If you’re a fan of the New Orleans Saints, you know that General Manager Mickey Loomis is big fan of draft day trades, but to say that he is apprehensive of trading down, might be the biggest understatement of 2019.
The Saints have not traded down in the NFL draft since 2007 when they traded with the Detroit Lions to move down eight spots from 58th to 66th in exchange for an additional fifth round pick.
On the other hand, the Saints love trading up. Since the 2007 trade with the Lions, Loomis and the Saints have traded for a draft pick (either trading up or trading future picks for a current year’s selection) 13 times.
