2025 NFL Draft: Sean Payton's teams love to trade up, perhaps this year it's for Ashton Jeanty?

In an unpredictable NFL Draft, there's probably one thing we can trust: Sean Payton isn't trading down.

It's not hard to figure out the philosophy of the Denver Broncos' head coach. Nobody is more aggressive.

In Payton’s final 13 New Orleans Saints drafts, they traded up 22 times and didn’t trade back once, according to DenverBroncos.com. In Payton’s first Broncos draft he moved up for each of his first two picks: receiver Marvin Mims Jr. and cornerback Riley Moss. In his second draft Denver moved up for receiver Troy Franklin.
