Good Grief! The Saints are 14 point dogs in Green Bay

The Packers had 11 picks in the 2024 draft, 13 picks in 2023, 11 picks in 2022, 9 picks in 2021, and 9 picks in 2020. 53 picks over the last 5 years.

The Saints in that same time frame have made 29 picks.

They're drafting almost double the amount of players the Saints do every year.

The Eagles have drafted 40 players over the last five years, the Ravens have drafted 44 players over the last five years.

I've said it before, I'll say it again and again, the draft is just buying raffle tickets and the more tickets you have the better your odds of getting players worth keeping. All these teams everyone worships as being great drafters always show up to the draft with a plethora of picks while we're over here shocked if the Saints finish a draft with the same picks they started with and didn't give up any future picks.

Lamar Jackson 2018 draft pick 32
Jordan Love 2020 draft pick 26
Jalen Hurts 2020 draft pick 53

The Saints passed on all three when they had the opportunity.

It doesn’t matter how many picks they have unless they start using the picks wisely. They have wasted multiple picks on plenty positions including RB, but refuse to even use one premium pick on a QB. Loomis received a first round draft pick for Sean Payton, yet Payton already has a first round QB while the Saints have Derek Carr and a fifth round QB that we hope turns out to be first round talent.

Then, when they do hit on draft picks they have trouble keeping them when their contract comes up because of the salary cap strategy. The team is flat out terribly managed.
