Yikes. The New Orleans Saints pushed all their chips in on Dennis Allen’s vision for the team in 2022, mortgaging their most valuable asset for 2023 along the way: a pick in the first round of next year’s draft that will go not to New Orleans, but to the Philadelphia Eagles.
And the latest projection at Tankathon has that draft pick slotted in at No. 6 overall. With the Saints staggering into a 3-6 record on their season so far, it’s very possible that’s what they’ll end up giving Philly instead of the mid-20’s pick New Orleans estimated upon first making this trade.
