Loomis news conference. Most important thing he said, imo

Wouldn’t take much notice of that, he’s saying what you’d expect him to say. He’s not going to say anything else.

It’s a pretty simple trade anyway, Payton will pick his team and Loomis will negotiate something in the region of a first (not in the top 10) and a third.
So what if the team Payton wants to coach is a team who's 1st round pick is in the top 10, so what happens then? It's actually not that simple. You, like several other posters here, think you've got it all figure out and you keep pushing this narrative that there's no way the Saints will land a high 1st. You don't know that.
