There is no coincidence that most of the playoff participants are younger than the Saints. Packers, Cowboys, BUCS, Detroit, Eagles, Niners, Ravens.
It’s a young man’s game … Unless you enjoy missing post season.

You're right K. It's a young mans game and we aren't a young team. That's mostly because of poor decisions on draft day. We trade draft picks like discards in poker on draft day to move up for a project player that takes time to develop and are left relying on late draft picks and UDFA's to fill out our backup positions.
If it wasn't for the Sean Payton trade we wouldn't have had any ammo to work with on draft day last year. We trade away too many midround picks that don't we don't get to develop and it costs us big money in free agency because we have so many holes to fill because of poor drafting.
Either that or we flat out take the wrong player on the big board when there are better players available that get picked later and play better than our draft picks.
