Let em’ play!

Trey Hendrickson drafted in 2017, didn’t start until 2019, only starting three games then. Why?

Well, remember all my Saints history when Jim Finks, Jim Mora would draft, develop players only to let them go to other teams as rookie contracts expired...

No salary cap then, small market, Tom Benson was super stingy; Rickey Jackson once demolished Tommy-Boy's prized conference table because of low-balling...

What I'm saying is you take players on and you kinda gauge when they should be taken snaps, starting based on where you take them in the draft...

First Round should start Game 1, Second Round should start sometime Year 1 or be in a rotation, Round 3~5 should be taken moderate snap loads Year 2...

Rounds 6 and 7, yeah punters, kickers you want under contractual obligation and special team guys that can be developed and possibly retained if you hit gold...
