Can we just finish them off already. If your going to start a war with Iran and brag about it...then finish the regime. Im tired of bad timelines and this horrendous idea of a ceasefire when you had them on the ropes already

If nothing else the Saints for the first time in years are interesting.

I cant imagine any football fan of the Saints not excited to watch this offense develop from week 1-idk what it is anymore...18-19? 2 byes/17 football games who knows where played.

Even at the end of the Drew years we didn't have High end WRs or TEs we had MT before the brain Dementia offset by CTE along with bipolar bitch syndrome and if lucky Ben serviceable Watson pre Fleener or that scrub the Rams game we wanted to develop.

TE: Johnson/Fant/Delp

Call me crazy but id call that an upgrade over anything we have had in years

Don't get me started at WR
Tyson, Lance, Brown, Vele, Polk, Palmer, Big Poppa Pump Lite added to Olave

OL
1st Rounders
LT, RG, RT
Biggest Caps
LG, C

Become a unit. Frick Ruiz. If someone can beat him out please do it.

QB
Shough. He showed some good stuff IDC who the competition was and he did it with nobodies. He was playing with the replacements.

Bottomline: I think this team could surprise. We have deficiencies but those can be disguised during the regular season enough for us to be competive enough to win division. Won't go far in playoffs if granted access. Maybe one win...at home for winning division but you know NOLA would show up for that

Defense has some issues and could be our achillies heel. You dont replace a Demario. You can probably replace a Cam. Secondary still needs another dude.

Crazy to see how much fan sentiment can change in less than 12 months.

Crazy what happens when you stop selling Derek Carr, Dennis Allen, and the player away mentality

Also crazy what happens when you build a team organically. I dont know what our record is gonna be but the Saints are gonna be fun to watch again. We got some burners and dawgs.

On paper I would fap to that class.

Im very happy with this draft

I love the optimism

And we need it as Saints fans.

Shough played great in messed up situations but also against mostly average or bad teams

This year is to gauge Shough with talent, against the league but what we didnt see last year was Shough against the best. That matters. Shough in a shootout on the road with division on the line or olay9ng so and so with conference standing on the line.

This is us making a step toward competing but still feeling out the waters. Its the smart approach.

Like Mikey said when you had Drew you were always a player away. They aren't doing that with Shough. Shough has to earn his right to stay QB of New Orleans but all Kellen did was shower you with love and support. So im really excited. I think our HC believes in this guy and I saw the same glimpses you did...then you do this...your giving him everything he needs.

If you are relying on a 5th round guy to start at CB you are in a world of hurt.

June 1st, 3rd stage FA, and off-season trades still exist for those holes

Abney is undersized
Rivers can be easily supplemented with a vet castoff

Styles is probably 80% gonna flop but if you hit its a draft steal at the league level. Depends on coaching and scheme to make it work long term.

Like the previous poster said...at this point we aren't drafting starters. We are taking depth and ST which year one he could do well at.

Johnson/Delp/Fant
Olave/Tyson/Lance/Vele/Polk
Etienne/Kamara/TBD

All the cap and capital in the OL

This offense could be real nice once we figure everything out

We actually took 4 WRs

Vele 4th
Polk 6th
