People here oddly idolize and worship the Saints' FO in here way too much.  Everything they do is a 200-IQ move purely intended to screw us over.  It's weird as hell.  I was told before the draft that the genius Saints were moving into the Top 10 to steal a franchise tackle or franchise QB from us and now we find out it was for the cornerback WE drafted...lol.

The also tried to trade up for Mac Jones. 
 

Of course, this was not the only time in Round 1 the Saints tried making a move. Michael Lombardi of The Athletic reported the Saints tried to position themselves to move up to draft Mac Jones as well, but New Orleans was thwarted when the New England Patriots took him at No. 15. 

I like when the saints lose.

The Saints too Marshon Lattimore at 11th years ago, so I  had a feeling they might want to move way up for one of the top CBs. I just underestimated how much teams were in love with Horn.

The party is over for the Saints now. If they sweep us this season I don't think I'll be able to recover.

Agree with this. I just can't get with the notion of not listening at all to their offer because they are the saints or any divisions rival. I think you atleast see what they are talking about if nothing more than to get some idea of what they are thinking draft night. 

We evidently had no interest trading down to #28. That takes us out of the running for all the elite first round talent.

So can we just share Campbell's draft thoughts in the future since he clearly sits in the office with them? No more mocks, just Campbell's because literally everyone was clueless we were taking Horn and he knew. Which means he knew how Rhule and company ranked the players.

Went back and looked....here's his last 5 mocks

2021: Jaycee Horn

2020: Derrick Brown

2019: Brian Burns

2018: Ronnie Harrison - mentioned the Panthers were in the market for a receiver but had DJ Moore and Ridley off the board by the Panthers pick

2017: Dalvin Cook - mentioned that the Panthers were searching for a 3 down back but had the wrong one 

So he obviously knows someone in there, and not just from the Hurney/Rivera regime

      Recommended free agent targets from roppster report

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      I am not worried about the contracts because any/all can be jettisoned in 2027 with minimal ramifications. I would like to land him because you rarely ever see an elite, 25 year old center hit free agency, this is a very weak center class and Mays is a bottom quarter starting center(love him as a utility IOL).  Ideally this offseason we solve center and draft a high caliber RT/LT to fill the gap for Ikey. Then next offseason, pending outcome of the rookie and Ikey's recovery you can jettison Hunt(VASTLY overpaid), make a determination on Ikey's ability to play(perhaps extend him on the franchise tag as a "prove it"), and let the Ikey/rookien situation dictate Moton. He can be extended on a LOWER cost deal or jettisoned if Ikey and the rookie can take the reigns. Either way, both OT's will need to be resolved, we need an actually starting caliber NFL center again and we need to get rid of one of these OG's. Hunt is the obvious choice as Lewis is substantially better across the board and cheaper.

      I’m just not impressed with these hires/openings

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      That's not a thing. If they can't find someone, they either aren't actually trying or it's a poisonous job and no one will.  Yes, plenty of them have gone with whom they wanted already. That's not really the point of the rule. It's to force teams to provide opportunities. It has worked well because coaches that wouldn't normally be given interviews are given that experience and teams have also been impressed enough to either offer them in the future or pass positive comments along to other NFL owners/front office personnel.  Also, we are over 20 years into the Rooney Rule. This isn't some new thing teams have to navigate.

      I mean, as soon as Svech scores on the guy, trot out your best shooters while the goalie is still in his head and go for the kill.  Last night made absolute zero sense.
