2023 NFL Draft War Room: New Orleans Saints
The Saints are another boring team that I really don’t feel like doing. What is the direction of this football team? Dennis Allen isn’t a real head coach. The Derek Carr addition pushes the Saints closer to mediocrity? It’s a decent roster but one that’s aging fast outside of Chris Olave. We also don’t even have the original Saints pick and will instead pick at the back of the back thanks to Sean Payton. Let’s get this over with and head inside the Saints 2023 NFL Draft War Room.
- Round 1, Pick 29 (from DEN via MIA and SF)
- Round 2, Pick 40
- Round 3, Pick 71
- Round 4, Pick 115
- Round 5, Pick 146
- Round 5, Pick 165 (from Philadelphia)
- Round 7, Pick 227
- Round 7, Pick 257*
We know one thing to be certain. Nobody gets hornier trying to trade up than Micky Loomis. We’re not going to do that today but it’s something that has to be mentioned. It’s why we’re picking 29 instead of 10 today. The 29 pick is from Sean Payton too which the Saints really shouldn’t even have. I just fail to see how we can do a lot of damage here given the circumstances.
This team just bores me to death right now. Where is this team going? Derek Carr is fine but this team isn’t going to win any important playoff games. Outside of Chris Olave, there isn’t much to be excited about. What happens if Alvin Kamara goes to jail?
Overall the roster is somewhat strong so we probably don’t have to reach for any areas of need. You’re probably picking two guys in that late first – early second round range and making the most of it. We’ll see if fans like this outcome. I wasn’t thrilled with it but again, they made this bed and will have to lay in it.
