I hear you. I really do. But what could going 7-9 instead of 6-10 really have done in the mind of a fan?

Surely you see that picking 7 or 8 in every round of the draft is better for our team than picking 13 or 14, right?

This isn't about wanting the Saints to lose. They did that themselves 9 times coming into this game. At that point though, shouldn't we want the team to get high draft picks?

Consider this to make it even worse.

Teams often trade draft picks to move up right?

For instance, a team drafting 14th may trade their 1st, 2nd and a 4th to move up to 8th.

Or a team drafting 50th will trade their 2nd and a 5th to move up to 43.. etc.

By costing ourselves 7ish positions each round.think of all the draft picks we effectively lost due to the trade value plummeting
