To me, this just reeks of Martez Wilson again. You have a pass rushing outside backer in Baun that succeeded in college doing just that. I believe he was given under 5 snaps all season and didn't rush the passer once. With them envisioning him at the Mike position.

He'll be another square peg round hole guy that FO can't make work.

Rumors are circulating now that the Saints are very intrigued by QB Kyle Trask. No way in hell that would be in the first round, but it’s possible they’re eyeing him in the 2nd.

Trask's inability to move & scramble is a concern for most coaches/GMs. I do like his pocket presence & ability to read defenses. Put up big numbers at Florida against stellar SEC defenses. With all the "hype" surrounding Wilson, Mac Jones, Fields ... maybe Trask slides in the draft.

I wouldn't pick him at 28, but Day 2 or 3? ... maybe so.

If he's there in the 2nd I'd say go for it. Or if they traded back and got a extra picks then yeah take the chance if you think he's good enough. I think he will be gone before the Saints pick in R2. Soneone will go for him after the others go early.

Sleight of hand wrt Trask. FO is trying to move other team’s, I’m not buying the Saints are interested. IF there are rumors about a specific player right now, there is a reason for those rumors to be made public. And it’s not bc the Saints are interested. CSP generally keeps a fairly secure war-room wrt draft intentions.

Yeah I don’t buy the Trask rumors at all. If anything, Payton’s trying to get a team to trade back into the first round for him and push a non-QB further down the board. Maybe the Eagles, Broncos or Panthers could trade back into the first round for Trask if they don’t get QB’s earlier.

Trask in Round 2 makes sense...

Yep yep.

But dammit, I still want Jabrill Cox in the 2nd (assuming he drops)

. Demario Davis is a beast but one year older & not a whole lot behind him. Baun ... still a question mark.

IMO the meat and potatoes of the draft are rounds 2-4. Winfield Jr, Diggs, Hurts, Dobbins, Claypool & our very own Adam Trautman (3rd rd) taken on Day 2, 3 had impact for their respective teams as rookies.

Day 2 (see Michael Thomas) Saints draft selection could be just as important as that #28 pick.
