2022 NFL Draft: New Orleans Saints

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; I have a sneaking suspicion that the team has a better idea than us what and who they feel is THEIR best option. I'm seeing Deion Jones as a comp for D'Marco Jackson. “Speed and grit. That’s what D’Marco Jackson ...

I have a sneaking suspicion that the team has a better idea than us what and who they feel is THEIR best option.

I'm seeing Deion Jones as a comp for D'Marco Jackson.

“Speed and grit. That’s what D’Marco Jackson brought to the football field for App State the last four years, and he’s won a hell of a lot of admirers because of it - myself included. Jackson might be a tad undersized for NFL tastes to play inside - but nobody has told him that, and i’m pretty sure ball carriers respect his physicality and aggression when he introduces himself at the point of contact. There is a little bit of a contradictory feel to Jackson’s eval, in that he has the speed to operate as a WILL linebacker (where his size is less of an issue), but his tackle range is much more suited on the interior where his presence is harder to avoid. Jackson comes with considerable special teams pedigree that will allow him to make an instant impact at the next level, whilst a coaching staff decides how he can contribute on defense.”

If Kwon is re-signed, it'll be moot, but after a terrific Day 1, Saints have shat their hat Day 2, Day 3...

Like to know who beat the table for a LBer that likely won't have a veteran contract...

Some amazing talent is still there...
Nobody else has drafted Matthew Butler either. He wouldn’t still be available if he was that guy.

True, just reflecting on it; there's gotta be some red flags that are not in public purview; that's where we're at a disadvantage...

But film and athleticism suggests otherwise...

Very explosive, undersized… He’ll be a backup weak side LB and a good special teams guy.

Man, we could've selected Kyle Phillips and had him in the slot this fall...

Maybe we have no desire to have Kyle Phillips playing in the slot for us.

Re: 2022 NFL Draft: New Orleans Saints
We should not have gave up 3 picks to move up 5 spots to draft Olave that jump was unnecessary and too much. The second rbd pick from Ten I don't have clue what their intentions are the LB Appalachian st? We should have traded back with the 16th pick racked up on more picks to fill holes now no RB nO TE 1 WR No DT Saints failed this draft on paper I'm sorry
