• They like their roster & doubt 8 rooks can make their team, so their Day 3 picks are expendable.

I can easily see this logic.

And hence comes the factor called luck. To make it to Super Bowls, and to win them, you need FAR more than talent and great coaching. You need everything else to fall your way. One factor is ease of schedule. The Patriots had that down pat (pardon the pun). You get a bye into the playoffs every year and you should win a few.

In a one and done "tournament" (as you enjoy labeling it) the best team doesn't always win. You need an incredible number of breaks to go your way. But one thing for certain, if you don't make it to the playoffs to begin with you have no chance.

When your expectations are all or nothing when it comes to the NFL you are going to be disappointed.

I guess that's the major difference between the two of us when it comes to the Saints. I relish in the journey. You appear to only be satisfied with the final destination.

C'est la vie.

2021 NFL Draft: Saints not standing still, reportedly looking to trade up, possibly into top 10

So let’s say the big trade up is for Surtain or Horn... How would y’all feel?
