Saints trade Marshon Lattimore to the Commanders

To me improving our scouting and drafting is the biggest thing they need to do. I'm not a big fan of Loomis right now, but I think he can change, stop trading up all the time, occasionally trade down, and stop kicking the can until we are a contender again. I'll be happy if he is no longer the GM, but I can live with it if he stays and adjusts the way he has been doing things. (Which he mostly has for the last 2 years.)

On the other hand, we have to improve the scouting and player evaluation. And that likely means Ireland an Parenton need to go along with bringing in new scouts.

It would also really help if our new head coach has an eye for talent
Yes we have to draft better. I think ML has shown that he is willing to trade down with the reports that we had a deal with the Rams to trade down if Bowers was there @ our pick. A lot of our picks are too soon to tell due to injury, which you really can't know before you draft them. We also have too many players that were good picks and we mis-evaluated them and let them go to other teams like Hendrickson, Baun, Ellis. That's been on the D side of the ball so that fell on DA. So evaluating players in the draft may not be bad like you think so I'm not ready to dismiss Ireland and the scouting staff
