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

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.

Re: Mock Drafts 2023

I've narrowed it down to these 3 positions on Day 1 of the draft.

WR, TE, and DL.

DT/DL and OG in first two rounds, IMHO.

I don't even see him as a Day 1 selection.

He looks better suited in a 3-4 defense TBH.

We should find out which team the author supports .. then do a mock draft with Stetson Bennett as a first rounder pick for his team.



He's a KY Wildcat alum... So very likely a Saints hater .
