Just an FYI on the 2021 draft date ...

Surely the NFL could make more money if they stretched it out longer. Anyone remember when it was a one day affair? It's just another one of the moves Godhell has made to over saturate the market.

I'm surprised that we don't have a 4th game during the week. That would give us Sunday football games which last all day. Monday night football which the NFL is trying to run more double headers on Monday. Then there's the Thursday night games which aren't as fun to watch because they don't have a full week to practice. So that still leaves four more days for the NFL to further expand and over saturate the NFL market.

I'm in. I'll watch NFL every day as long as it is live. The market isn't close to being saturated because every new time slot becomes one of the top viewed programs on broadcast TV. There are a lot of people that work on Sundays so being able to see live games on other days is great.

So your QB can come from any location, though I admit, most come in the first round...

Fully understand..., and agree. So..., which one of the potential second round and later guys are going to supplant Tom Brady, or Joe Montana? I don’t think the Saints know either. If they did know, unequivocally and unambiguously, then I’m all on board with drafting a Tom Brady or Joe Montana or Drew Brees replacement, in any position.

Trust me, I know the quantitative analysis is there on dang near everybody in the draft, regardless of pos’n, but sometimes fit with a team, or a single bad position coach, or a personality quirk, etc... can turn a superstar in the making into persona non grata with an NFL team’s FO, ensuring he is seen as a bust.

It’s the uncertainty, not the round drafted. imho, if you’re drafted, you have the potential. After that, it’s just development and fit that makes the difference between success or failure. Brees wasn’t exactly a stud puppy at San Diego, and regardless of injury, I firmly believe he would have been completely wasted had he and Payton not found their joined at the hip relationship.

If a top rated tackle falls to us ....

That's the pick at #28

Heck, if a top rated ANY position drops to 28 I’d say that’s the one 🤪

Long snapper?!

K Major · 04-06-2021, 02:47 PM

Or maybe, just maybe Sean Payton goes back to Alabama and selects Najee Harris @ 28 ?

IIRC we went up to get Mark Ingram. I think ...

Taking the best player available is a luxury that we can’t really afford this year with so many holes.
