Saints general manager Mickey Loomis amassed an extra first-round pick later in this draft when he traded tight end Jimmy Graham to the Seahawks for the 31st overall pick and center Max Unger, a move that seemed to signal a changing of the guards in New Orleans. Loomis has said that in 2015 the formerly high-flying Saints will rely more on a balanced offensive attack and a better defense, and the latter is much-needed. Armstead would be a very compelling fit in Rob Ryan's defense, because he's a huge lineman (6’7”, 292 pounds) who can play multiple positions with great athleticism. He's young and raw, but as the Saints may not be competing for a division title anytime soon, it's as good a time as any to develop some seriously talented players. Armstead would certainly qualify.​

Uhh say what?

Makes just about as much sense as drafting at 13 a RB out of Alabama...

Smash, I might be wrong, but I think Danno is referring to their reasoning... cause that made no sense to me

Yeah because the Saints aren't planning to really compete this year. This gives them extra time to develop talent from this draft.

Lol! Did that guy really insinuate that?!
