2022 NFL Draft: New Orleans Saints

One more quick thing about the Alontae Taylor pick: with our head coach being a former DB coach and having Kris Richard in the mix… I’m inclined to trust their judgement on the player.

That’s what many don’t see.

The Saints know how to evaluate and identify DB’s.

Even if he only contributes to special teams in year 1, that’s huge. Not to mention he is versatile (CB/safety) & fast (4.36).

Alontea might be a baller

And the otherside of it is, Tennessee-Saints in-house connection and sometimes coaches can see more in a player than is there...

Saints got glowing reviews from their Nebraska connection and Payton wanted his Richard Sherman, but we got Stanley Jean Baptiste...

That said, hope my outlook for the player becomes golden and he proves to be a great player, my criticism is Draft Management, reaching on a pick...
