With New Orleans right behind us and wanting a QB and good for us it's most likely going to be Sanders. We have a huge opportunity to pick up some draft capital and drop a couple of spots. We'll still get a high caliber player in a position of need. 

More importantly we screw New Orleans. 

 

Go Panthers

Mcshay and other analysts are speculating the Saints could just pick BPA, roll with rattler, clear some cap space next off season and go for a qb in the next draft where there are some very talented dudes that potentially could come out.  In short, Arch in new orleans with a rebuilt roster and with cap space would be a problem.  I guess we will see what happens in a week

I don't know if their new HC came onboard for a tanking effort.

And when was the last time the Saints decided to go into full rebuild mode? Seems like they are always convinced they are just a couple players away from a playoff spot.  I think other teams will be predicting they want a QB with the first pick whether that turns out to be true or not.

I think their cap situation and aging players, coupled with who the fug knows what happens with Olave, then now they could be convinced to tear it to the studs and that takes a minimum 2 years at best.  No better time then doing it with a coach in his first year.  I can see this roster and rattler easily getting them a top 3 pick

Arch Manning to the Saints would be a interesting story. They almost killed his dad.

Thats actually the smart thing to do, but of course a lot of people are just gonna assume every other team is gonna do the stupid thing instead of the smart thing except for us.

I think they most likely gave some assurances that he has time to build but I wouod be very surprised if they opted to tank straight out of the gate. I mean it may happen anyway, regardless.

I am gonna be honest, I will have to see a lot from Arch to understand this hype. If he is this massively generational player, why has he never been able to beat out a 3rd to 5th round pick in a very, very weak QB draft?

I don't recall Lawrence or Luck needed this time on the bench in their "generational" career arcs.

Wasnt moore like their 5th option if we are being honest?  I think any sane coach can look at that roster, cap space etc and understand this is going to take time and no way its done over night.  There is a world where moore sold them on just ripping this thing down and rebuilding the right way without these insane contracts.   I guess we will see during the draft

I think its just the connection with the family that may have NO tank this season to get him

      Surprise! Wait… Surprise Again! Kon Looks Really Good!

      By t96 · Posted

      Ehh, new front office has 2 drafts under their belt -- Salaun draft class was really a horrible class in general, but Salaun has started to show some of his potential and KJ Simpson not bad for a 2nd round pick. This past draft clearly looks like it was knocked out of the fuging park obviously with Kon but also Sion and Kalk already contributing in somewhat big roles for late round picks. And McNeeley has shown potential and lit it up in summer league, seems to be doing well in the G league for a young guy too.      As for this season I think a very realistic goal and outcome of the regular season is sneaking up into a 7 or 8 seed and then winning 1 of 2 play-in games to make the real playoffs. Probably get cooked in round 1 but that playoff experience and establishing that expectation of winning is critical to the development of our young core.

      Statistical reasons to Scratch Ickey from returning as a LT--Even in 2027

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      Sound write-up MHS, as always.  Agree that the smart move that forward thinking franchises make would be drafting a tackle early, if not for sure in R1, depending on who's there. Based on early predictions we're choosing between Fano and Proctor. No brainer here...Fano all day. Proctor does not move the needle for me. In my mind, Icky has less future here than Brooks does. I love Icky, but he has been average as a top-10 pick, one good year where you saw the potential...and that was this year. He's built like a RT and his strengths are there, but he's always played left. I also feel like part of what has held him back from being elite, was his work ethic. He was known for it coming out, but feel like he fell right at home in Carolina and maybe didn't push himself as hard as he needed to. Throw in a major crucial injury that will take time to recover and a historical low return rate to current form, and the outlook is not great. Fano can play both sides and we need to also plan for Moton's departure. Either way, delaying drafting a tackle early this year will hurt us down the line. Our current OL is overpriced and needs to start adding draftees to start balancing out the inevitable changes coming in the next 2-3 years.  As others have said, maybe Icky can replace Hunt or Lewis in a couple years when he's fully recovered....IDK. Also not a guarantee, but then you have to figure out his contract and it becomes even more clouded.

      Shedeur makes the Pro Bowl

      It's past time to just eliminate it in terms of an event. Just do the voting, name the roster, and move on. When you get down to 6th and 7th alternates it's just absurd. It doesn't mean anything.
