That’s an embarrassing take by tAthletic. No wonder why they struggling to stay in business.
Is it tho? Saints have drafted like shite the last few years. Only notable standout player was Olave and for what we gave up to get him definitely has not been worth it. His free agent signings haven’t been much better. Loomis is delusional to reality and his ego is so big, it will just bring the entire organization down soon.

We still haven't fully paid off that debt. It's crazy what we spent for him. We really need our own 2nd rounder this year b/c we are in rebuilding mode and have to make up for the mediocre-bad drafts.
This is actually a really big under the radar issue with our cap/roster building strategy. We can't do what the Rams did the past couple years and rebuilding by drafting in volume, because we don't have the roster spots. We are limited in creating roster spots because we have so much dead money hanging over guys who should be cut, that we sacrifice the very young/cheap talent we need to offset the cap strategy.
The Rams basically blew it up and made the playoffs in 1 year (while keeping 3/4 of their most important and expensive players). This rebuild was done without the #6 pick in the 2023 draft, as well
We are setting up the most insane tear down in NFL history, and have missed the playoffs in every year we've been doing it. Insanity.

This is pretty much the truth and why we have to rely heavily on veteran players.
The Chiefs get a ton of praise for Mahomes, and rightfully so, but they have straight up killed the draft for the past several years. Tons of impact players drafted and making up the core of their team.
