Treadwell runs 4.63 & 4.65

Yep

That's really not that bad and what we expected. 40 times are probably the most overrated thing in the world and I see a more Andre Johnson (good luck being physical) type. He just dominates corners with his strength and go up and get it.

With the DL talent this year I wanted the Saints to try and nab him if he was there at 12. But I've read some next gen breakdowns on his YPC and stats and they seem to project him as a possession-type receiver in the League.

Marques Colston's are available in every round of the Draft. Not just the 1st or 2nd. So I'm wondering if he's still worth it. Oh and I'm not saying getting a player with the production of a Colston is a bad thing. Dude just retired as the all-time leader in about every single important receiving category for the Saints and played his entire career with Breesus.

So we could definitely use one. I just would rather a Julio Jones than a Colston at this point if I'm going WR in Round 1, and I am not so sure Treadwell is more Julio than Colston at this point.

Kinda moot anyway as I don't see him being there...

Treadwell has never been much of a speed guy what he's good at is going up and actually catching the ball and getting YAC and blocking when he's not receiving.

I like why you are saying.... But Laquon shits on Colston and I am a fellow saints fan.

There's zero substantive evidence for you to base that statement on. He's been a fantastic player at your school and very productive. I'm in 100% agreement with you there.

But Colston was the most productive wide receiver during the Drew Brees-Era of the New Orleans Saints. From 2006-2015, during the time period Colston laced it up, Drew Brees threw for half of the 5,000 yard seasons in NFL History while NOBODY ELSE threw for more than 5K once. Hell last year he would've made it 5 seasons of 5k yards in 9 years but he sat out vs. Carolina early in the year.

Saying Treadwell sh!ts on Colston isn't just presumptuous, it's illogical and makes zero sense. Does he have the potential to be better? He'll need a great QB, a fantastic coach, a consistently healthy career and also to maximize his potential 100% to top what Colston did.

I say that knowing full well Marques Colston never made the Pro-Bowl a single time.

Just the facts, brah.

Would be a terrible pick up for the Saints at 12. Need to start preparing for the future, Quon is good but he isn't a guy who will come in and make a young QB's job easy.

IMO the Saints need someone who can open up the field. There are a few guys better at that coming out this year. If you can't get that, the defense needs some help.

Ireland coming in last year helped our draft immensely. We have some real quality with the picks at LB for a 34 front with Kikikaha and Anthony and Laurinitis only solidifies the LB spot for NO. You could make a case for corner beause I'm worried Keenan Lewis is not going to regain his form but at the same time I think Breaux is going to continue to improve and has a bright future opposite of him.

At Safety Bush kinda hurts moving on but we are good there IMO. It's between DL and CB and I think DL wins in a landslide as the biggest need on that side of the ball.

On offense, you've got tailback and QB solidified, and Unger and the interior line are alright at this point.

I see us getting another year out of Strief at RT (as much as I don't like the idea), and Armstead is the 3rd Pro Bowl LT for this franchise since Payton took over. All of them were late rounders if I recall (Bushrod and Armstead absolutely were/are).

At TE I think we're alright as well. I think the big need on offense is an ideal/prototypical size WR that can take the top off of the defense. If you run all verts, Cooks and a WR like that can provide credible deep pressure on 2-deep safety looks in coverage and if you run the bigger receiver vertical you can give Cooks more room to use his speed and quickness to gain separation on underneath routes.

I'm just not sold at all on the other WR answers in New Orleans. I also think Brees has 2-3 years of high-quality play left (remember Brady is 2 years older and is still arguably Top 2 QB in the League along with Breesus, and Drew just threw for 4,800+ yards this year to lead the NFL without a full complement of receivers and losing Graham to SEA).

So my take is that a gamebreaker at WR with a solid DT in Round 2 (which in ordinary drafts may allow you to take a 1st round talent in that spot this year, thanks to a loaded draft class at that spot) would give you a real boost IMO.

FYI - I stayed at a Holiday Inn last night.

Over or Under rated?

I'd love for the Saints to grab him.
