New Orleans Saints Reportedly Trying To Pull Off Major 1st-Round Draft Day Trade (TWEET)

The New Orleans Saints hold the No. 28 pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, but the franchise appear to be up to something huge on draft day.

Jay Glazer of FOX Sports dropped the news that the team is looking to move up in the draft….like into the top-10, but it isn’t to select a quarterback.

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport added that the Saints are “doing the most groundwork” of any team to potentially trade up and have even inquired about getting into the top 10.

In a relatively quiet trade market thus far, the #Saints appear to be the team doing the most groundwork for a potential trade up. They’ve even called into the Top 10 to gauge value. For a CB? Would be a steep price, but they aren’t afraid to be bold…

The team is likely looking for defense, which means either taking Alabama’s Patrick Surtain II or South Carolina’s Jaycee Horn.
