Kikaha, Baun, Davenport, Payton Turner's of the world …

IMO heavenly influenced Sean Payton "picks".

Re: OK Then... New Biggest Need
 

If any of these names fall to #20 (realistic), I'm making phone calls:

TE Myles Murphy
WR Quentin Johnston
DE Michael Mayer

Re: OK Then... New Biggest Need
 

Who do we have now at DE with Davenport gone?

Re: OK Then... New Biggest Need
 

Jordan, Kpassagnon, Granderson, Turner, and Jabari Zuniga.

Zuniga -

Ourlads' Profile:

2020 Guide: What Ourlads' Scouting Services said about JABARI ZUNIGA: Florida, 6033 264 4.64. Two-year starter, Marietta, GA. Started games all four years. Has been used as a versatile inside-out player who can take advantage of interior blockers and tackles. He has a style that may be too quick for guards and centers and too powerful for the tackles. The tools are there to be developed and the flashes on tape go to show there is a high ceiling of edge prospects in the class. He had a hard time staying healthy but if a team can pinpoint the right role for him and he can stay on the field, watch out. Built for the trenches, both inside and outside. Thick and powerful upper body with long arms and big hands. Thick from the waist to knees with basketball player calves and ankles. Versatile inside-out defender who has been equally productive from both spots. Has a stifling initial punch to the blocker’s chest with a low base, often standing the blocker up. Outstanding straight line burst in both tight areas and in space. Gets across gaps with urgency. Plays with different gears, shows the ability to close hard and fast. A violent finisher. Has flashed dominant traits all four years of his career. Has failed to consistently put things together, never quite lived up to the hype and potential. Will lose track of gap assignments at times. Plays an aggressive style that can sometimes come across as reckless and roaming. May be a player without a true position. Has durability issues. 2019 stats (6 games): 14 T, 7 TFL, 3 sacks, 1 QBH. Edge speed:left 1.97, right 2.12. OSR:2/25. Third/fourth round. (A-32 7/8, H-10 3/8, BP-29, 10-1.64).

He has an injury history and is another developmental player. Buyer beware.

Re: OK Then... New Biggest Need
 

I believe Carl Granderson is the guy.

Re: OK Then... New Biggest Need
 

Yup. Me too. If we do draft at the position I'm expecting them to be basically rotational depth. Moving on from Davenport should give Granderson a more prominent role and I believe he'll make an impact.

One thing that confuses me is how badly the defensive line has been dogged on their sack numbers. I've heard said that sacks are just as much a team stat as an individual stat. The Saints finished last season ranked 5th in the NFL in sacks as a team.

Re: OK Then... New Biggest Need
 

Nice season for CG in 2022 but the Saints better hope the lights come on for Payton Turner in 2023.

In my opinion, we need to aim higher at DE. Outside of Cam, we have a lot of depth players at the position.

Re: OK Then... New Biggest Need
 

I like the kid from Kansas State.

Re: OK Then... New Biggest Need
 

Speaking of DEs…I read saints met with Will Anderson who will most likely not get out of top 5 maybe top 10 tops You think they’d trade up that high for him? Why else would they meet with him?
