We needed a speedy receiver and it looks like we may have gotten a good one.

My sleeper pick …

4.45 speed/40" vertical with huge hands(10.50) . Let's see what impression the 7th rounder makes at camp.

"Z" receiver type skill set in this offense.

Good luck.

He's got everything that the Saints are looking for in a WR. His highl9ghts look good. But then again don't they all? I can't wait for camp so I can pick my dark horse. We have several good candidates from our undrafted pool as well as last years additions but not nearly enough. This is one position where I believe that we do not have enough there to compete in the NFL after MT. Depth will be critical to our success this year.

I agree Rugs. The only exception might be CB. Losing CGM vs Losing Lattimore is a toss up. it’s honestly open tryouts for starters AND depth at both spots IMO.

Will he play all three WR slots? And Special Teams?

That would be a nice start. Detellier was really impressed with Kawaan's Pro day workout. In a way his big frame, skill set and speed kind of reminds me of the Niners WR Deebo.

I'm also interested in seeing how Sean Payton adapts to not having Brees under center. Callaway, Trequan were very good deep receivers in college & JW has a very strong arm.

Now if we could just work on his deep accuracy he would be better off. There are too many deep interceptions for someone who loves to chunk the deep ball.

Bruce Arians did Winston no favors. In his offense, the WR and QB must be on the same page. Hell even Tom Brady had 12 (tied for 4th most in the league) in 2020 for Tampa.

Winston will be better in the Saints offensive system.

Want to know the best part of the clip? He converted a 4th and 3 by catching the ball 7 yds downfield; total gain of 19 ReYds is gravy...

Kawaan Baker has enormous hands (10.75) too.

I hope he shines enough to take Southlake (Jordan Humphrey) spot. We could really use a bonafide chain mover on those crucial 3rd downs.

Jordan, Easop Winston, Lampman aren't exactly "locks" at WR.

Re: Saints Pick WR Kawaan Baker in the 7th round
 
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 size and speed, believe your first inclination of Kawaan Baker as the WRz is spot-on; he'll face the lesser CB, get YAC opportunities as well as Go routes...

On the Saints depth chart toward end of the season, they've listed Marquez Callaway as the slot; but when he came in on 3WR sets, Thomas moved to the slot...

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...

Has anyone have news on MThomas, is he going to be 100% is his career as one of the best will hit a snag?
