Trade back to acquire a 2026 1st rounder or more 2025 picks
I think with how they've handled the roster so far shows that our coaching staff and front office are focused on building the 2025 team. So I can't see them trading away this year's first for next year's first.
As for the thought that the "Saints don't trade back". This has been true for the Payton regime and the DA regime which was really a failed spin-off of the Payton regime. A new head coach and staff are
calling the shots now. He's a first year head coach going into his first draft, so who knows? There's no history to draw conclusions from.
Also, for SP's entire tenure here, we had an elite QB and most years we had a loaded and deep roster, so we were more likely to trade up to target a player we hoped would be the piece that got us over
the hump. I think if SP was still here, with so many positions that need to be upgraded, he'd be more agreeable to trade back. Get two upgrades for one pick instead of 1 "potential" elite player from
two or more picks.
Add to that the rumors that we had a trade back deal with the Rams lined up if the Raiders hadn't took Bowers ahead of us. Trading back is on the table and I think Moore and company would want
those picks immediately. Since we're already in "build now" mode, might as well play it all the way out.
