You are assuming way way too much on the trade-down scenarios.

Normally the teams that walk away with picks in their pocket for following years are typically - jags, raiders type teams, ones that are rebuilding over years

we are in a win now mentality

The Patriots are the best by far at stock piling picks. They are always in win now mode. San Francisco has done a good of the same lately. As bad as the Saints have been in the early rounds and as good as they have been in the mid to late rounds following the Patriots formula seems to make sense. I'm not big on trading up or back unless the players available don't have value that matches the slot you're picking in.

Thats true, those teams do have quite a lot of picks every year but they arguably have more holes to address on their team than we do

We hardly ever have more than 7 picks in a draft and yet we always make it work, plus like danno said, if we started getting like 13 picks a draft - its likely 5 of those guys don't make the team because we are so good at finding and developing UDFA's

And since 2006, coincidentally the year Loomis and Payton teamed up, the Saints have won as many Super Bowls as those three franchises combined! That's right, how 'bout them?

Superbowls, yes...

Playoff wins? Division Titles?

All that only matters if you get to pick 32nd. Every season you don't win it all is a waste of time. Brees gets a little older, and the window closes a little more until we're comfortable with who's behind him.
