Re: 2021 NFL Draft: New Orleans Saints
 

The more I look at it, this trade makes sense for both teams. Miami would have picks 6, 18, and 28. Saints would get 36, 50, and 60.

Trill Williams - CB Syracuse

Can play both inside and outside. Good size, rangy & is physical. Would be a good prospect for coach Richard to coach up.

We don’t trade back. Ever. It isn’t our MO. You might as well erase the phrase “trade back” from your mind.

The recent past drafts... they've been whiffing in the later rounds of late.

Re: 2021 NFL Draft: New Orleans Saints
 

It seems to be that whiffing in the later rounds is commonplace everywhere. The best front office's appear to do this on a extremely regular basis from my recent research. Practice squad fodder for many for a year or two, if that, before moving onto vinyl siding sales.

But, that's a good number of starters in that list. I'd say the draft has been pretty successful in recent years.

David O in the 4th? Wow, nice scouting and coaching up there.

Re: 2021 NFL Draft: New Orleans Saints
 

Saw an interesting stat today. Most consecutive years without drafting a QB in first round:

Saints 49
Cowboys 31
Pats. 27
Seattle. 27

Re: 2021 NFL Draft: New Orleans Saints
 

I also did some brief research and found that, outside of Brady; and Brees at early second round, the top 20+ all time leading passers in all categories are all first round pics. At least from a brief, drunk analysis. Tarkenton and Moon are close.

Re: 2021 NFL Draft: New Orleans Saints
 

Yup. I seriously doubt anyone drafting a QB beyond the first round is expecting anything more than a possible backup.
