Where there's smoke there's fire.

That my friend would turn Saintsreport completely on it's head. lol

Some logic to it. If Saints stay pat and pick the QB "THEY" love (and he works out) and we still get arguably the best "healthy" WR in the class... cheers!

Another logical strategy (if we love Ridder) would be to trade one of those picks for a late 1st and mid-2nd round pick. I think we could get Ridder in the 2nd, but with a QB... You want that 5th year. So Wilson (at 16), Ridder (late first), and 2 out of OT, S, RB, TE, DL, or another WR with the (2) 2nd round picks. THAT would be outstanding.

And with Ireland involved, I think having 5 picks in the top 120 is the best chance of having another 2017-like draft haul.

I'm not sure teams really care about the 5th year for QBs these days. I know that used to be the conventional way to do it, but it seems like guys are either getting new big deals before their 5th year because they are really good, or teams are ready to move on to try another QB before the 5th year.
