Re: Official 2023 Saints Draft Thread

Did y'all notice we took most of the clock before making the call to Bresee? I think Bresee was definitely who they wanted, but they probably took a few calls from other teams wondering about moving back into the 1st round. I don't think they were willing to take the chance of losing out on Bresee. The late research I've done on him points to him being a perfect fit in terms of need, talent, style of play, and character.

Love the pick!

Re: Official 2023 Saints Draft Thread

I like that Bresee was home watching the draft with family. Probably means nothing but to me it’s a better optic than getting all dressed up to go sit and wait around for 4+ hours to hear the POS Commissioner call your name in that clown show.

Side note, did people see that BS with Philly’s second pick? Some chumps come out and spend 5 minutes to flip a fake coin? Luckily I had sound off.

Re: Official 2023 Saints Draft Thread

I was initially against spending a first rounder on him mainly because of the injury history, but after digging a little more I read that it was back in 2021. Since then it seems to have healed fine. I listened to an interview with him this morning and he claims he’s 100% healthy and no lingering issues, so I feel much better about the pick. If he stays healthy and improves with good coaching, he’ll be a really good player for us. I love that he’s really good against the run because we need it, especially now that Bijan is in the division.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Saints picked Steve Avila or O'Cyrus Torrence with the next pick.
IIRC Branch, Torrence & Porter were projected to be gone on Day 1.

Lots of quality is still available tonight. Maybe a trade-up?

I like Keion White (edge).

He's definitely a goner tonight.

Oh, I forgot one position ...

WR (Hyatt, Mingo). Possibly MT's replacement.

Joey Porter Jr., CB, Penn State
Michael Mayer, TE, Notre Dame
Brian Branch, S. Alabama
Keion White, DE, Georgia Tech
Sam LaPorta, TE, Iowa
Drew Sanders, ILB, Arkansas
Darnell Washington, TE, Georgia
Luke Musgrave, TE, Oregon State
John Michael Schmitz, C, Minnesota
Adetomiwa Adebawore, DT, Northwestern
Steve Avila, G, TCU
Jalin Hyatt, WR, Tennessee
Tyler Steen, OT, Alabama
Jonathan Mingo, WR, Ole Miss
Cam Smith, CB, South Carolina
Cedric Tillman, WR, Tennessee
Matthew Bergeron, OT, Syracuse
Josh Downs, WR, North Carolina
Byron Young, OLB, Tennessee
Rashee Rice, WR, SMU
Tyrique Stevenson, CB, Miami
Hendon Hooker, QB, Tennessee
DJ Turner, CB, Michigan
Ji'Ayir Brown, S, Penn State

The best G and S still are available. My best guess would be going to a G at 40. We need to think of the future there.
