keep it. I'm guessing Ballard will surprise me one way or another.

I agree if the next 10 year LT is there at 21 then take him and dont look back.

But ballard loves value and extra picks so I expect a trade down. It wouldnt surprise me to go a different direction at 21 then get LT somewhere is second round. Ballard has acknowledged that OL is deep and talented this year so....

Who the hell is Mel Kiper Jr?

Saints looking to move up in front of Titans. Ballard could add pick and move from 1.21 to 1.28 still get a LT ? :cool:

Hmm I wonder why they do. Pass rusher they want? Titans supposedly like Jenkins also.

Saints are reportedly targeting CB Caleb Farley according to the rumors. The rumors could also be from his agent trying to boost his draft stock.

Can never discount that possibility. Wonder what they would give up. If we go to 28 we probably won’t get Jenkins. Cosmi would likely be questionable. Some pass rusher/projects should still be there.

In their all trades mock draft, ESPN had speculated the price would be about 2 third round picks (New Orleans has a 3rd round comp pick this year in addition to the regular pick). Instead of getting two 3rd round picks this year, I wonder if Ballard would prefer one this year and one next year with the hope that scouting / draft preparation would be more back to normal for the 2022 draft.

Apparently the trade everyone projects there is 21 for 28, 98, and 105. I wouldn't hate it and would certainly be willing to take a chance on Dillon Radunz or Brady Christensen at LT if need be to pick up 2 3s.

Easy for you to say, your job isnt on the line.
