Loomis will use next years picks as trade bait, knowing he has compensatory picks for next year.
(Edited for clarity)

I’d expect us to try and ramp up rookies in this draft to fill out roster.

Knowing we will have them, he will trade our future picks.

Cmon man I understand how this works. We need an infusion of players for cheap. It’s what we need to do.

Saints always grab 2 or 3 UFA that make the team...

Saints just started in FA, there is a good chance they lose most if not all of those comp picks. Wont' stop Loomis from those trades, he seems to like doing it 1-2 times per draft. But usually, he uses a future pick to package with a current pick and jump up a round, not to get an extra pick.

Ideally, they would actually trade down at some point in his tenure and grab some extra picks. Sitting at 29 would be a prime spot to drop to the top of the 2nd and grab 1-2 more picks. Teams covet that 5th year option and pay a little extra to move up. But he's more likely to find a way to get into the teens than he is to trade down.
