It sure feels like we’re playing the waiting game until the New Orleans Saints make a trade in the 2023 NFL draft. Their decision-makers are famously impatient and aggressive in the draft, always looking to move up and get the best prospects available. Sometimes that’s worked out (like with Alvin Kamara). Sometimes it hasn’t (like with Marcus Davenport). But it shouldn’t shock anyone if Mickey Loomis starts working the phones sooner rather than later.
One trade proposal comes from Pro Football Focus analyst Brad Spielberger, who has the Saints acquiring the No. 20 pick and a seventh-rounder at No. 237 from the Seattle Seahawks in exchange for Nos. 29, 71, and next year’s fifth-round selection. And their target in this trade is Clemson Tigers defensive end Myles Murphy. Spielberger wrote:
