Gerald McCoy to the Saints?

Just to stir the pot...

And I know I shouldn't be doing this: basing speculation on a Peter King opinion. But as soon as I read this, the question "Why not the Saints?" popped into my head. Of its own accord.

Washington is left with one pick in the top 100 now (number four overall), and you can be sure it'll be on the market during draft week. Allen knows he has multiple offensive line holes to fill, so teams wanting to rise in the round to have a chance at tackles Russell Okung or Bryan Bulaga (San Francisco? Seattle? Buffalo?) might be able to do business with the 'Skins at four ... Detroit (two) now loses a possible trade-down partner, but Seattle (six) will be hearing from [Bruce] Allen about a swap.
Here's the scenario: suppose the Rams take Bradford--as expected--and the Lions forego taking Ndamukong Suh in favor of Okung or Bulaga. That leaves at least one top-tier defensive tackle available at number four. Would that be tempting enough for the Saints to pay the price for trading up? And could they offer enough when half the teams in the league will be salivating over the same possibility?
