Look, there isn’t a lot of great news surrounding the New Orleans Saints after Sunday’s loss to the Green Bay Packers. So forgive us for looking ahead a bit.
It’s early, but right now the experts at Tankathon project the Saints to receive a valuable pick from the Denver Broncos in the 2024 NFL draft as compensation for trading their former head coach Sean Payton: the first selection in the second round, at No. 33 overall.
That isn’t a first-rounder, but it’s as close as you can get.
Sure, things could change if Payton and his Broncos turn things around and rattle off a series of wins.
