In terms of watching the game, I'll always prefer a win.  However, I do think that draft position (if used well) can turn this team around.  

Are the Packers that dissimilar from the 2016/2017 Saints?  

Saints finish 7-9 in both 2015/2016.  In 2017 they draft Marshon Lattimore (12th), Ramczyk (32nd), Marcus Williams (42nd) and Karmara (67th).

I would argue that prior to that draft, the Saints were no more talented than the Packers.  As it stands right now, we'd be drafting 10th and likely 28-32nd.  Getting inside the top 10 could allow the Packers to draft a real difference maker.  I agree that there are lots of holes to fill: Edge rusher, O-line, safety, maybe another offensive weapon.  But it's not impossible to think that one great draft and some shrewd free agent moves could propel this team to the promised land.

You can't rule it out....
