It seems that most of us on here have a couple of different ideas on where the Saints should go in the draft. So, let's do this:
List your top 3 choices for where the Saints are at #14. If it includes trading down or staying put and selecting whoever, put it.

I'd love a trade down, but stuck at 14, I'd say go:
Tackle: if Smith or Oher were to slip to us and we can't get a taker for the pick, take them, great value, and a huge upgrade
DB: Malcolm Jenkins or Vontae Davis
If we trade down, someone like Louis Delmas would probably still be around.
who has 2 second rounders that might be interested in trading up? I'd love to add Alex Mack and some defensive help in the early second round.

1 trade down (and pick someone like sean smith or louis delmas up in the late first, early second or alex mack)
2 malcolm jenkins
3 take one of the four OT's if they fall to us
cushing and wells are choices that i can live with as well but dont make me happy.

It is that scenario I can see taking place that allows us to trade down.

Just from what I've seen so far, Malcolm Jenkins and trade down seem to be the common factor. I'll admit, I'll be a bit upset if we don't trade down. We received zero compensatory picks.

Trading down has little to no chance of happening imo. The only thing I can see is if one of the top OTs or QBs are still on the board.

If Sanchez is still on the board at 14, could the Lions maybe try to move from 20 to 14 to grab him?

If they don't take Stafford at #1, that is a very good possibility.

With the 14th pick the Saints select.... (v2.0)
Let's have a new poll. Who do you think we will take at #14? Not who you want us to take, but who you actually think we will take.
(Trade down is not an option)

I voted malcolm jenkins. I feel he, wells and oher are the only ones with good value at 14 and oher doesnt really fill a need with the resigning of stinchcomb. And power running backs can be gotten in the fourth.
with regards to the rest
true cornerbacks are not a need: exit davis, butler
reaches: exit matthews & moreno
and you dont draft a lb in the first who is not a 3 down linebacker and maybin doesnt really have a position in our defensive system. to light for a DEnd and to slow for an outside linebacker.

Trade down not being an option, I go with Jenkins.

Malcolm Jenkins if he's available. My second choice is Beanie Wells.

Doesn't seem like a whole lot of teams are keying on Malcolm Jenkins to be honest, maybe it is just smoke and mirrors, but it seems like he's going to be there, which is outrageous. I honestly think he's going to make a terrific CB.
Sanchez or Oher/Smith still on the board could net us a trade down though, someone will try and jump the Jets/Bucs etc to get to a QB for sure I'd think....
I'd be happy trading the first pick all the way down into the second round and stockpiling a few picks.
Picking Louis Delmas very late in the first, or early in the second, and having 2nd/3rd rounders would be really nice.

I discussed that very issue a few weeks ago and stand by it being the most likely scenario possible.

I say Jenkins as well. If he's gone..a linebacker. I don't have any favorite in particular tbh, so I'll say Clay Matthews

I'd be okay with us drafting matthews but not at 14, you dont become a great team by reaching for players. Besides that at the moment i think matthews is one of the more overrated prospects in this draft. In my book he is a 30th-45th pick guy and you can bet he'll be gone by then
