This is an entirely unique position that loomis single handedly put the next coach in. He should not be in the draft room at this point or even a GM, but we know that isn’t going to happen. They should find a partner to trade down, let the new coach see if he wants to do with the o and d line. When players leave the saints, the become pro bowl players, he may see something in them to keep.
Fully agree on trading down. Preferably to a team with multiple 2nds and 3rds. There might be more value there than at 9 and if we can get several picks that would go a long way to building the roster on the cheap.
