Saints propose trade to acquire first overall draft pick

The New Orleans Saints are rumored to be interested in drafting quarterback Cam Ward. With the ninth overall pick in the upcoming NFL Draft, they may not be able to select him without a trade. A proposed trade suggests the Saints could acquire the first overall pick from the Tennessee Titans. In return, the Saints would give the Titans their ninth pick, another first-round pick, a few second-round picks, and star wide receiver Chris Olave. This offer is substantial, and fans may be concerned about giving up so much for Ward. Some believe quarterback Spencer Rattler might be a better option for next season. Olave’s recent struggles, including injuries, have raised questions about his future with the team. He is eligible for a contract extension, so the Saints may choose to trade him now to avoid high costs later. To secure Ward, New Orleans may need to make a deal similar to what the Carolina Panthers did last year to move up in the draft. This indicates the Saints are serious about acquiring a franchise quarterback.
