Very smart and versatile player. We’ll have to see what Dennis Allen says tonight about the pick, but I think safety is the vision.

I was wrong… Dennis Allen said he’ll play CB.

I suppose I should take DA at his word but I think the kid will see the field more as a Safety than a CB.

I just read (probably on this beloved site since you all are providing so much great information) that Taylor was a terrific gunner on Special Teams so we'lll likely get to see him play that role this season.

Coach Dennis want CONTRIBUTORS early on.

I don’t think he’s remotely interested in any of these remaining QBs.

Some fans are just gonna have to accept it.

Meanwhile GB picks Christian Watson at 34. Aaron Rodgers is happy now.

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...

QB Matt Corral to the Panthers.
