The New Orleans Saints must face that their plan backfires

Somewhere in between the two lists thrown by Andy Dalton Thursday night, was anyone else checking back the Saints’ Capital 2023 draft, only to remember (perhaps too loudly) that his first-round pick would go to the undefeated Eagles?

New Orleans, now 2-5 after Thursday’s 42-34 loss to the Cardinals, captivated us this off season with the idea of ​​pretending Sean Payton’s loss wasn’t a funeral of some sort. They handed the main training gig to Dennis Allen, their qualified defensive coordinator. They traded in the first round in a draft that every other team was saving from like the auto stock market during a chip shortage. The naysayers (myself included) were charmed by the idea that James Winston’s promising start to the 2021 season could go on, that Chris Olaf could have a similar effect to Jamar Chase on attack, the defense would remain in the top five and that sooner or later Tom Brady would leave the NFC South. So, it made sense to stock up now. At that moment, everything made sense in the world, and in fact, who would have criticized a team of mostly veterans for refusing to simply walk in the water?
