Per draft analyst Tony Pauline: the Saints informed agents they won't select a wr at 8th.

Just get used to Bust Bain. That’s the pick.

Then when we’re watching the offense struggle to put up more than 17 points by the start of October, we’ll be talking about the 2027 draft.

Rinse repeat.

I’m fine with not taking a wideout but, I have a hard time believing anyone with a say in who the Saints draft would be mouthing off about it in the days leading up to the draft unless it’s a smoke screen

I seriously doubt the Saints would divulge their draft intentions to agents right now
I do think defense is the greater need with that pick and you can still find a decent WR in the second round if that's what they do

This is so silly. Saints one day before the draft: “Dear all WR’s out there, we won’t be picking you. Please tell the rest of the league. Thanks in advance.” Yea ok.

Pauline? Not at all. He has no ties to the Saints. I do not recall him breaking any news. Do you honestly expect Loomis to disclose that type of information the day before the draft? Really?

My question is when was this said? This sounds more like free agency timeframe about salary (“spending”doesn’t really matter if it’s a pick) that they’re trying to make a story about now

Maybe he started calling around to the WR's agents after he gave the interview saying we won't draft anyone with question marks or is an outlier to their expected traits.

I'm just reporting what I read. Didn't say I
believe it. It's probably bs or a smoke screen. I thought some might be interested since it was allegedly told to agents instead of the media.

My money move up to the back end of round 2 - Chris Bell.

I want Delane but I also want Bain. Edge rushers and good cover CB's are valuable. Maybe they can get a year or two out of Cam since there were no takers.

Read where Dallas traded up to 9 with the Chiefs to get Delane. Sants pick Delane or force Pokes to deal.

Guess that means we are drafting a receiver

I'm not saying this guy is lying but I just don't see the upside in teams giving away their draft strategy the day before the draft

it's just hard to believe any report, especially at the last minute, but I guess we'll see

Sounds too much like a made up story.
