Ex Buckeye Eli Apple traded from NYG

He’s off to the Saints for a 4th and a 7th

At least he doesn't have far to travel since he was in Atlanta last night.

Yesterday Shefter was predicting a hectic pace as the trade deadline (Oct 30) approaches. Appears he may be right for a change.

Wonder if Dorsey will make any moves?

So far he seems to be full of surprises so we wait and see!

No doubt Dorsey is spending a great deal of time on his phone... as is Highsmith... as is Wolf...

But I don't see a "headline" trade happening since Dorsey seems to have made it clear that he's not parting with his most valuable draft capital.

A lesser trade? Something along the lines of a Kizer-Randall deal? Sure...

Taylor is our best bait... Jags are most in need of a season-saving QB... here is their draft class...

Round1· Pick 29 (29) Taven Bryan DT Florida
Round2· Pick 29 (61) D.j. Chark WR LSU
Round3· Pick 29 (93) Ronnie Harrison S Alabama
Round4· Pick 29 (129) Will Richardson OT N.C. State

I really liked Chark coming out of WR-U... or is LSU DB-U? Anyway... Chark is 6'3, 199# and ran a 4.34...

Richardson would be a nice throw in... raw, but talented kid who played RT very well at the college level.

Does this douse the Peterson to the Saints possibility?

In all likelihood, yes....

Almost certainly, even before this trade the Saints didn't have 1st or 3rd round pick in the 2019 draft

Agreed, I think the guy who wrote this article is smoking crack... https://saintswire.usatoday.com/2018/10/23/new-orleans-saints-trade-eli-apple-teddy-bridgewater-marcus-davenport/

Unless the Saints feel Bridgwater is the heir apparent to Brees, it will cost them their second in 2019 (leaving that draft cupboard essentialy bare) and probably the 2020 first to pry Peterson away from the Cardinals...

Sucks because Eli was a DB I would have been quite interested in.

Yes ....he is shopping some of our starters for 5th round picks

I know, me too. The move would’ve made a ton of sense for us to do, and I don’t even mind the price, ya know? Hopefully we’ve got some moves coming up, in fact, I’d almost bet on it.
