Saints trading up a smokescreen?

I would be mad if the Saints FO didn't talk to everyone about every possibility. It's good to know what your options are. Just because they talk to someone doesn't mean it will happen, or necessarily that it's a "smokescreen" - it's jsut the FO doing the right thing by seeing what all of their available options are. Once they know every possibile route they can take they can make what they feel is the best decision for the franchise. Frankly I'd be mad if they came out and said "we're picking at 10 and that's that" having not explored any options. Now we may end up picking at 10 anyway, and that'll be great if that's our best option.
