re: New Orleans Saints Draft Thread - Saints select Oregon St OT Taliese Fuaga (1, 14, 14)
Posted by SlowFlowPro on 4/25/24 at 10:26 pm
If he had the prototypical frame I'd be all about it, but that also means that we probably would have never gotten the chance to draft him because then he would have been a top four or five pick way above Alt...

[quote]By that logic, a team that has a QB that doesn’t need replacement with a high draft pick should pick a QB solely because he’s the best player available?[/quote]
QB may be the one exception, given the nature of the position (only 1 QB can play), but that strategy is going to become more popul...

You don't win championships by drafting safe, high-ceiling guys. You need elite talent. That's not a guarantee it always works.

[quote]And you’re ok drafting this guy over Fuaga knowing there could be issues with him missing games, if not have issues his whole career?[/quote]
Yes b/c he's much more likely to become an elite player at a more valuable position (I think Fuaga could be elite at OG)
Would you prefer a Bosa b...

[quote]1. You’re assuming no other injury would pop up[/quote]
I'm comparing like to like.
Young could have a career-ending injury, too.
[quote]2. Marcus Davenport and Payton Turner[/quote]
Raw athletes who are hurt due to that physical profile.
Literally nothing like Latu at all :lol:...

[quote].imagine if they had traded away future capital for Fuaga. Now THAT, my friend, would have caused me to melt and this entire site to crash[/quote]
Oh I would have melted for that

But Bowers went 1 pick early so there were no more unicorn ...

[quote]So if we signed chase to a long term deal then you would have no issue?
[/quote]
I would have had a major deal, but not for his neck issues specifically.
The neck issue only matters b/c it's likely going to take up 25-50% of his time here.
Not comparable to a cost-controlled 1st roun...

A. That's not true

All reports are he's 100% cleared. I mean he literally went one pick later by a team with a lot more recent draft success than we have had. :lol:
Murphy then went the next pick to, again, a better drafting team than us lately. ...

[quote]We signed Chase Young and drafted Bresee. [/quote]
Young is coming off surgery, Cam is old (may be done), and Granderson may not be a full time guy. We need edge.
We need a lot at DI, too. Bresee looked OK last year, but the rest is pretty poo.

[quote]Do you think Garret Wilson was over drafted?[/quote]
He did not take a step in year 2, either, but he also had Zach Wilson throwing to him. Olave had vastly superior QB play, even with our QB room.
Zach Wilson makes Jameis look like a 1st ballot HOF...
