NFLN is also saying the Saints are trying to get up into the 7-9 area.

That is a helluva jump up.  The only move I can recall that were comparable was the 49ers trading up for JJ Stokes after the Browns missed out on Kyle Brady, and the Julio Jones trade.  If they pull off the deal with Detroit or Carolina (both unlikely, but Carolina less likely because they are in the same division), I think that pushes down a lineman.

This one baffles me! The Saints were over the cap so much that they had to cut/trade a lot of starters. You would think they would want to keep as many draft picks as possible to have good starters at most of their positions, but now they are trying to give away draft capital in order to move up? This doesn't make sense.

Yep, on the 2 for 1 podcast he said he weight around 340 when he played and he was going to get below 320 for the draft and hopefully in the NFL.

320 lbs. is still the weight of a NT, considering he's only 6'2".
