Saints are back in the top 10 draft picks after Rams loss

Saints need another big time linemen.

Need to not be players in free agency
Need to unload in the off-season.

It's time to suck for Manning.. and have him come in with an Oline that he can grow with.

🤷 it's a no brainer and a decade plus of winning football again. He's got lots of uncle input and potentially they may even QB coach OC for him who knows.

The problem is that our best players our old. We have a lot of young knock around guys but the core group is long in the tooth.

For years the Saints have found a way to scratch and claw their way out of blue chip range. Once the season is over they will catch fire and end up in the teens. Personally from here on the Ls are actually Ws. Not a popular opinion, I get it but this roster needs so many dudes. The higher we draft the better positioned we'll be in each round. Drafting in the teens does nothing but keep us in this limbo of fighting for 7-9 wins each year.

Sentiment is understood, with the feeling that getting too close to .500 means a worse draft position. But I don't really see a world where we're better than 6-11 this year when it's all said and done. Difference between 6 and 7 might be how motivated the Bucs are in that last one. Right now, I see us beating only the Giants and Raiders and losing the rest. The good teams left on the schedule -- specifically, the ones who have a decided advantage at the QB position -- have far too much stake left in 2024 to lose to us. One would think, anyway.
