It ain't Arch because he's ineligible?

Wrong season to go so south so fast it seems.

It's so bad it makes you hope some shite like this could be true

This is only the first year of tank

2025 and 2026 still have to happen and the Saints won’t be good those years either

We are currently tanking for the best available player when it’s our turn to pick or trading back for more picks if Loomis gets hit by a bus or retires or something equally unlikely

They arent tanking, or at least they arent trying to. They just dont have the pieces to be successful without their best receiver, best olineman, and best qb

We could draft number 1 for the next 20 years and it won’t matter with Loomis picking busts and Dennis Allen coaching them.

Bigsby isn't available. The Jags value him over Etinene.

They are not tanking. They just can't play.

Our problems are from top to bottom. We're in the mess because we haven't been hitting in the draft. A lot of our higher draft picks haven't hit. We have a ton of draft capital put into the o-line but the only one we hit on is Fauga and McCoy.

The team is not tanking. We are witnessing Dennis Allen's best...he's just that bad!

Unintentionally losing is not tanking, my friend.

We also gave away a first round pick to land Davenport, and also did we give up one to get Olave?

We aren’t tanking. But I’ll play along



At this point, as bad as the Saints are, I just don’t see how they’ll get the top 2 picks for Cam Ward. I hate pretty much the rest of this QB class. So I’d rather just see them acquire talent. I don’t care if it’s Mason Graham, Travis Hunter, Nic Scourton, Abdul Carter, Will Campbell, Will Johnson, Banks, etc. They need talent at every position. Every. Single. One.


So I wouldn’t be mad at any of the above players. In fact, I’d say it’s a failure if you don’t get one of those guys above

We need to build the lines up. That way when you get a rookie QB they aren't required to make quick decisions and be under attack the whole game. Let them lean on the run game and play action.

Trade back.
Stockpile.

Assume Ratt /Haener don’t show anything special and we suck again next year.
Hope incoming QBs are way better than this year.
Draft a QB.

Umm, we’ve already done this. High first round picks on two tackles, another first round pick at guard. A high second round pick at center.

We’ve spent more draft capital on oline than any team in the nfl. We need a LG. But you don’t waste a top 5 or ten pick on a guard. That’s idiotic, you can get one in the 2nd or third.

Of course this board downvotes something that is 110 percent true. Etienne will be the one moved if anything. They have him for a 5th year option next year but aren’t going to pay after that. I consume almost as much jags media as saints and Etienne is the most likely player on that roster to get moved along with Cam Robinson.

The Saints aren`t tanking they are just a poorly run and coached franchise.
Mickey drafts players who have injury problems in college because his ego
is so big he think he can wave a Magic jaun and make them healthy.He got that from Sean Payton.DA s idea of discipline is no discipline or attention
to detail.Unfortunatly it ain`t going to change as long as Gayle`s in charge.
