Draft or Trade Down

Not rain on anyone’s parade but I’ve watched every Saints draft since Loomis was promoted from Randy Mueller’s salary cap guru to General Manager and I’m pretty sure under his leadership the Saints have never traded down in the first round. If anything he’s far more likely to trade up to get the player he’s targeted. Not saying it can never happen but it’s highly unlikely given Loomis’ history.
It really is not Loomis making those trade up calls, It's what Payton and DA wanted. Loomis what just getting the players they wanted.
Also it's been widely reported that we had a deal in place to trade down with the Rams had Bowers been available when we picked, but LV took him just before us. So this " ML does not trade down" mindset is off base
