Re: 2022 NFL Draft: New Orleans Saints
Who cares Olave doesn't equal SB. ANY of those WRs taken in the first would have just fine.

Re: 2022 NFL Draft: New Orleans Saints
Fine for who? Perhaps for you, but apparently not for them. They put far more hours into this process than any of us. I trust they have a better idea of what is best for them than any of us.

Re: 2022 NFL Draft: New Orleans Saints
We will see. Obviously the Saints didn’t see it that way. I’m not a big fan of the way they have historically traded up. I am on record saying the Davenport pick was a mistake (pick not the player). However, in this case, after an early run of Defensive players drafted, the picks were all OTs or WRs. I’m guessing the team had high grades on 2 or 3 of each. Once those started to dwindle they secured what they wanted. I hope it works out. Don’t you?

Re: 2022 NFL Draft: New Orleans Saints
I'm saying if he doesn't turn out to have a Justin Jefferson or Jamar Chase impact it wasn't and trading up for him is telling me that's how the Saints felt

Absolutely hate giving up picks to move up, but DA's sights were on Olave and that was just gonna happen... I did show on a previous post how using the more contemporary trade chart that both teams got good value... https://blackandgold.com/saints/1018...tml#post951051 (2022 NFL Draft: New Orleans Saints) Personally, I'd rather have nabbed an elite CB after Penning, even a QB (Corral and Pickett were my favs) or we could have gotten an elite DL... And I'd taken R2 to take Alec Pierce, and drafted one, even two more complementary WRs to spread the field... But Michael Thomas and Chris Olave are already one of the elite WR duos in the league now.... https://thedraftnetwork.com/prospect-rankings https://thedraftnetwork.com/player/c...ave/qaG1ZdTDRw https://www.nfl.com/prospects/partic.../all-colleges/ https://www.nfl.com/prospects/chris-...9-01a521202e2f https://www.profootballnetwork.com/2...rankings-more/ https://www.profootballnetwork.com/c...g-report-2022/ https://walterfootball.com/draft2008P.php#2022positions Don't subscribed to ESPN, so I haven't listed what Kiper and Co have to say... |
