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

For me, when I updated the Roster Outlook Depth Chart with Olave and Penning that it really hit me how good that first round was for us... |
