We haven't traded up yet? Is it safe to come out of the bunker?

Might get your wish... Still no TE, WR, G, or S taken. And saints are ten picks away. Only 2 DTs off the board .

About another hour and a half.

A lot of talented prospects still available …

In 2020 the Saints picked Ruiz in the 1st round
In 2021 the Saints picked Payton Turner in the 1st round
All of those picks surprised me at the time.

I wasn't surprised with any lineman picks in the first round. The Saints motto is you win in the trenches. It's my motto too. You win the trenches baby! Skill players are available on day two like AK, Thomas, and Lattimore.
Hopefully, 'm ready to sleep after we draft a dynamic DT. Maybe we take care of that tonight. If not, I won't be sleep deprived for a couple of more days. If necessary, I can wait for the second round or third round.

Bryce Young is going to Carolina. Three out of four top picks were QB's and there has been a run on D-Line. Some players are dropping. We may not move up in the first round with the players dropping.

Would the Saints really take Hooker here? If Miles Murphy were still on the board, I'd say no. Now, I'm not sure.
