re: Saints tried to trade up for... Penix

How exactly does he know who a team was attempting to trade up for? I can buy those teams called about trading up, but why would they tell the other team who they were trading up for? Nonsense if you ask me

I think that's a lot more common than what fans think.
Why wouldn't the team trading down ask?

Why would the trading team be honest if they answered. If the trade up team is honest, they tip their hand for later picks
ETA... if saints called to get penix. The team with the pick could call a qb needy team and say saints are wanting penix... you better give us more

Yeah, a 26 year old first year starter in 2026 would have been awesome.

Reputation for future deals. If you lie, you're going to decrease the future talks you have.

This makes no sense.

why do you think the Vikings traded up 1 pick?
*ETA: sorry Vikings was the team I meant

We'll just disagree. I don't think for a second GMs are honest with each other about who they're picking. If they are, they're idiots

Again, why did the Vikings spend resources to trade up 1 spot to a team who had no need for QB? You think they were told something or did it for shits and giggles?

Bc everyone knew the broncos and Vikings wanted qb. Vikings didn't want Broncos to go first.

This makes much more sense... tweet this, and I'll give you something later

There was war room videos like last year of the some team doing draft day trades and the GM straight up asked who they were trading up for to ensure it wasn't the player they were targeting.
I imagine it's extremely common to be transparent during a trade.

Because if they weren't they'd ruin their integrity and that would be the end of teams trading with that GM

That seems dumb to me. Saints call about penix. Team with pick calls 3 qb needy teams to run up the price.
Posted on 4/26/24 at 9:36 am to LSUZombie
And the integrity is paid back by calling another team to get more for said player
ETA... and Palmer scooped everyone on this. I'm sure with at least 4 teams involved (3 trying to trade up), Palmer is the only one with this info

It is odd that the Vikings would give up a 4th & 5th to move up 1 spot and get a 6th unless they were tipped off. Especially if they were getting calls from Denver basically assuring them that both teams were leaning QB and their OT was probably save to fall to 12 if they did trade with Denver
Posted on 4/26/24 at 9:41 am to Weekend Warrior79
Common sense tells you that Denver would rather go ahead of Vikings when both are desparate for a qb. If Vikings wait, they know Denver will try.

A random reporter from Denver has saints sources? Doubt it.

Either that or we’re doing Terry Fontenot a solid by telling some reporters we were interested in penix so Fontenot can try to defend drafting him.
See, I can play that what-if game too!
