Like it or not we are one good draft haul away from being viable again and this is the draft to do it in. Still not sold Carr will be our QB this year though

Who other than Carr could be QB for us this year? Rattler and Haener both look like deer in the headlights out there. Besides Aaron Rodgers there's no veteran free agent that's as good as Carr. I don't see a rookie that could step in given the team is still in a win now mode. You have anyone in mind beating him out?

The Saints should be in a rebuild mode.

You can't rebuild when you keep missing on draft picks. Its what forces us to add free-agents instead of rebuilding through the draft. It also drives up our salary cap number.

We have too many players on 2nd and 3rd contracts. We need to start hitting on the cheaper rookies. Only then can we rebuild with cheaper younger players.

And some of the players we hit on we let go because of I assume lack of quality coaching to develop them or bad scheme fit, or possibly both, just to watch them go on to be great players for other teams.

I’m hoping for better draft results with this coaching staff we have in place. And please pick a scheme and draft players to fit it.

Again, Jeff Ireland’s name doesn’t come up enough.

Outside of 2017, his draft team has done a meh job.

The only way this franchise is going to improve is by drafting better.
