Loomis: Last time we had this many picks in the first 4 rounds was 2017 and it worked out pretty well.

Loomis: Our philosophy and Kellen's philosophy is that you build inside-out

Loomis: We're gonna draft 9 players, different positions. Doesn't mean that we don't like the guys that we have

Loomis: We like Rattler and Haener as prospects.

Loomis on drafting QBs: You're always wanting to take swings and develop the position. Have to resist overdrafting, taking someone way sooner

Loomis: Feel like there's more DLs in the draft than most years, in terms of top 2-3 rounds. Feel like there's fewer CBs than most years.

Loomis: The structure of our defense is changing. There's been a lot of conversations about that. We have to understand what (coaches) are asking our players to do. It is different.

Loomis: I've never been against trading back, it just appears that way

Loomis: If we're picking in the top 10, we're thinking we're going to count on this guy for the next 8-10 years. That's the goal.

Loomis: "I think a lot of times when you make mistakes, it's because the value didn't match where you were drafting

Loomis: We're always looking for the best player we can get, wherever we're drafting

Loomis: I'm excited about the new staff, excited about some of the things that we're doing that are different

Loomis: "I'm not going to answer any more questions about Derek at this time."

Saints GM Mickey Loomis: QB Derek Carr has an issue with his shoulder, we're looking for some resolution. When we have it, we'll get back to you.
