How in the fug can the Saints move into the top 10?

I don't see it, but I guess I wouldn't be surprised.  At this point we'll be in the 2030s before they start paying the price for all the crazy black magic they've done in the last 10 years.

Hell, they only have the cap space for 1 pick anyway, might as well trade them all.

I get that everyone has their preferred player pick, but there's got to be something to Mac Jones if Nat likes him, Kyle Shanahan likes him, Rhule likes him AND got to spend time with him at the Sr. Bowl, etc., etc.. Jones wouldn't be my first choice, I want Sewell, but I'd still be stoked about the pick. If Rhule and Fitterer feel like Mac Jones is the pick after all the evaluation they've done, then LFG. Either way, I expect our draft to be strong, to be graded poorly by the pundits, and then glowingly when they do their '2021 Re-Draft' articles in 2022, lol.

But in reality my predictions are dependent on the movement around the Panthers. 

-Mac Jones falls to us he is the pick 
-Mac Jones does not fall but Sewell does, Sewell is the pick
-Neither Sewell nor Mac fall to us, Horn is the pick if we don't manage a trade down
-We do manage a trade down and go back for Slater, Waddle, or Farley

My guy has said Mac at 3 and Lance at 4, so that is the current assumption I am working on that we are either getting Sewell or Horn depending on trades.

Have you been hearing the Chargers are looking into possibly moving to 7 for Sewell?

Sewell and Jones both fall to us, we take Jones?

    • I have been on the Bech bandwagon since well before the SR Bowl.  Hoping that he would stay a hidden gem and we'd be smart enough to grab him late.  I just don't think Morgan cares as much about WR as we do
    • No one had posted in a month.  I don't think any of us were watching
    • Here is how this draft could get mind-blowingly complicated--Interesting comment about Jags floating the Jeanty idea to lure Chicago into a trade.  I have to think Ben Johnson is going to duplicate in many ways the success he had in Detroit, and I have to think their free agency was following the blueprint Carolina designed last year (one that the Saints designed before them with Brees) and they upgraded all of their interior linemen.  RT in Chicago is set; Johnson loves RT Darnell Wright.  However, at LT, Braxton Jones is coming off a December injury and is considered to be in a competition for the position this year by at least a few fans on the Bears Wire.  His PFF score, however, was solid, posting an 80+ score in pass protection and 70+ score in run blocking.  He is in his prime.  However, in some of their fan mocks, the Bears are taking a LT.  I thought they needed an Edge to play 4-3 strong side across from Sweat, but they signed Odeyingbo to a pretty big contract in March. For the Bears, in my view, it comes down to TE or Running Back. Kmet is their #1 TE and he had 474 yards in that role, which was 25th in the NFL last season for TEs.  Adding Warren would help upgrade the TE spot and give them the ability to add around an estimated 80 yards of production per game.  The Bears have D'Andre Swift at RB, but could use a RB to pair with him for a desired 2 RB attack.  So if I am Da Bears, I stay at 10 and take Warren.  If the Jags want to move on from Etienne, then they will take Jeanty. I think, if I were the Jags (with 10 picks this year) I would take Mason Graham and not try to get an 11th pick.  It is a need position, and it seems to me the only reason they are toying with the idea of moving on from Etienne is because Jeanty is on the board.  That, to me, would be a luxury pick. New GM, I think he does not get cute--they take Graham if they stay at 5.  I might say the Jags' biggest need is Corner.  #5 is too rich for Will Johnson, but remember, they have 10 picks.  could they move up with Cleveland and take Hunter, giving them a CB and WR threat?  To me, with the draft capital they have, that is the move they should make.  Cleveland then could move back to #5.  Remember, Nick Chubb is an aging (29) free agent coming off an injury--so he is gone.  With an additional second rounder, the Browns move back and take Jeanty to give Flacco a running game. The Jags pick is very interesting, but I would not be surprised to see them move up.
