We Needed This Beatdown

The real sin is how they traded away so many draft picks. Every team by default gets 7 draft picks. The Saints over the last 5 years average 5.8 picks per year while treating the cap the way a spoiled 10 year old uses their parents credit card.

The Packers over the last five years: 53 draft picks.

The Saints: 29 draft picks.

The Packers have drafted 24!!!!!!! more players than the Saints. That is more than THREE full drafts worth of players more!!!!!!

The Saints have been managed horrendously and it all starts at the very top.

Listen. There are human beings on this board, that say depth is depth. That every team loses when they get into their depth. Ignoring 'quality' depth. Ignoring the next man up being a 3rd round pick instead of a UDFA. Now, those same people propped up Dennis Allen for nearly 3 years, and honestly probably would still be defending him today.

But people need to really take a step back and realize that in this example, the Packers have drafted 24 more players in a 5 year period. That's an extra draft pick worthy player at every single position on the field, plus 2 more picks. An entire team of draft graded, drafted depth. I just fail to see how thats not, enormously easy to understand. We have poor quality starters. Old men playing multiple positions. Our best WR is a guy someone else didn't want 5 weeks ago. And nearly the entirety of our 'depth' wouldn't even be on other rosters.

And to nail down the point of how we've been conditioned to not value draft picks, there is a thread asking if we could potentially trade draft picks for Shanahan. You cant make this stuff up.

We are where we are because of Loomis. There is no other way around it. His decisions in the draft and the cap. Its all on him.
