According to a report at CBSSportsline.com, the Saints are willing to trade left tackle Jammal Brown to the Rams in order to move up to the No. 2 pick and select LSU DT Glenn Dorsey.
Brown, who has 43 starts in his three seasons in the league, is considered one of the better young tackles in the game, although his play dropped off some in 2007.
Brown went to the Pro Bowl in 2006 as a second-year player and was named to the All-Pro team. The decision to include Brown in trade talks shows the seriousness of the Saints and their want for Dorsey.To get to Dorsey, the Saints would likely have to work out a deal with the St. Louis Rams to get the second pick. The Rams also like Dorsey, so it might be tough to pry that pick away. The Saints own the 10th pick in the first round, and Dorsey would certainly be gone by then.
The Rams are in a great position at No. 2 because they have so many options. They could stay at where they’re at and land a top defensive lineman like Dorsey or Chris Long, or they could trade with the Saints, pick up more picks and still fill a need at No. 10.
As for the Saints, it’s mind-boggling why they would want to trade a former Pro Bowl left tackle just to move up. Dorsey should be a hell of a player, but left tackles don’t just fall of trees – especially ones that were in the Pro Bowl just two years ago.
