I can see that IF we don't make a multi-year commitment to veteran free agent like Carr, Mayfield, or Garoppolo before the draft. In that case I can see a developmental QB taken late and using all of the earlier picks on other needs.

2? Naw, the Saints need to spread the love around.

RB, TE, G, WR, S & LB.

The only position I would double dip on in the draft is on the offensive line. Otherwise, like you said, the Saints need to spread the love around and try to fill some of our other holes that are glaring needs.

3. Siaki Ika - DL, Baylor

PFF lists defensive line as the Saints’ biggest need, and Ika might be the best option available at pick number 29 or 40. In fact PFF predicts that Ika will be drafted by the Saints at pick number 40. This could be an excellent option for Loomis, making his combine performance very high stakes for the former Baylor Bear.

He intrigues me as we definitely need meat up the middle. He needs to get his weight in order though as that's a chronic concern.

Losing weight and keeping your weight under control is not what New Orleans is known for. We are known for fat tourists and delicious food, which includes Popeyes chicken sammiches.

That's exactly who I want. Get him down to the 330-335 range a let that monster eat. Conditioning will be the key to his success.

Gervon Dexter, Florida (mid-rounds) DT

Stout run stopper.

I wonder what former Gator coach, newly hired Saints D line assistant Todd Grantham has to say about this one? Hmm ...

Anthony Richardson - QB Florida
Projected Day 2 selection

Not a pick I'd like however he could gain some "buzz" depending on his Combine and subsequent Pro day.

	Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the privilege. All little common sense goes a long way.
