Draft Options

The Saints are finally in a position this year do take any player they really want or trade down.

Personally, I would trade down in the draft and pick up addtional picks. Say trade down to the 15th to 20th spot and aquire an addtional 2nd rounder or a 3rd rounder plus a quality player. IE trade with 1st rounders with Philly and get an extra 3rd rounder plus Lito Shepard. It's just a thought.

I would really like to see the Saints trade down in the first round so the don't have to pay top ten money, than draft Cramartie. If they trade down and get addtional picks, than they could capitalize on the quality players later in the draft IE Craig Steltz, Deven Hester, Chelves Jackson, Ali Highsmith, and the list goes on. If they could get two second rounders they could look at Curtis Lofton LB from Oklahoma, and Pat Sims DT from Auburn then look to bloster the Offence in the 3rd round. Maybe look at Mike Hart RB from Michigan or Marcus Monk WR from Arkansas.

I have three players that Payton and Micky hopefully look at really hard.
1) Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie CB
2) Craig Steltz S
3) Dexter Jackson WR/KR
The first one is obvious. So, on tape, Craig looks so much like John Lynch and Jackson is so fast, he can be the next Hester only he will put points on the scorebord for the Saints instead aginst.
