Whatever they do, it's gonna screw us.  With them taking whoever they get, and the Falcons taking Lance that win against Washington really fuged us.  No matter what we get at 8, both of them got better and did so ahead of us.

This will really be the test of how good of a coach Rhule is.

Just wondering why you feel this way?

What if the Saints trade up and take Waddle?

If the Falcons take Lance and 49ers Fields... that means one of Chase, Pitts and Sewell is there at 8. That’s a good thing. 
 

But obviously Chase won’t be there at 8. And if he was there at 7 the Saints will take him. Also, if he was there at 7 the Lions wouldn’t be trading out considering they tried to trade up to 4 for him. So unless the Saints are taking Sewell, it helps us

Its as if... having a quarterback on your roster who was once drafted in the top 5 doesnt necessarily preclude you drafting somebody better. 

Jameis Winston has been better than Sam Darnold. But we gotta pretend like we've struck gold and ignore the position in the draft lol. 

I can believe if the Panthers aren’t convinced in the QB class of this draft but you can’t convince me that at this moment they are convinced Darnold is their guy.

Per Sports Illustrated the target the Saints are looking at is Sewell. 

That's why.  

We lose to Washington, and none of this is a concern.  Now it is.  And Payton would cut his own nose off to spite us, and he does so at every possible turn.  He seriously hates us.

What? By that logic, let’s trade every pick (1-7) for the next 3 years and jump to #2 and take Wilson or something. Then we’ll really screw all our rivals over by getting better ahead of them!

There’s a cost of moving up that far, you know...they’d be screwing themselves a thousand times more than they’d be screwing us, unless they hit an absolute home run with whoever they take (like perennial All-Pro game-changer).

This is the dumbest take of the week, and I've heard some bad ones. Do you know how much they would have to give up to move from 28 to 7? It's not going to happen. 

Might help grease the wheels a lot if their new head coach is an old colleague/friend.

(which...he is)

They might wanna take a particular player with them, and be willing to negotiate around it.

And yet, we've been sitting back writhing and sulking around in our inter-divisional hate for them saying the same thing for years now - "oh, that's gonna come back to bite them," "no way they can keep signing people," "cap is gonna be unmanageable pretty soon..."  guess what?  None of those things happened, yet.  Theyve signed all the guys and traded for all the guys they wanted and made it through the entirety of Brees' tenure there without ever having to have a massive purge or reset.  Moving up to get ahead of us means absolutely nothing to Payton.  He does whatever it takes to improve his team and if he can screw us in the process, that gives him that much more incentive...  he loves it.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I see Bryce's development this way: He improved when his supporting cast improved.  TMac and Dowdle saved his arse last year, but in fairness, most good QBs have good WRs and good RBs--and good OLs.   The 2025 OL underperformed, actually. They were above average, but they should have been elite if you consider the salary cap.   As soon as we signed Lewis and Hunt, I started thinking, "That's not sustainable.  With Ickey about to get paid a LT salary, Moton and Hunt grabbling $50m per season combined, and Lewis around $17m--that would be nearly $100m and the Center just walked.  Yikes.  What does that mean?  Rico walks, Mays walks, and we do not have a top 5 WR on a second contract.  We do not have an elite TE, and only 1 is on a modest second contract. And now Bryce will demand $50m for his incremental rise to mediocrity?   So when we sign Bryce, we will get weaker at other positions.  Hunt, Moton, maybe Ickey and Lewis, will all be casualties--that is the right move regardless (not sure yet about Ickey, but he was not elite) Bryce is one lucky, entitled camper.  No competition since being drafted, and he lost his job for a while to the aging clipboard holder.  Now we are bringing in UDFAs and busts to compete with him.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      Probably not.  If we are taking a QB, it would be a prospect to replace Bryce and not a flyer type player.  I can't say for sure, but I doubt he would have cracked the top 3-4 QBs even if he were to play this coming season.

      The Giants, Cardinals  and Dolphins should have moved on, but they didn't and ended up cutting their QB early into a monster second contract and had to eat a TON of dead cap money.
