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.

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.
