I don't know yet. I wanna hold off on that call until I've seen more from him. 2/3 round picks does sound expensive. 2/3 round picks could have given us two valuable players

Don't forget the two traded picks were at the tail end of the 3rd round. The Saints probably had Adebo targeted and didn't want to wait 20 more picks taking the chance he was gone. Value is relative. To them the two players that they might get may not have been worth the one player they really wanted.

The great thing about the Saints drafting is they are willing to go get the player they truly want rather than settling for what others determine is the value at the traded pick slot, whether they want him or not.

Oh, and it's prudent to hold off on making a call for a few years on every player selected in a draft.

I'm not going to argue with Adobo. Every time my wife makes it, it's delicious.

I hope we know of a hidden WR we can get late

Paul has a lot of confidence and swag to him.

He's from the Mansfield (outside of the DFW area) school district but got to Stanford because he excelled on the field but more so in the classroom.

High IQ player. Kris Richard has something to work with here.

The more I read about Paulson the more I’m excited about the pick. It seems that had he not opted out last year, he would have gone a lot higher.

There was discussion of him being a first round pick after the 2018 season, but his play regressed in 2019 and he opted out last season (only real red flag, if any)...
