Look instead of moving up 2 spots in 2017 draft the Saints held their cards/picks and lost a generational QB To KC. Imagine the last 2 seasons with Brees injured and Mahomes behind him not to mention the sh*t show once Brees and then Payton retired.
One. One spot. Saints were 11. Mahomes was taken at 10. I need a beer....

Re: Ways To Approach The Draft
I'd like to see a trade for a player in the draft year. It's been awhile since
we traded a for a player on draft day. Maybe a DT/DE.

Re: Ways To Approach The Draft
The attached graphic shows that the Saints had the highest percentile of successful draft picks of all teams in the NFL between 2011 and 2019. I believe the reason it only goes through 2019 is because "success" is being determined by factors in the years subsequent to the year drafted.

Re: Ways To Approach The Draft
It is pretty clear that the average success rate of drafted NFL players is right at 50% by looking at the above graphic.

There is no arguing with our drafting strategy.
