Mickey Loomis Pre-Draft Presser updates 4.22.19

When was the last time Loomis made a public comment that was insightful or even interesting? There is a notion that the Saints only trade up because of history?

I am sorry, but were I Loomis I would not be particularly proud of our 2018 draft. By my count, the Saints last year had the only fourth-round player, and one of the three or four fifth-round players, who were cut by the team that drafted them and did not land on that team's practice squad. We cut our four picks in rounds four through six last year. Check the numbers and see how few drafted players were cut. The most logical conclusion is that we drafted poorly, either because the players we picked were not very good or because the players we picked did not fit what our coaching staff was looking for.

And though the Saints were more talented than most other teams, the reason was the top two-thirds of the roster. Last year, we had limited depth in the offensive line, at running back, at tight, at wide receiver, and at cornerback.
