I’m inclined to think the Saints would ideally like to leave this draft w/ Bowers

I'm not really arguing for or against; good players make teams better. Every team in the league would like to have Brock Bowers and I'd be happy if he becomes a Saint.

That said, I understand the opinion that in a world where multiple positions are now making $25mil/yr not using a high draft pick on a position that the top players make $15mil/yr.

I also wouldn't pass on a superior prospect just for philosophical reasons.

I get that some positions are "valued" more by teams from a $$$ standpoint... It's obvious. Tackles make more than TEs... WRs make more than RBs... CBs make more than LBs... I get it.

From an "on the field" standpoint... I'd rather have Travis Kelce than Trent Williams... and what they get paid... they get paid.

IMO the biggest thing (position) that matters in terms of the high draft pick to pay ratio... Is at the QB position... because you get 5 years of reasonable cap, and if you pick the right QB... what you pay other positions and where you draft them becomes a lot easier to deal with.
