What will Saints do with 2 first round picks?

What will Saints do with 2 first round picks?

The NFL Draft starts tonight, and your New Orleans Saints have two picks in tonight's first round.

Will they trade those two first round picks to move up, or stand pat and take two first round players?


"My gut feeling is, depending on what the Panthers do, and I think they'll pick a quarterback, either Pickett or Willis, I think the Saints will probably stay at 16 or 19 and hope one of those quarterbacks falls back to them later in the draft," said Voice of the Saints Mike Hoss.

Bundling picks 16 and 19 to move up to an earlier selection doesn't seem likely, he said.

"I just think it would be tough," said Hoss. "You've already given up some significant draft capital to get 16 and 19."

The Saints have a need for wide receiver and offensive line. But a lot of teams have those needs, too.

"If there is a run on O-line, and tackles, and wide receivers, they'd maybe go defensive tackle or something like that and come back to either quarterback, offensive line, and/or wide receiver at 19," said Hoss.
