The ‘27 QB class is supposed to be stacked. Some of the teams that need one will likely find a stopgap option, be average to bad in ‘26, and hope to get a guy in next year’s draft.
No one compare any player to Pierre Thomas until that player also achieves Saints legend status.

Yes, Styles would be great.
Some will argue #8 is too high for a linebacker, but looking at this draft it makes sense.

Yes, this team has too many holes to take a player they don’t expect to start or play in Round 2.
Take a gamble on a QB if you want, but wait till later.
Yeah, Styles is shooting us after the combine.
Anyone else think Bain slides down into the teens because of arm length?

It’s a strange year in that three of the highest rated players - Downs, Love and Styles - play positions that teams don’t like to draft in the top 10.
No, his hands were not a problem in NO.
Good hands. Good speed. Good player. Wish he could have stayed but I get that it was time to rebuild.
Where all the draft graders who gave our 2025 draft a C- ?
Get what you’re saying.
Florida is rolling and putting up big wins against good teams the last month (TN, GA)

But can we not talk about a postseason tournament until we see a few conference wins.

I think alive is good.
But I doubt they draft a RB that high.
Also, Shough is quite a bit bigger and athletic.
Agreed. Z Thomas has played well in a do-everything role
He has been at Wisconsin the past two seasons.
Here is his ESPN state page - LINK
If it was my son, and he was good enough to have competing offers, I would encourage him to play at Stanford, Northwestern, Vandy, Duke - some really good school that he wouldn’t get into without athletics.

That was pretty awful.

Ranking biggest positions of need

What are the top 3 positions the Saints need to address before next season?
Choices are:
K
OG
CB1
WR
RB
EDGE
DT
Ruiz has never been especially good.
It’s not all his fault. I mean, he is a center playing guard. Not sure why we ever tried the experiment.
His run blocking is okay but his pass blocking has always seemed poor to terrible.

FSU is a terrible loss. It was the first game of the season, yes.
But they got stomped by an average team.
I thought he was off to a good start the year he hurt his knee.
The team was playing well. CSP knew how to call plays that played to Winston’s strengths, and he was making fewer mistakes. That season went down the chute after he got hurt.

The online is bad.
Don’t be fooled by a QB who can move a little.
They do not pass block well and they do not run block well. As a whole, it is the worst position group on the team.

Why is our depth so bad o-line?
A few people get hurt and we’re playing a true freshman guard at tackle.
I would add that a student can’t truly be judged on test scores alone.
Test scores don’t account for understanding people and building relationships, which is what gets most people ahead.
