The NFC South is still going to be garbage next year.
We all know that the Bucs aren't going to do anything in the playoffs anyway. And let's be honest, this Saints team wasn't going to do anything in the playoffs.
Yes our draft position is going to be screwed, but the Bucs are going to be in even worse shape. Baker Mayfield isn't the answer for them at QB, they aren't going to get significantly better next year and they'll have a worse draft pick than us.
Both Carolina and Atlanta are in shambles and are both fully in rebuilding.
I know I'm grasping at straws here, but the reality is the NFC South isn't going to get better next year.

So we can thrust out our chest that we might be the tallest kid on the short bus?

We can probably win the NFC South with 8 or 9 wins in 2024
Its the perfect Dennis Allen scenario

We have a second place schedule next year and there is no way it’ll be as easy as this year. This team won’t make the playoffs until loser Allen is gone.

I'm saying we're not in a division where we have a 49ers, Cowboys, Ravens, Dolphins or Bills ahead of us. Those are teams that are good and set up to be good for the next few years. It won't take as much for us to be the best in the NFC South by a significant margin which means a good chance at the playoffs and a playoff run.
It's always easier to get better when there isn't a dominant team in your division. Look at how the AFC East suffered when the Patriots were dominant. How the AFC South suffered when the Colts were dominant. How the AFC West suffered when the Chiefs were dominant.
There is no dominant team in the NFC South so it makes it an easier path to have better years.

The Falcons at pick 8 could get one of the top QB’s and will have a new head coach. They will be in position to make a big move up if they make the right decisions.

What does next season have to do with today?

Way too early to tell. Wait till offseason and free agency moves are announced.

We really don't know that for sure. We substitute the NFC Central for the NFC East next year which I don't think is a big change. Yes the Cowboys and the Eagles are very good teams but the Giants and Redskins (I will never call them Commanders) are terrible.
As the second place team we'll play the Rams and ironically the Packers again next year. Meanwhile the Bucs will play the Lions and the 49ers. I'd much rather play the Rams with an aging Stafford and the Packers to get revenge than the Lions and 49ers, two teams built to be very good for awhile. That alone gives us an advantage against the Bucs.
Essentially the NFC schedule would be very similar. You essentially trade out the Lions and Vikings for the Cowboys and Eagles. Lions and Cowboys are essentially equal while the Eagles are significantly better than the Vikings.
The biggest change is we play the AFC West next year compared to the AFC South this year. I mean yes that means the Chiefs but they could be starting to decline. And there's nothing that crazy scare me about the Raiders, Broncos or Chargers. The 17th game will be against the Browns. The 17th game this year was against the Patriots. Again no significant difference in strength there.

It's still the Falcons, they won't make the right call.
Even if they did they aren't going to touch Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels or Drake Maye. And unless we had tanked neither were we.
Penix could be a concern but I'm not sure they go that route. And I would absolutely beyond love to see the Falcons draft Bo Nix. Bo Nix has NFL bust written all over him just like Desmond Ridder. Honestly if the Falcons go the Bo Nix route that's probably the best case scenario for the Saints.

You don't fix the problems the Falcons and Panthers have in one offseason. They are at least 2 years away. Now the Bucs could improve but they would be the only major concern. And again the Bucs are going to lose next week and they'll have a worse draft position than us. So if the Bucs improve significantly it most likely won't be through the draft.
