The Falcons would consider it because their GM comes from the Mickey Loomis tree. Lattimore has minimal value because he has become unreliable and less elite and is aging, but teams will sometimes trade next years 1st to move up to 14. With the Falcons we might have to take their 2nd rounder and a 1st and 2nd next year.

Brian Thomas Jr. - WR
LSU

Does Klint add (rd2) another weapon on offense?

And we know how well LSU WRs transition to the NFL.

As long as this Thomas plays with heart and purpose, and doesn't complain about his toe or sprain; as opposed to that other dude that wears number 13.

We don't need another WR. We need oline and pass rush. If we want another receiver, find the next AT Perry in the 6th or the next Rasheed Shaheed as a rookie free agent.

We shall see though.

I think it's between the ears.

Of course you do.

Saints could certainly use a big-bodied WR who can also BLOCK & fill the Thomas void & I wouldn’t rule this position in Free Agency either.

New OC in town with a different mindset for the offense.

Competition is needed and necessary in NOLA.

AT Perry isn't a great blocker. Neither is Olave or Sheed. We need a big bodied, contested catch, blocking, physical WR and I wouldn't be surprised to see it addressed early in the draft.

And we need a new QB. And a new Head Coach. And a new General Manager. And a new Owner (not necessarily in that order).

Nothing controvesial about that at all. To be honest it would be hard for him to play worse than what he did at the guard position. But at LT he actually looked serviceable.

Receivers dont win championships. See Kansas City.

Also I think AT Perry is a better blocker than Trevor Penning. And blocking is more crucial in Pennings position. So I would go with oline.
