    What do you think since they signed Greer? How do they draft?

    Given that there's no MUST have safety on the board for 14, I'd say go with the best player available, or trade down if they can find a taker.

    If we don't have a must have player at 14, trade down and get a 2nd round pick out of it.

    We need RB and OLB in our first 2 picks.

    Beanie Wells could be available at 14 based on some of the mock drafts and I would be more than happy to have him. I do think he is going to get better and better.

    Yeah but come on, not at 14?

    That's a joke.

    He's low low first round, might even fall to the 2nd round.

    Please tell me the Saints won't be this stupid.

    Trade down, get (hopefully) an early 2nd round to go with a later first round and get a OLB and RB.

    Definitely would like the Saints to trade down and get a later first round pick and pick up a 2nd or 3rd also but the problem with trading down is there has to be a team that wants your pick and willing to give you what you feel that pick is worth.Talking about trading down easy but getting it done is another.

    Only person I can think of is Mike McKenzie who name came up before about moving to FS. Also it seems Jenkins doesnt want to move to FS which IMO is the (not a word) funner position because you get the roam more and have more chances at interceptions. Saints should be able to sell the Chance to win a Super Bowl with Sharper and bring him in as a short term fix
