Re: 2021 NFL Draft: New Orleans Saints

I like Zaven Collins too. He can drop into coverage, play the run and rush the QB. I believe he is a game changer and can take over a game. If he is the best player on your board @ 28, select him.

I'm still high on Jabrill Cox though. He's played at a high level at two programs. ND State and then at LSU.

Having another beast alongside Demario would be outstanding for our defense. Wouldn't be opposed to drafting another pass rusher either.

BTW, I'm still hopeful Baun can get it done and sees the field more in 2021 now that Anzalone is gone.

Well... since our #1 CB is probably facing a lengthy suspension, f*** it let’s make the big trade up for Horn.

Or we take the CB2 this year and we're likely in a slot in next year's draft to take a CB1 if that becomes necessary...

28. New Orleans Saints: Ifeatu Melifonwu, CB, Syracuse
The Saints have let go of several players this offseason, including cornerback Janoris Jenkins. With their first-round selection, the sim has New Orleans taking his replacement in Ifeatu Melifonwu. A rare physical specimen with salivating movement skills, pairing him with Marcus Lattimore could be fearsome.

Not bad... Can Mac Jones slip to round 2 or 3?

What QBs are coming out next year worth a chit?

I'd rather go LBer, DT3, RT and target Stanford CB Paulson Adebo in the 3rd round; start the season with P-Rob/P.J. opposite Lattimore, if he's available...

If the Saints bring in TJ Carrie & ultimately sign him, I think that would spell the end of PRob in New Orleans.

TJ is much more of a slot guy than boundary corner.

But K, what do you do with Gardner? If anything, this Saints roster is thin on boundary, outside-press CBs right now...

At least P-Rob and P.J. can spot-start for you a couple games per season at the outside CB2 spot...
