New Orleans Saints for Andrus Peat and a first-round pick
New Orleans is also in need of help in the defensive secondary. It has also hosted restricted free agent Malcolm Butler in hopes that a trade can be worked out for the New England Patriots’ cornerback. Though, it looks like New England is holding firm on wanting New Orleans’ original first-round pick (11th overall) by virtue of Butler leaving via free agency (more on that here).
If that’s the case, the Saints might be better off going the cheaper route by adding a more proven (and older) veteran to the mix. This specific trade scenario would include the Saints sending their second first-round pick (32nd overall), which was acquired from New England for Brandin Cooks.
This would give Seattle two first-round picks and a potential right tackle in Peat to build with moving forward. New Orleans originally selected Peat 13th overall back in 2015 out of Stanford to play tackle. But due to the play of Zach Strief and Terron Armstead at the book-end positions, he was moved inside.
Regardless, Seattle could keep the former top-round pick inside or decide to have him play right tackle opposite Luke Joeckel. Either options could give the team a major upgrade along the offensive line. It would also enable Seattle to address cornerback with one of its two first-round picks. This trade makes a ton of sense for both sides.
