Saints to pick 28th in 2021 NFL draft

Welcome to the offseason, Saints fans. I've got nothing to offer specifically in regards to college players and where those players might be selected in the upcoming draft. Without knowing who the Saints have on the roster at the time of the draft I can only hope that they address LB's at this point.

Re: Saints to pick 28th in 2021 NFL draft

LB and CB

"You can't go wrong with BPA"

Yes, yes you can. Money is tight and there's a need at these positions.

Re: Saints to pick 28th in 2021 NFL draft

QB if the scouts see something there.

LB, DE & CB.

Re: Saints to pick 28th in 2021 NFL draft

LB'er, CB, and safety.

Re: Saints to pick 28th in 2021 NFL draft

My uncle is a season ticket holder at UT (Univ of Tulsa) …

He claims Linebacker Zaven Collins could be an immediate impact player at the position. Walter Football has him projected to be a late 1st/2nd rounder.

Re: Saints to pick 28th in 2021 NFL draft

I like OL or BPA...

LB will be the least of our concerns once cuts for cap space occur. TA is likely to be cut along with Easton. Peat is trash so our OG situation is tough as well. OLine needs to be addressed or whoever the QB is will be running for their lives.

So there won’t be any combine drills or official testing numbers. Teams have their work cut out for them.

Re: Saints to pick 28th in 2021 NFL draft

We should move Peat to defensive tackle since he's so good at getting after the QB

Re: Saints to pick 28th in 2021 NFL draft

CB had to be a priority. Besides Lattimore we don’t really have anyone else, Robinson and JJ aren’t getting any younger. I think we are in good shape as far as WR goes but we need a burner.
With our current situation I don’t see us as competitors for another 4-5 years minimum regardless of who we have at Qb. I don’t know if we can kick any more money down the road.

Re: Saints to pick 28th in 2021 NFL draft

Go get QB Ian Book in the late rounds. He's going to be a steal. Very good composure and quick feet. A lot like vintage Jake Plummer, and maybe better. Spend the early picks on defense and then pick up a good RB or TE that falls (both those positions are quite deep this year)

Re: Saints to pick 28th in 2021 NFL draft

Deonte Harris is our burner. We have two arms to can reach him too.

We need the o line and d line to be more dominant

Re: Saints to pick 28th in 2021 NFL draft

We will receive an extra 3rd this year and next year for the Failcants poaching...correct?

Saints to acquire compensatory draft picks once Falcons hire Terry Fontenot:https://saintswire.usatoday.com/2021...erry-fontenot/

Quote:

It’s going to be tough for the New Orleans Saints front office to absorb the loss of personnel executive Terry Fontenot, but his rise to become the next Atlanta Falcons general manager does bring a slight silver lining: several compensatory draft picks.
Because the NFL implemented a new incentive to its minority candidates hiring policy, teams that lose those candidates to head coach or general manager positions will received two third-round draft picks in the next two years. It’s a way of encouraging teams to develop more prospects for other franchises to consider. Fontenot, who is Black, qualifies the Saints for that bonus.
For New Orleans, that means an extra third rounder in both 2021 and 2022. The Saints are also expected to receive a 2021 third-round comp pick after Teddy Bridgewater signed with the Carolina Panthers last offseason. After trading their own initial pick in that round (which would have slotted in around No. 84), they’ll instead be making selections at the end of it, near pick No. 100. The exact draft order will be announced later this offseason.

Re: Saints to pick 28th in 2021 NFL draft

It amuses me that the Saints will get extra draft picks from two of their division rivals. And that they'll get two 3rd round picks from their most hated rival is just...precious.

Re: Saints to pick 28th in 2021 NFL draft

Zaven collins Asante Samuel jr, a mid rd qb....Kedon Slovos, Tanner Morgan, Shane Buchelle

Well, they're compensatory picks, so the Saints get them because of team X not from team X - there's a difference.
