Unless theres great value, why not just trade back at least a few spots every single year?

Yes, but there's only one coach/GM who appears to understand this, and he wins 14 games a year...yet people still give him future picks every single draft.

true, otah was a good pick.

i think in general it's just a bad strategy. i would be really annoyed if my team did it basically every year. i've managed to justify it in this case for the saints but i would be upset if they made those kind of moves consistently.

I like Brooks Reed.

I'm happy with either one. Don't know who else I would be happy with. Bowers so talented but he could be Justin Harrell pt2 and he doesn't really have a place in the 3-4. (ROLB and straight pass rushing every play I guess?)

Heyward is good here. I like it. Likely going DB in the 2nd. Good start.
