Trading Down at 19?
I normally don't accept trades when I'm playing with mock drafts. But I did this time just to see how it played out.
Then I went and did a very Saintsy move and drafted OT and a Safety in round one just to burn Saintsreport to the ground.
Then I got two big WRs in round 2 with the extra second round pick I acquired. Didn't get any of the sexy WRs we all keep
talking up, but double dipped hoping one or both turn out to be 1st round quality. (Like CGM did). Then I took a do-it-all
TE from Ohio State, a very good RB to pair with Kamara, and finally a LB for 2023.
Some would say it was a waste of next year's 1st round pick to trade back with one of our two first rounders, but I disagree.
Olave was gone, Jameson is a question mark to me with the ACL tear and may not be ready until later in the season having
missed OTA's and Camp. So I traded back and ended up getting a safety which we also need, and I didn't have to take him
at #19 where he'd have been a little bit of a reach. All that and still ended up with two potential upgrades at receiver and
another at TE. The trade back allowed me to get two WRs and still cover all my other bases.
All 7 project as starters. Clark would probably have to wait until next year but would get to spend the season under D. Davis'
wing.
