    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Saints | Shopping the No. 2 pickTue, 14 Mar 2006 11:09:11 -0800Jay Glazer, of FOXSports.com, reports the New Orleans Saints are now trying to trade the No. 2 pick in the NFL Draft because they no longer are in need of selecting a quarterback.</div><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>SAINTS WILL TRY TO TRADE NO. 2 PICKAs a follow-up to the report that the Saints have signed quarterback Drew Brees, Jay Glazer of FOXSports.com reports that the Saints will now attempt to trade away the No. 2 overall pick in the draft.This development contradicts rumblings we'd previously heard regarding the Saints' interest in Brees as a caddy for whomever they select in the two hole. Instead, Brees is the guy. The new Aaron Brooks. The next fleur-de-lis wearing flame-thrower in a long line that features . . . um . . . Bobby Hebert . . . Archie Manning . . . Chris Everett . . . .The Saints could swap with the Jets, allowing them to get their pick of the rookie quarterbacks. But it's not clear that the Jets would draft a quarterback in round one, given their retention of Chad Pennington and the efforts to acquire Patrick Ramsey.Other teams that might try to trade up include the Raiders, the Lions, and the Vikings.</div>

    Smart move. It would be better for them if they traded for more picks.

    With how strict the Jets have been about draft picks, I dont see any way in hell of us trading up for #2 overall. If anything, were gonna trade down...not up.

No reciever in the draft is going in the top 10, maybe not the top 15. The Skins are better off staying where they are at this point or they could possibly trade up to a top 10 pick and take a CB. I would think they would take Jimmy Williams or Tye Hill before a WR when they already have Moss as their #1 WR. There will be plenty of WR in the 2nd round for them. Maybe we take Sinorice so we have the Moss bros [​IMG]
