And to trade up for that? You can't tell me there's no better alternatives in the draft. I understand everything you said... BUT, outside the injuries Fairley is the most talented corner on film in this draft, he's also the most versatile. He's the only one that held up in off-man coverage of the top corners. He'd be a top 10-12 pick if healthy, I guess beggers can't be choosers. If the Saints can land a talent like him at their biggest need by moving up a few spots im all for it. They will likely still sign a veteran to start in 2021 and allow Fairley wo work his way into the starting lineup. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess nobody in their right minds would take a QB with a major injury to his throwing shoulder either, right? I'd love to see the pick work. I guess I'm just gun shy right now with that fact that we finally have some draft picks, we've drafted VERY well over the past few seasons, and the price teams are paying to move up in the first round, I'm guessing we'd burn at least 2 first round picks just to move ahead of the Titans, for a guy with a spinal column injury that has affected his hip and thigh movement, which is what makes CB great. So with our killer scouting department, we're taking their jobs right out from under them. Could be a fire, or could be a Payton smoke screen. Who knows...

JMG5 Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 If all we have to do if throw in one of our comp picks to move up and get him I'm all for it, but we should definitely look to sign a veteran to play while he gets up to speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammymvpknight Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Glazer is reporting that the Saints are attempting to trade up into the top 10. He is probably the most accurate Saints rumor mill guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's that high I hope that it would be Sewell. CB is just such a huge risk and I don't think that they are as impactful as OL. But really...I'd avoid either. The only way I'm trading up is for a QB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Armstead is injury prone, and Sewall has All-pro potential, I just don't understand giving up the necessary draft capital for a non-QB. I agree with you, only way I'm trading up is for a QB.

I agree with you, only way I'm trading up is for a QB. Maybe the draft capital is lessened if Armstead is a part of the trade. Said team gets an immediate franchise LT, although injury prone, as well as a later pick, Saints get a longterm replacement for Armstead and cut some salary.

That's an interesting idea for sure, someone who doesn't want to wait for Sewall to mature (his game I mean) maybe? I guess I'm a little weary after paying the premium to move up for Davenport. Yes he was a need and had talent, but unfortunately his injury issues have limited how much impact he could've had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
