The New Orleans Saints thought that they had a good plan for the 2020 NFL Draft. They moved their “war room” to the Dixie Brewery in New Orleans East, a gated property secluded in an industrial park and owned by Gayle Benson (who also owns the Saints). Saints coach Sean Payton explained last week how he and several other decision-makers — including general manager Mickey Loomis and assistant G.M./college scouting director Jeff Ireland — had set up shop in a large banquet room, teleconferencing with scouts and position coaches for daily draft meetings. The plan was to remain there once the 2020 NFL Draft begins on April 23.
