With nearly a week left before the NFL draft, I’ve started attempting to put the pieces together to figure out what the Saints may do on Thursday Night in Arlington, TX.
The first thing we need to make known is that the Saints during Sean Payton’s tenure have moved up a whopping 13 times to draft a player they’ve targeted. In that same time span, they’ve only traded back a total of 3 times — and they haven’t done so since 2007.
So, what gives? Trading back and acquiring more tickets, err picks, gives you more chances to win the lottery, err draft, right?
