If Loomis blow the Saints opportunity to draft Arch for a reach, we need to build a statue outside the dome depicting Loomis as a junkie male prostitute flashing his goodies to attract johns.

I don't think the Saints will have the #1 overall pick next year, so they would have to trade up to get Arch. You can't count on it. Someone might want him more and then you are settling next year.

Maybe the Falcons will take Tyler Warren. They need help at TE and having a 1st round grade at TE he is a sure thing.

Don't care about Arch Manning. He shouldn't come out until 2027 anyway. How do we get Carr and his cap hit out of town is more pressing, no matter who plays QB for us this year

Oh well, I'm on to tomorrow and waiting to see how they f*** those picks up

Same. We are so slow upfront on defense. I didn’t think he was going to be there at 9. I’m tired of QBs having all day to decide what they want to do with the ball.

Kyle Pitts turned out to be a great decision in the first round

I think the Saints definitely may have the top pick. Drafting Dart or Sanders won't help, especially Dart, who is not ready as a rookie to be a standout. Carr was mediocre but without Carr we are in Titans QB territory. Then you have an injury prone offense and an aging defense.

If we could get Sanders or Dart at 40 I could be ok with it.

I would also be ok with trading out of the 2nd round and picking up more 3rd and 4th rounders or 2026 picks.

This
If you look at the mocks during the season Banks was the top OT

In 2024, he was named First Team All-SEC and won the Jacobs Blocking Trophy and the Lombardi Award, as the best lineman in college football that year. Banks was also awarded the Outland Trophy, which is awarded to the best interior lineman in college football.

No issue with this pick at all, especially if it means i don't need to see Trevor Penning again. I'll be just as happy if they take a LG in the 2/3rd round
