Lots of 3rd round left to move back up for the Saints.

Well poop. Not what I wanted. We could trade prob a 6th rounder for swift and do just as good. We had a legit te to take

We may already have all the legit TE's we need.

Reading up on him seems strange considering theyve just brought a bigger back in. Little impact as a third down back, can't run away from linebacker.

I found it interesting that several RB are rated AHEAD of him.

He had 4th round grades

Only 20 years old so he has time to develop. We’ll see.

Yeah,it's not a complaint just found it a strange pick considering the Williams pick up. I do like how Allen/Ireland/Loomis seem to be looking to add a physical nasty streak through both sides of the ball though. I've always felt just following the crowd into the fast playing,passing format for offense is a mistake. Teams are playing with smaller and faster players so go big and run them over

I was thinking to myself that Miller has some redundant traits that we already have on the roster. He’s been injured so it’s hard to gauge how explosive of an athlete he is. One thing we know for sure, the Saints don’t shy away from players who’ve been injured and let that affect their decision on who to draft.

I know I may not have a popular opinion but I would trade a certain rob and wr. Hope we get good and use those picks to replace them. We pay too much for both. I really wanted a sweet og.

What do we think of troutman?

Trautman? With Carr under center all of our TE's can take a huge step forward. Juwan Johnson, Trautman, Taysom, and let's not forget Lucas Krull.
