I've been a Saints fan for 45 years.......

This is why I’ve espoused trading down in the draft every single year. Accumulate more picks instead of trading up and losing picks. When you have a good roster and only need a player or two to supplement it, trading up might be the way to go but not in a total rebuild which is the phase are entering.
I must admit I liked the Jim Finks approach....Needed a starter at RB in 1986. Draft four! (We end up with Mayes, Hilliard, Word, Fenerty - every one a good player) Need DB depth in 1987 draft four!....(Adams, Mack, Atkins, Cook - 3 pretty good).
If Jim had Drew Brees, we'd have won a Superbowl or two in the late 80s/90s.
