Anything Saints is my thing. I just haven't been into the college game much for years. Not since my oldest started his swimming career. That was over twenty years ago. I read more these days online than in the past so if I see something relevant I'll share it. One thing I've come across is that the QB class is the weakest it's been for many years and a first rounder selection would be a mistake. But, we all know there will be more than one taken. I just hope to hell it isn't the Saints making that mistake.

I’m intrigued by Kenny Pickett and I loved Matt Corral all year, but i think it’s time to go WR. If not for the injury I’d say Jameson Williams, but with him out, give me Chris Olave.

Chris Olave is definitely the perfect plug-and-play WR who could make an instant impact for us. I’m right there with you on that one.

Indeed. I feel like he’s the most balanced prospect. Good hands. Good route running at every level. Decent blocker. Good speed. Good for this offense.

I'm not as down on the Saints current WR corps as some. Many of those are totally disregarding Thomas as being a part. Give me Thomas, Callaway, Harty, and a young dynamic receiver like what I read about Olave and we are a serious threat not including any other addition.

Maybe trade up and grab Williams in early round 2? Time to recover.

If he falls into the second round I wouldn’t mind that. If I was a team in the late first round I’d just go ahead and take him.

Maybe they could get picks say 18 and 40 for a reasonable price and get williams there.

Yeah I have an 8 year old and twin 5 year olds so Saturday’s are becoming less and less about watching college football. Now is when I catch up on watching prospects because it’s January in Wisconsin and I’m not leaving the house.

I just cannot see Sean Payton drafting a QB in the first round. With how complicated our offense is and how impatient Payton is… He strikes me as wanting someone with NFL experience.
