2 RBs ?

Hmm

IMO we need to double down on the D and O line.

What are your thoughts on RB Bijan Robinson?

The kid from Texas.

Some have him graded as the best RB in this year's RB class. The comparison I hear a lot is Saquan Barkley. An every-down back.

If for whatever reason he falls to the bottom of the 1st, would you consider him?

Re: Mock Drafts 2023

Devon Achane
RB

Texas A&M

Shifty, compact & capable of taking it for 6 on any given play. Legit speed - 4.35 is probably a slow time for him.

Negatives - small frame & pass blocking will need improvement at the NFL level.

4th round grades

If he needs to work on his blocking that will probably drop him down the Saints draft board. The Saints love good blockers which can open up the YAC yards for the other receivers. If we do draft a receiver this year I think it will be a possession receiver to back up MT who has substantial injury concerns. If not a true possession receiver I could see us getting another burner to stretch the field. Olave isn't really a burner like Shaheed but he gets open down field on a regular basis.
