Then on day two, New Orleans traded all four of their day three picks to select tight end Adam Trautman in the third round.

New Orleans Saints Best Player Available Philosophy Appropriate for 2020 Draft
By Ian Riise | LWOS The New Orleans Saints, like many other NFL teams, generally preach a “best player available” approach to the draft. However, the Saints have not been afraid to break from this philosophy in recent years. Last year, New Orleans traded up in the second round to pick center Erik McCoy, then traded up for defensive back C.J. Gardner-Johnson in the fourth round. In 2018, they traded away a first-round pick to move up and select edge defender Marcus Davenport 14th overall.
