3 players Saints could put on the trade block during the 2024 NFL Draft
As the NFL Draft approaches, and teams look to make moves, here are three players that could be on the trade block for the New Orleans Saints on draft night.
The New Orleans Saints haven’t been afraid to make big moves during the NFL Draft in recent years. They have shown a willingness to trade players to move up picks. In 2023, New Orleans traded tight end, Adam Trautman, to move up in the sixth round. It is possible that they could do a similar move this year. Here are three options that the Saints could put on the trade block during the NFL Draft.
3. CB Marshon Lattimore
A trade involving Marshon Lattimore has been rumored for a while now. If Lattimore is traded, his loss would immediately be felt. For this trade to happen, the Saints would need two things. First, the compensation would need to be at a level that the Saints like. They don’t have to trade Marshon Lattimore, the conflict isn’t to the point that he is asking for a trade or needs to get out. With this, the Saints can take their time to find a trade if they decide to trade him.
The second thing that the Saints would need is to feel comfortable with their depth behind Lattimore. Paulson Adebo and Alontae Taylor are both great players. You can count on them to be your first two cornerbacks if Lattimore does get traded. With the departure of Isaac Yiadom, the Saints would have to feel comfortable with the talent that they already have or the talent they could find in the draft / free agency.
With a rumor surrounding the former All-Pro cornerback for a while now, Marshon Lattimore could be on the trade block during the NFL Draft. We will have to see if something comes to fruition but no matter what, the loss of Marshon Lattimore would hurt this Saints secondary. However, if the Saints get solid compensation and feel comfortable with the talent they could get, it could be an option for them.
