Glad we got a 1st at least.

OFF THE BENCH? OUT OF THE HOT TUB? PERFECT TIMING!

Re: Payton goes to the Broncos!
 

Yup. I was concerned about that. At least a 2023 1st.

Re: Payton goes to the Broncos!
 

Oof - yeah glad it's over but the 2024 picks involved make me nervous. If Denver balls out next season and we have a lousy year, those picks will be close to each other and we'll all be punching the air. Should have came away with something additional for this draft, like a 4th or 5th rounder. Doesn't seem like a lot more to ask.

I get that we weren't going to get anything close to the Gruden trade which was a total man-crush and overpay on the Bucs part. But I think we could've gotten a bit more. We're going to need to make this draft count.

Re: Payton goes to the Broncos!
 

Yeah. Like I was saying all along, the Saints had very little leverage. They were limited to the team Payton picked. The team he picked had several other choices that wouldn't have cost them any picks. We did well to get what we did.

Re: Payton goes to the Broncos!
 

Saints deal Sean Payton to the Denver Broncos for a 7th round pick.

That’s what the headline would be if the Saints had no to little leverage. Let that resonate with you over time and one of these days, you’ll get it.

We got bluffed IMO. It’s not a horrible deal, but we did not extract maximum value in fear of getting nothing back in return.

Oh Boy, well good for him. QB in the first round or what?

Re: Payton goes to the Broncos!
 

Done. Now on to the offseason.

Re: Payton goes to the Broncos!
 

Why is it everyone else feels we got too much for a coach? Only people that think we got hosed is unsurprisingly a handful of Saints fans. You do the math.

Re: Payton goes to the Broncos!
 

Right there with you, shawnky. We got a fair value.
