Trade-up scenarios make me nervous AF. Wish we could hijack the war room and make the picks, let Mickey and co. have the weekend off!

I'm eager to see what Loomis and Ireland will do without Payton's input. I actually have more confidence in the draft process without Sean than with him.

I was happy with last year’s draft and UDFA signings. We have 4 players expected to be big contributors.

Me too. I think that Ireland has made a huge difference for the Saints when it comes to drafting players.

Agreed. Look no further than last season's 2022 draft. No way the Saints land Chris Olave if SP is still in that draft room & decision-making process.

He probably had his eye on some random small college kid with a red flag medical to play DE.

See Davenport & Payton Turner. IMO both were questionable reaches on Day 1.
