Good observation. However, we got more production from UDFA's than any other NFL team. These aren't scrubs without talent. These are the players who weren't drafted because they fell for a variety of reasons but they all have great potential. UDFA's know that they will get a fair shot in New Orleans.

Sitting tight, even trading back and drafting players seems to improve the overall quality of the roster? Imagine that...

Re: 2021 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook

WLB (2) 56 - DeMario Davis, 42 - Chase Hansen (RFC 2021)

MLB (2) 55 - Kaden Elliss, 54 - Wynton McManis (RFC 2021)

SLB (2) 53 - Zach Baun, 50 - Andrew Dowell (RFC 2021), 59 - Marcus Willoughby (RFC 2021)

Just imagine this roster without Demario ... scary.

"Batman needs a Robin". Jabrill C, Jamin D, Zaven Collins perhaps? Don't know what to make of Baun. Coming out of last year's draft class, some scouts had him as a 1st round prospect. I thought he played well on special teams though ...

That’s very true and scary. Also a hallmark of Payton’s tenure...failure to draft and develop LBs.

Zaven is a solid player, but I'm not sold on the value in the first round...

My uncle is a UT season ticket holder (lives in Broken Arrow / suburb of Tulsa) seems to think he's an impact player year 1. Stands out, makes plays and elevates others.

What if he and/or Jabrill slips to the second? I'd be happy with either.
