Could the Saints be looking for a Michael Thomas insurance policy in the 2023 draft?

Yes... They need to. Who they get depends on who falls down the draft in a supposedly deeper WR class.

Drafting Darnell Washington could help with that. Charbonnet is reportedly an asset in the passing game as well. Grab those two along with Kamara and Juwan Johnson along with our current wr corps and we can have some serious options outside of Mike if he’s not available.
We also have wr options to consider in FA after cuts.
Just throwing some different options out there…

So what you're saying is if a guy like Jonathan Mingo falls to us at the bottom of round #1 and he's the best available player on our board, he's our guy ?

If Mingo is there , he's not BPA on the board. Based on the mocks I've done so far , there are other position group ahead as t that spot.

Why do we need an insurance policy for our #3 receiver? Who are the insurance policies for Calvin Ridley, Julio Jones? Do the Eagles need an insurance polocy for Rashaad Penny?

We could still draft a WR at some point but a more dynamic TE, better LG, or more depth on oline would probably benefit our offense more. And in the 7th round, an insurance policy for Lutz?

The Saints would be crazy NOT to draft a WR in 2023. It's just a matter of which round they select.

After Olave & Shaheed, it gets really dicey + we have suspect depth at the position. You BUILD for the NOW and later.

When was the last time you looked at the Eagles WR/TE roster & depth chart? AJ Brown, Devonta, Quez, and a TE named Dallas Goedert

(see Philly in the 2022 Super Bowl).

We don't have that type of talent or depth at those positions.
