TV: The Minnesota Vikings have traded pick #14....
Me: We just lost Mac Jones
TV: .... to the NY Jets
Me: We are getting Mac Jones
I bet NO would have needed to trade #28, #60, 2022 #1 and 3rd rounder next year.New Orleans was picking 28...little chance Minnesota was going to trade with them unless they gave up a boatload

Just a guess.
Jones fits what the saints do, so he would have been a good pick for them, but no way they could have moved up.From the podcast:
So da Jete did us a favor, their trade up with MIN to take an OL meant that NO could not trade up and take Mac Jones ahead of us.
- NO wanted to get into the top 10 to take a CB but did not have the draft capital to do so
- Sources on two different teams told Lombardi that then they were trying to get above 15 to take Mac Jones
- NO had a shot at MIN's pick but the offer by NYJ was better than what NO could offer
- MIN's pick was the only one in play between 10 and 15
- Thus, NO had 'no' shot, lol!
Lombardi says we now know Sean Payton, BB/Josh and Kyle Shanahan all had strong evaluations on Mac Jones, and these are some of the best QB evaluators in the league, so we should be glad we now have Mac Jones.

Jealousy is an ugly reaction, little person. One day you’ll tell your kids you knew a great prognosticator.
