We have half the picks that we used in the first three rounds last year and we pick later in the round as well. There will be less talent on the board but talent is still available if you do your homework. Kamara is a prime example.

We also do not have as many holes to fill ... thanks to the last two drafts and the free agent acquisitions.

We could actually move back to select a need at a more apropros spot in the draft and build depth for a title run... |

CLE receives pick #27 NO receives picks #33 and 64 |

Re: 'Different opportunity' for Saints in 2018 NFL Draft, but Mickey Loomis still hoping for gems
That is a pipe dream. That would be like hitting the lottery twice in consecutive weeks.
Let's just be happy that we hit the lottery once last year. If we can get one productive starter out of this draft, it'll likely be a win. SFIAH |

Marshon Lattimore single- handily upgraded our entire defense. Just think if we land another big fish on D @ 27. Saints were already a good team last season ... if we can stay healthy ... look out.
