Detellier On Draft/Saints

REALCHRISM said

I do not believe that trading up or down is solely based upon the draft chart. The draft chart is constantly being altered and changed. I think the Ravens would take a fourth and be happy. They do not lose much by trading down, gain a pick and prevent a top flight defensive player from going to a division rival.

That's true. Teams don't always follow the draft pick chart as fans do. It's more of a guideline than anything. It's possible they could take a 4th...but it's also possible they could demand a 3rd. It's easy to say they wouldn't lose much by moving down....but what if a team behind us trades up with Cincy and takes the player the Ravens wanted? Is it worth a 4th to them to lose the player they wanted? Probably not.
