well I mean if you don't want him that's fine. But I mean he was an All-American and the ACC defensive player of the Year.

you made it sound like he really didn't do anything.

they don't just hand out awards just for the hell of it.

watching the Ross Tucker pod that they did today I didn't realize Jason Taylor coached Bain this year at Miami on the D-line.

side note, I tried to find a wager to make on who the Saints would take at #8 on DraftKings.

they are currently stopped at through the first six teams fwiw.

I also thought it was interesting you could place a bet on what position all the NFC South teams were going to pick in Round 1 except the Saints.

subject to change of course,

He said Simpson just doesn’t have the number of starts you like to see from a first rounder and Mendoza has shined in the big moments.

15 career starts for Simpson

looking through the interior D-line talent there isn't really anyone that seems like the cream of the crop. That's a position that isn't really talent rich so other positions will get picked more than usual?

I wonder if the Saints would trade away some draft picks for a veteran presence on the interior. Nothing crazy like a 1st or a 2nd hopefully.

just a thought. I mean I think the Saints feel like they have their QB don't waste anytime giving him weapons and tightening up the D.

The Saints have failed at identifying this type of player for years, let’s keep doing the same. And the one guy who was good, Hendrickson, we let walk in favor of Davenport. The hope the Saints stay far away from DE with the first pick.

Foskey was a 2nd round pick, and he was a waste of space agree there.

Payton Turner just wasn't durable.

Davenport was picked in Round 1 eight years ago. He was very productive when he did play but he couldn't stay healthy either.

But you don't just give up on drafting a position because of recent misses and Davenport is nearing being picked almost a decade ago. We need to let that go man :lol:

But the Saints defense finished 16th in scoring and 9th in passing yards allowed. I wouldn't mind picking another corner or a safety depending on how said player is used. I guess it just depends on who is on the board when they pick.

if Delane is as good as people say, then maybe he is the pick. If he can take away a WR 1, great! But also, I feel like pressure and sacks on the QB are the way to go.

I say you pick someone to play opposite of Young. Either Cam Jordan comes back or he doesn't but he's a rotational player regardless.

Granderson is good but not a game changer.

but I'll just leave this here also.

this is off of Pro Football reference, so if you think I'm full of shite, by all means look it up.

do you know what Kool Aid's completion percentage average was?

58.7 that was the best on the team considering targets and snap counts

Taylor was targeted 94 times and a 68.1 pass completed rating.

I think picking Downs is a no brainer if he's there but if not maybe take a DB later on.

Riley's pass completion percentage rating was 59.6.

In fairness I don't know what corners from other teams looked like, but it seems Taylor got picked on the most. And he couldn't tackle.

Jalen Farmer might be another player to watch out for at guard.

6'5 312 out of Kentucky

yeah, 3 time All Pro.

Tampa's defense allowed a lot of explosive plays last year. The speed was lacking there in the middle, and I didn't realize David is 36 years old.

with David and Mike Evans dipping out, and them continuing to rotate offensive coordinators almost every year, that's not sustainable. I think that finally showed up last year even after they got out to a good start. They beat Seattle on the road and Baker was getting some early MVP love.

then that vanished like a fart in the wind.

what is the projection for the guard out of Georgia tech? the Rutledge kid??

he had a great Senior bowl week.

True

also, maybe he's being advised not to do certain things which may or May not be the best advice.
