Re: Official 2023 Saints Draft Thread

I don't understand all the love that was shared the last few days over this Darnell Washington guy at TE. I suppose since he was on the championship team he got some exposure. As I said before, I don't follow college ball much at all so I'd never seen anything about him. From all the stuff I've seen after the draft he's basically an inline TE that describes himself as "a sixth offense lineman". Talk around here included taking him at #40, meanwhile the rest of the NFL let seven other TE's go before him while he wasn't taken until #93 by the Steelers. The guy scored THREE TD's in his entire career at Georgia while averaging only 1.67 catches per game.

I want weapons, not an oversized Tre'Quan Smith that only plays sparingly in 12 personnel.

Re: Official 2023 Saints Draft Thread

I’m really curious to know who they wanted to trade up for. Wonder if it was for the player that ended up falling to them anyways or someone else

Day 3

Hopefully it’s a guard or WR.

I'm guessing someone else. Or more precisely, someone in addition to who they got. I'll bet they were hoping to move back into the second after having got their target, Foskey. Maybe Cody Mauch or that Charbonnet kid.

What the Saints Could Do on Day 3

Assuming nothing changes, the Saints will have five picks to make on the final day, which includes an early Day 3 selection at No. 115. New Orleans tried to do some trading yesterday, but it didn't work out. This could be the day to see them move up, as there's plenty of good talent to grab in the 4th and 5th Rounds today.

Interesting list …

Re: Official 2023 Saints Draft Thread

Blackandgold nation, I think we somehow got through to Mickey. We need to have these "need-based" drafts more often, and then like one out of every 3 years I'll allow the "fall in love and move up and be risky" draft!

Re: Official 2023 Saints Draft Thread

Sweet! We just traded up to the first pick in the 4th round today!
