Does Loomis avoid drafting LSU players?

I somewhat wonder if Loomis avoids bringing in LSU players. This could be on Saints board as well.

After Al Woods, I wouldn't doubt it.

That was the first one I can remember since Hilliard and Martin
Forgot about Woods I am sure Loomis doesn't argue with Peyton. If Sean wanted someone bad enough

Why would he argue with the QB of the Denver Broncos?

Everyone, on my iPhone, I accidentally gave the op a thumbs up instead of a thumbs down. I'm so sorry.

Refresh and you can change to downvote

Anyway, if Lsu averages 8 draftees per year, each nfl team, on average, would take 1 lsu player every 4 years. So the saints would be below average, but not even close to being deliberate. Looms wants to win, and he will pick whomever let's him win.

they said they would have taken Hill if he would have been there

No, they definitely do not avoid LSU players. It's just a matter of who's the best available at a position of need in a given year. For example, last year, if Vaccaro hadn't been available, the Saints likely would have taken Eric Reid, but anyone who says the should have taken Reid over Vaccaro is nuts. It's got nothing to do with the schools either one came from, Vaccaro was just the #1 safety in the draft last year no question.
I know a lot of people were surprised the Saints picked Vaccaro because everyone thought they were targeting a linebacker like Jarvis Jones, but the Saints were definitely thinking safety all the way. They were happy to let people think they were going after Jones to throw them off the scent. All teams do this. And it worked too. If it had been more obvious that the Saints were going to take a safety, the 49ers would have traded up even sooner since Vaccaro was their #1 choice. Instead, the Saints got Vaccaro without competition, and the 49ers had to trade up just to get Reid.

Were you the moron who called into Mascona's show yesterday all upset that the Saints don't draft LSU players?

I can't remember an opportunity in which taking an LSU player at a position of need during this weekend's draft would have been a good decision
