Daniel Jeremiah - “Everyone is moving up for an OT”

New theory.

Smoke: Saints need an OT early and are actively trying to trade up for one.

Reality: Saints want to trade up for someone else entirely and don't want to compete with other teams for said player. Other teams know the Saints are making calls but will relax, thinking "That's ok, they just want an OT and we don't. No need to get ahead of them wherever they land in the draft order." And then, Yoink! Loomis stuns us all with a DT/CB/DE pick instead...

Is it draft day yet?
