Philadelphia Eagles, New Orleans Saints shake up first round of 2022 NFL draft with multi-pick trade

stickman · 04-04-2022, 08:00 PM

I read an article on this that mentions that filling positions with draft picks instead of free agents will help the cap down the road.

The Saints now have 3 picks in the top 50 picks of the draft.

Loomis is no dummy. He weighs the talent in years in his determinations for making trade, it's not just a scale of the worth of what a pick is. If his selections turn out to be right, and the talent at the positions we go after is scarce next year, then it is a good trade. If the opposite is true, it's a bad one. Everything in these drafts can't just be weighed on a scale, every year is different.

Kind of early to show your hand?

Saints got the better end of that deal if you ask me

It’s so weird how the “analysts” don’t like this trade because they basically believe the Saints shouldn’t be trying to compete this year.

This is what I like most about the Saints under Loomis. They are always trying to compete every year. For the past decade and a half we have always had the chance of making the playoffs. We haven't had a single season where we were a third of the way through the season and already looking at draft positions like in the past.

I like it! Remember, there is a very good chance that Payton comes back to coaching and we restock heavily again next year. Ain't skeered!

I sure hope we don’t combine those picks to move up. I think we should stay put and grab what the draft gives us. They’ll be plenty of talent when it’s our turn.
