How close was it between Beenie and Malcolm?
Sounds like Payton agreed to go for help on D first as a welcome gift to Double-G

Heard on WWL
on the 10 o’clock news on ch 4 and on WWL radio that they put next years first round pick out to try and get back into the first round to take Beenie wells, but no one was interested enough to take them up on the offer.
Found this
in writing:
The Saints didn’t have a second-round pick, but they attempted to trade back into the opening round when Jenkins’ Buckeye teammate, Chris “Beanie” Wells, kept sliding.
“He was the back that we liked,” Payton acknowledged. “Because he lasted the way he did, we thought there was value with that pick.”
But the Saints couldn’t finalize a deal with the Patriots to move up before Wells was chosen by the NFC champion Arizona Cardinals at No. 31.

GAHHH
I guess I should have clicked on the headline and read the story instead of posting after just reading the headline.
Glad you did.
I was too lazy to “quoteblock” anyway.
At least, that was a whole different link. Not like Dave, whom we’ll spare because of his bachelor festivities, that put up stuff already posted!!
SB minus just a D above average.
