Late Day 1, possible Day 2 sleeper.

Hopefully the Saints won't reach for a Olineman in the first.

Honestly as unsexy as OL are I think it'll be as important as any WR they can draft(and we really do need a WR).

I'd still be trying to get Parker pre draft(4th-6th).

Debating with someone the other day who thinks the line is good. Peat spends as much time on his backside as his feet when healthy and honestly Ruiz just looks lost and its having a effect on McCoy and Ramczyk who are constantly trying to do their job and watch to cover his misses as well.

Jaemis was sacked 6.6% on all drop backs last year(highest in the league). Terron is gone leaving a massive hole. And McCoy,Throckmorton are both FA next year.

Fits the bill as 1 of 8 OT’s in this draft with a 9.0+ RAS. That will greatly appeal to the Saints. He’s only played RT though.

Don't forget that Ramczyk and McCoy missed 13 games between them last season counting the five snap first game by McCoy.

Lol, excuses as usual.

Peat and Ruiz are weak links 1a & 1b. Dougie Marrone won't deal with the shenanigans on the line. Get it together or have a seat.

Brees, Taysom, Winston and Trevor took unnecessary shots over the last two seasons by these two former 1st rounders whiffing/missed assignments.

Hopefully we bring in a vet to push Ruiz.

I’m really starting to like the idea of Georgia WR George Pickens in the 2nd round. He doesn’t get talked about as much because of the injury last year. He would be a perfect fit at Z-receiver.

Draft is one month from tomorrow! Jaguars on the clock.

As of my feeling right now, I hope the Saints trade back from 18 and get two later picks in the first/secon somehow end up with three total picks in the first 2 rounds (Two from trading 18 plus their own second rounder). With those three picks in the top 64 I would take WR, T, then highest rated of S, TE, or HB. Then move onto round 3 where they have multiple picks. Anything signed from FA would be gravy then. An OBJ or Landry coming in as a #3 WR sounds fine to me. So does signing say Melvin Gordon or Kyle Rudolph.

Probably why I’m not employed by any NFL teams
at the moment. 🤔

The more I look at it, as much as I want a guy like Chris Olave in the 1st, it’s going to be a lot easier to get a complementary Z-receiver on day two than it will be a plug and play starting LT.

Do you know his injury status?

I kinda have that feeling too, but Major has brought up good points about getting that stud WR as well. It’s a tough choice. We’ve had some “misses” with first round Oline picks in recent years. Only no 1 WR taken recently was Cooks and he wasn’t terrible.

The ACL tear was in March 2021 and he managed to play a little down the stretch in Georgia’s title run (in a very limited way of course.) By all accounts he’s good to go now.
