Trading up this year would not in my opinion address several areas of concern for the Saints. Trading back would be the better option.
1) Replacing older players with youngers players possibly reducing injuries and increasing productivity;
2) Reducing the cap hit over time;
3) Reducing the investment in this year's cap on high round playesrs;
4) Having more draft picks in the front end of the draft to fill areas of need.

Both can be true, though. I do not want us to trade up this year (nor do I want us to trade up most years), however, it is exciting and does show that they’re doing what it takes to get their guy.

When it works out, it’s amazing. No one cares what KC gave up to get Mahommes but we all know what we gave up for Davenport lol. The knife cuts both ways, but you can’t say it doesn’t make things more exciting.

Hayball quietly led the NFL in IN20 punts as a rookie last season. But his yards averages were bottom 5 in the league. We’ll need more punter competition in camp.

Not sure we should spend a draft pick on one, but we could absolutely use a punter. The Aussie kickers are accurate, but Hayball just doesn’t have that oomph on his kicks, and the opposition starting within its own 25 when we are punting from within our own 25 is extremely useful and something we’ve been missing.

Good stuff

I really like Dylan Sampson in the 3rd and Nazir Stackhouse on day 3.

Have read a little about Armstrong and he’s intriguing at that size and potential value.

Like all 3 guys

The thing that worries me about Nazir Stackhouse is that his name is a typo and autocorrect disaster waiting to happen.
 
Seems like they’re getting a head start on UDFAs.

Most of the guys last couple days are projected to be late round picks or UDFAs.

Tough to spend a first on a DB with character issues, played versus a lower level of competition, and is coming off a brutal ACL injury.

Im a fan of his but sheesh that's a huge gamble for anyone.

What are the character issues?

IIRC the reason he had to go the JUCO to Eastern Carolina route was due to him being a big headache in school. Grades / absences disqualified him from going D1.

Could be remembering wrong so don't kill me on it.

Also been a lot of time so i'm sure he's matured. But again a guy couldn't even manage to pass class to go D1? What happens when you give him millions of dollars?

Also im not agains taking him at 40 either. I believe his interviews will be really important to his draft stock. Ceiling is DRC.
