I have also heard that teams don't even visit with players that they already have decided to target. It makes sense.

That’s some M5/CIA interrogation level stuff…

There's been far more intrusive questions asked according to players. That's why the league nipped that in the bud.

Payton Turner better show out Granderson or we've just wasted another #1 DE pick

To be fair, Granderson was an UDFA prolly due to his legal troubles. He really should have been drafted . And yes, Turner needs to step up to justify his draft capital .

I see Street signed with the Eagles.

Not really a big loss for me. We need to upgrade anyways.

I feel like we've addressed most of our needs in free agency like we always do before the draft approaches so we can go BPA. Our biggest needs are still DT, DE, G, LB'er, safety, WR/TE, and RB.

Rugby Saint II · 04-02-2023, 02:12 PM

The strongest positions in the 2023 draft class are considered to be CB, TE, edge defender, WR, QB, interior defensive line, interior offensive line, OT, RB, safety, and LB'er. Almost all of these positions are wants or needs for the Saints this year.

This is one of the most promising TE classes in recent drafts but WR doesn't have very many #1 WR's like in years past. This year there a lot of complimentary WR's available throughout the draft. This might be the year of the second rounders like when we drafted CGM in 2016 and he shocked the world and lit up the scoreboard. Fingers crossed MT comes back healthy and can stay on the field.
