Re: Saints trade up to No. 11 to draft Ohio State receiver Chris Olave
 

So essentially the Saints gave up the 16, 98 & 120 to move up. Olave just looks so damn smooth, relaxed and composed. I understand the NFL is a different animal but he checks a lot of boxes translating to the Pros at a skill position.

Having potentially 2 impact players on rookie deals ? ... I'm ok with that.

I hope that these two young men tear it up in the league.

More than that, really. Like Mr. Smashmouth posted:
Huge gamble but I feel pretty good about it.

Jaboo to Olave on the deep ball!!!

So we gave up depth for quality.

Dennis knows that this is his last rodeo as HC & he's aggressive. This is what teams do when they aren't filled in Free agency. Saints are essentially getting a high quality WR for 18M total over 4 years. Today's WRs are getting paid (see Kirk). On the surface, Olave at 11 is a good value.

Stud WR & OTs are hard to come by at this level.

My reasoning on "what we gave up" just comes from a different angle.

3+ years from now, we'll know if it was the right decision or not.

But of course, I'm just a couch GM :p.

The Saints must have really screwed up because they haven't drafted the guys I wanted them to for a long time this time they got 2 guys I wanted them to get... So I finally got it right or they screwed up.
