After all, Waller and Moreau and even Jared Cook did well with Carr on the Raiders. God willing, there's also a shot Moreau signs with us after beating lymphoma and fills out the TE room. The UCLA RB is tempting and wouldn't be bad, but I'd love to see us stay on defense and draft for value and take S Drake or CB Porter Jr, Ringo or DJ Turner. As I posted the other day, we almost always seem to crush it drafting DB's. |

Re: Official 2023 Saints Draft Thread
No complaints here with Bresee. We address a position of need in a area of need. We've had trouble stopping the run and Bresee is a big h'fer with a ceiling he hasn't really tapped into in college. I do wish Nielsen was still here to work with him but Grantham has a ton of experience that we should be fine.
If we took another DT later on in the mid rounds I would not be surprised. I'm not opposed to trading up in the second round either. |

Re: Official 2023 Saints Draft Thread
Another big guy on the line at 6'5" and this guy is quick. He's been through a lot over the past couple of years including losing his little sister to cancer. The hard times make a person stronger in life and I'm hoping that Bresee has the mental strength that matches his physical abilities.
Strong pick and the Saints didn't lose any draft picks... so far. |

Re: Official 2023 Saints Draft Thread
CB's Joey Porter jr. and Brian Branch are still available. So are some solid looking TE's in Darnell Washington and Michael Mayer (please stay away from QB Will Levis)
I wouldn't be surprised if the Saints picked Steve Avila or O'Cyrus Torrence with the next pick. |
