Nolan Smith - DE
Georgia

No guarantees Davenport stays in NOLA & Payton Turner has been underwhelming or injured :rolleyes:.

Oh & Cam Jordan will be 34 years of age at the start of training camp. Iron man can't play forever.

Would you pay MD $23 million a year? :bugeyes:

Re: Mock Drafts 2023
 

Is that what Spotrac believes his "worth" is? IMO that's pretty steep for a guy who has enormous ability yet hasn't played a full season since being drafted 5 seasons ago.

By the way, he disappeared in 2022.

I'd like to have MD back for 2023 but on a team-friendly contract - full of incentives.

Now if his agent is requesting ridiculous, stupid money, allow him to get paid elsewhere but hey, I'm just a couch GM :cool:

Re: Mock Drafts 2023
 

While he did have his pinky amputated , for reasons that remain still unclear to us, he wants what his agent says he can get. His loss of pinky didn't speed him up. JP Pierre seemed to still perform well sans fingers . If I'm the Saints, I let him get that pain and suffering contract somewhere else.

We might also get a compensatory pick outta this.

Re: Mock Drafts 2023
 

The portion of the finger was amputated because a plate he had installed due to a break broke itself. The broken plate caused an infection. Apparently he was informed it could remain a problem moving forward and removing it would not only insure the issue would be gone, he would get back on the field sooner.

Nolan Smith's combine numbers were straight stupid. Mercy. He certainly made an extra million or two from it.

Re: Mock Drafts 2023
 

0.5 sacks and 29 tackles in 15 games last season. Woof. He needs to take that lack of fire somewhere else, I don't know what Payton and the front office were thinking with that pick but it's 5 years later and he still hasn't made an impact.

Sadly it seems like Payton Turner is following the exact same route too.
