Well the Saints always Draft BPA, so if they don't trade up and he's their BPA at 24, then they are going to take him.

Its the way they have worked the draft since 2015 when Ireland came aboard and I would argue they have had the most success out of any team in the draft since 2015.

That's seems like a ridiculous statement to make if you are not personally in charge of the Saints draft. Clearly they aren't always drafting the best player available (see Stanley Jean Baptiste). Also, even in the cases where it did work (Michael Thomas, Alvin Kamara) How do you know for certain that they thought they were drafting BPA, they may have (mistakenly) thought another player was better than Michael Thomas, but went with the MT pick because based on their situation they believed him to be a better pick than someone they believed to be a better player.
