The New Orleans Saints have a lot of holes to cover as they get ready for the 2024 NFL Draft. That was noted by general manager Mickey Loomis, who also evaluated the team’s strategy for a significant upcoming draft.
In the first round, Loomis stated he would consider moving up or back ten slots. Regarding trading up or back, Loomis stated in the first round that he was “going to look 10 spots in front and 10 spots behind.” #WGNOtvRegarding the 2013 NFL Draft, the Saints exclusive actually made the same claim more than ten years prior.
“We don’t want to go too far at this point, and the same is true of moving forward,” Loomis stated on Tuesday afternoon during a pre-draft news conference held at the team’s offices. Loomis established a 10-spot ceiling or ceiling for the Saints’ first-round selection, which comes in at number 15. Saints’ second-round selection was taken away from them as a penalty for their involvement in the pay-to-injure scandal known as Bountygate. According to Loomis, the Saints are not particularly keen to trade their first-round pick because they do not have the pick. Who’s Got the Dish?

Loomis added that you may obtain a player of the same caliber by moving back three or four players. Not necessarily the same, the Saints general manager said, if you go back eight or ten spots.
The first two rounds of the draft must provide a starter offensive lineman for New Orleans. Loomis observed that the best players in this year’s class had talent on the offensive end of the ball.
Perhaps a subtle indication of their clear need to work with a top-15 pick right now on that side of the ball.
