We draft a guy like Landon Young and people think he’s going to be our starting LT of the future and one year later we’re using a first rounder on a LT. Stop stressing about day three picks.
Thank you, Chris.

Kaden Ellis David Onyematta Paulson Adebo Trey Hendrickson Al Qadim Muhammad CJCG Troutman to name a few all were in the third round AK and Anzalone all 3rd round players. Contributors to the Saints currently or for another team at this moment . Indirect assumptions Landon Young ? Who mentioned Landon Young as an example I know the 3rd has been one of the Saints most successful rounds for drafting players in recent years and we traded both of them away. You can take your opinion and sit it right next to Landon Young wherever he may be

Re: 2022 NFL Draft: New Orleans Saints

For what it's worth, the Saints gave up the most punt return yards in the league last season. These picks in the mid to late rounds of the draft addressed that. Alonte Taylor should be a good gunner and I'll bet that we'll see a lot of Smoke on Special Teams this season.

Can’t help but wonder if that most return number given up is offset a bit how far Giliken boots his friggin kicks !?

When you engage indirectly replying to the "cloud" that's what happens. I'm the only that voiced a difference opinion regarding the draft in this space. I mentioned the trading away ALL our 3rd AND 4th round picks. Someway somehow you flipped that to a Landon Young being the reason people are tied to DAY3 picks so let me correct you. ROUND 3 AND ROUND 4

You do what you need to do to make sure you get the player that you want. They didn't trade those picks away for laughs and grins. It appears they had Olave at the top of their board those picks were what was required to make the move.

Re: 2022 NFL Draft: New Orleans Saints

In a peculiar kinda way, I feel like the Saints got 3 1st rounders in this draft.

Olave, Penning & Payton Turner. How many games did he play in 2021? Like 3? Essentially a unknown.

He played in five, but only one of those after week five and only had 15 snaps on defense in that one. Never really had time to get his feet under him.
