Re: 2020 NFL Draft: Saints Prospects
So we all know by now that the Saints will never shy away from trading future 1st or 2nd round picks to go get their guy. Is their a guy you would trade next year’s 1st rounder to go get?
For the record, I know it’s a terrible idea to trade future 1st’s for anything other than a QB, but the Saints don’t care. I’m thinking if LB Isaiah Simmons fell to 10 or lower we could make a move a la the Steelers last year for Devin Bush. I’d be ok with that. |

Re: 2020 NFL Draft: Saints Prospects
Yes, think multiple WR draft picks. No, not in the 1st and maybe not in the 4th simply because it's a deep WR class.
Unfortunately, we did use #1 pick on a WR in the last deep class. Would've helped to get 2 as we see now. |

The problem is an organizational problem of assessment and acquisition where one man has too much weight in personnel decisions... First, Saints Director of ProScouting Terry Fontenot and GM Mickey Loomis should geaux if either gave favorable reports on Ginn and Meredith; if Payton forced the moves, then why even have guys in token positions? Second, as Chris aptly pointed out earlier, we should only be trading future ones for a franchise QB, which we've had already. Moving up as many times as we've had has limited draft opportunities for WRs... Third, in the four moves mentioned for WRs, we've only hit on one, so obviously the talent evaluation process is still very flawed in the Payton Front Office... |
It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

I look at the production of Dallas Michael Gallup (taken a few picks above Tre') & often wonder if he was ever on our draft board. He's killing it. At this point, anything we get from Tre is Lagniappe. Minimal improvement 3 years in. Keep in mind Taysom was more productive at the position for 2019 . We have a lot of un drafted (Hogan, Humphrey, Carr, Butler) guys that Brees can't turn into bona fide play makers anymore. I for one will be elated if we go WR early in the draft. More weapons, more options, more problems for opposing defenses. |

Let me repeat my point - there were attempts to get that other guy, it's just the decision, process was wrong AND we didn't have the draft picks to make another (too much trading up)... |
