Maybe the Saints will make a way to draft 2 players in Rd2?

I threw the safety scenario in the mix because we still need to fill the Ceedy Deuce position (long-term) by round 3 ... without the distractions of course.

I know, I know ... crazy a$$ scenarios but I'm just a couch GM/SCOUT/medical professional and Head Coach .

BTW, I'm on the Darnell train as well

Notable TE's waiting on the call - Day 2 of the 2023 draft ...

Luke Musgrave - Oregon State
Michael Mayer - Notre Dame
Darnell Washington - UGA
Sam LaPorta - Iowa

I think we go Special K from Tech or Branch or Porter at CB. I think we wait until later to pick TE maybe the 3rd, but we could get best RB or either Levis or Hooker if available! QB out of UCLA later in the draft if we don’t get one before then!

If any combination of Washington(TE), White(DE), Avila(G), Torrence(G), or Branch(S) are there at 40, that would be a very difficult choice to make if I’m GM

Good thing they have already got that figured out. If you had spent the past few weeks drilling down on all of those players and hashed through it all with your expansive staff your choice come tonight would probably be pretty easy, too.

Then again, the plan may not be to wait until #40 if one of those, or someone else, is their primary target.

I just hope they get whomever it is they want!

If they found a trade partner to move back a little and gain another pick in the 2nd or 3rd round I think they'd be able to pick up a couple of solid players. Maybe one of the Guards and one of the TE's?

Cody Mauch at 40 for me.

Nice.

IIRC, you nailed the Bresee pre-draft pick as well (76' called it).

Yep, it's time to find Peat's replacement in the 2023 draft.

Him and Penning on the left side of the line just sounds down right dirty. No nonsense just run people over and grind them down. Kamara and Williams would have a field day running behind them
