Bump …

KeiVarea Russell was waived today.

Jalen Dalton as well - per Nick U.

We're definitely two-deep at the boundary CB now...

Alontae Taylor is going to be the steal of the 2nd round. He has all the tools. Giving me Richard Sherman vibes, but more athletic. I can't find the type of film I want on him though.

He'd been a greater steal in the third round as well; we could have traded back, still gotten him and say a Guard, Tight End or LBer...

Can you guarantee that? We could have traded back and HOPED we got him. How does that help when they wanted him from the get go?

Winners don't hope things fall to them.

They reach out and grab them.

Maybe they tried and got no takers ...

Pick 49? You'd had suitors...

No, they didn't try and had no reason to try since they don't agree with that type of move. Loomis himself said the Saints philosophy is "quality over quantity" when asked about trading down. He mentioned their trading up some 25 times and not once trading down. He also said when they find someone they love they go and get that player.

It's hard to logically argue against that philosophy when Loomis' teams are right near the top of the list in total wins during his tenure.
