Wild draft trade idea

[ThibodauxSaint14]

So Ik I haven’t posted in a while, but I’ve still tried to keep up with the board when I can; so I’d like to be able to say I’m pretty aware of the state of the Saints. So with that said this is a wild trade idea.

Saints trade pick 9, pick 112, and Chris Olave to the Giants.

Giants trade pick 34, 99, 154, 2026 1st, 2027 3rd to Saints.

That gives the Saints picks 34, 40, 71, 93, 99, 131, 154, 184, 248, & 254.

It gives the Giants flexibility at the top with new bargaining chips to try to pull of the Sanders/Hunter combo. It also gives them a shot at rejuvenating Chris Olave with a new rookie qb to throw him the ball.

For the Saints it gives you 12 draft picks for a roster that desperately needs an injection of youth. Also with the 2026 1st from the Giants you could potentially be looking at a premium draft pick and possibly their choice at Manning/Nuss/Iamleava etc.

Could easily get a Deone Walker/Mason Taylor combo with 34 & 40 too.

Absolutely not, we don’t have room for 13 draft picks on this roster

I like how you think. You show Saints remaining with pick 112 but above you have it going to Giants in the trade. No problem.

 

[Tulsa Saint]

The saints would never make 13 picks.

Damn gardening

Saints need REALLY good players not a bunch of okay guys.

Top 10 pick is gold and a great opportunity to land a really good player.

Gives you flexibility to move around in the middle of the draft. Idk I was just throwing blind darts at a wall.

We are not trading Chris Olave, stop it

My only problem is I find the guys likely available at pick 9 are subpar(and that’s being kind) like I outlined in my avoid draft thread.

 

[3ParStillDriver]

That would be highway robbery unless somehow Ward, Graham, Carter, Jeanty or Warren dropped to us.

@9 is not a coveted pick this draft. The compensation cost to trade up to it is not worth the value you would get.

People need to forget "trades" in this Saints draft. Keep every darn pick. Loomis can't help self and he's why this roster is looking like it is. Remember, last year, the Saints got NOBODY on the pro bowl. We have an "OK" roster - but many on this board are still looking at thru black & gold glasses.

1st round picks are 50/50 bets, I like the idea of getting more picks and a 1st next year when we are QB shopping.

Which Madden game was this?

So one solid point is brought up. Maybe next year Saints should consider trading their first round pick TO HAVE A SHOT AT ARCH in 2027.

The key here is to figure what team needs a QB and will have a bad year in 2026.

These teams will be looking for a QB after 26
Jets
Browns
Colts when Richardson/Jones are exposed.
Raiders

And here's a surprise team that might have a losing year in 26.
Lions. They just lost their OC and DC and the rest of their division has caught up. Add in the revisionist history and how Lions are at the cellar of their division more often than not when the other teams are good. Another thing to note is Goff gets exposed in the next couple of years.

Study the team that is likely to be hit the most by lack of QB production. If not QB, then a team not likely to be good because of too many needs or coming off a playoff year due to defenses not figuring the QB out(like maybe Shedeur and Giants). We very well could get the top pick and we got the NFL's best player for the next decade.
