Saints Pick WR Kawaan Baker in the 7th round

Rugby Saint II · 05-23-2021, 12:47 PM

If he can get Callaway's targets and a couple of more I'd be happy to see him fill the #3 or #4 WR slot after a full off season. Callaway impressed the stew out of me last season. He definitely passes the eye ball test. With another year and a normal off season his second year growth could be substantial.

Baker also passes the eye ball test just looking at this film. He's got the tools already. Coach him up and we've got another late round gem on our hands. Our players, like Johnson on the roster already, may be ready to take the next step and make it to the final 53 or whatever the number on the active roster is this year. I'm hoping that we surprise a lot of folks this year and Winston balls out with this young receiving core.

Based on his skill set, as KMajor alluded, if he's given the WRz opportunity, he should be third in targets behind Thomas and Kamara, or right there with the TEy...

That'd be a good thing as we're back to stretching the field, when Brees was still capable, which will mean more YAC and more productive gashes by the RBs...
