"In on every deal"

Expect the bottom of our roster to be churned like butter. They'll want to keep cycling and shirting through trash until they find someone overlooked. 

The only free agent deal I want done is you know who.

Well if you get your wish I doubt they will be able to do any free agent deals for a while.   Better hit one those draft picks.

Why not?  Seems to work pretty well for them.

Saints are good because of their drafting, its allowed them to stay competitive while being in "cap hell"

Their 2017 draft is probably one of the best draft of all time, that didn't' include a QB.

4 all pro level players on rookie deals goes a long way

People have the Saints wrong cap wise. I’ve posted this multiple times but they extend their stars and then fill in with usually lower priced FAs. Look at their top 5 cap hits compared to ours. 4 of their 5 are drafted/developed and 4 of our 5 are guys most likely not on the team after this year or next. We spend large sums on FAs recently and they spend large sums extending their young stars. Extending Moton and probably Samuel wouldn’t have even come up for them. There’d be no discussion on CMC or Moore either. For us, we spend $$$s on injured old LTs, QBs that are just bridges and guys we probably won’t keep.

You make some good points bugs. I hope the days of spending $$$ for players past their prime, injury-prone, etc. are behind us.  And I hope we can replicate last year’s draft success going forward.

From the article...

"But before we do anything outside, I need to figure out who's here. I need to figure out this roster. I need to figure out who's on our offensive line, who's on our defensive line. I know them from a 30,000-foot view, but I need to know them from a coaching standpoint, and a personal standpoint, and meet these guys and see what they're made of.

Confirming again that the trenches are central to his team building philosophy...

I thought the Rhule press conference was more telling. 

He said that every GM candidate and every organisation has the philosophy, in theory, of QB / Oline / Dline.

It's whether you practice what you preach.

    • To start with, you wouldn’t want to count up that value chart. You would see quickly where that is headed. But you basically did a quantity comparison, while ignoring quality.  I am looking at 2023 as the start, because it became all about Bryce.  2023 you have 4 picks plus DJ Moore for offense vs 2 (80 and 145) for defense.  2024 you got the 1st overall, the 32, the 46 and the 101 for offense vs 72, 157, 200 and 240 for defense. Leave the FA IOL out of it. Which was a crazy big  investment. But it wasn’t draft.  Anyway, that is basically 4 top 100 picks for offense and 4 picks for defense in 2024. Except they were 2 first rounders, the second rounder, and the 4th was really high at 101. Vs 72 and day three stuff. Please….  Second quoted/bolded… See you think we hate Bryce. That isn’t it at all. It is nice easy way to characterize us and discredit our talking points though.   Me, I do mostly hate watching him play. But I don’t hate the person. I hate the hell out of the stanning.  It started with the very first question I asked about his footwork, arm strength, and size. Height being the principle objection. I never even got to the durability factor. There was plenty without factoring that in.  But there was rabid opposition to even asking the question of what a couple of small fractions of a second extra closing time would do for the defenders.  What the extra time it takes to flip the hips would do vs a pass rush or on the other end after the ball is in the air. Split second more for recognition where it is going for the DBs.  The tippy toe backpedal.  That poo was a mess and it has always been mess but no Bryce fan wanted to hear it. “Go get another team to root for”. “It worked in the SEC it will be fine in the NFL you don’t know football you are just a hater”.  It got worse when the real games started. It has never stopped. It is nice that many people have left that train so there is less abuse but it hasn’t stopped.  So whatever… 
    • Whatever school you attended, I don't know and I don't care, but I would suggest demanding a refund.    Something was completely missed there.
    • The draft capital since since 2023 has in no way been pretty even.  Especially when you zero in on day 1 and day 2 draft picks.  Draft capital has vastly gone toward the O over D.
