Official 2024 Saints Draft Discussion

AsylumGuido · 03-23-2024, 08:57 AM

It appears that some people are still confused as to our picks. He have nine, not seven. From the most recent story link above:

The New Orleans Saints currently have nine picks in the 2024 NFL draft. This is what they are:

Round 1, pick 14
Round 2, pick 45 (via DEN)
Round 5, pick 149
Round 5, pick 167*
Round 5, pick 169*
Round 5, pick 174*
Round 6, pick 189
Round 6, pick 198 (via PHI)
Round 7, Pick 239 (via DEN)
* - indicates a compensatory pick

I'd be shocked if we didn't use some of them to bundle and move up a bit. I also suspect we'll dip into 2025 picks, as well. They'll, of course. be the final picks in each round.

I would be happier if we went oline with every pick in our draft that if we went with another position in the first round. If some of the 5ths dont make the team, fine, competition is good. If they all show up, maybe cut or trade Penning or Sadeveri.

“We should” but this organization has no interest in putting legit competition behind Carmax.

Absolutely no chance Loomis & co are interested.

Sad really.

The hip-drop tackle was introduced to the league within the last couple of decades. Just ask Rugs, it came from rugby and has since been banned in rugby due to the rash of serious injuries involved. It is no less dangerous than the horse-collar tackle and from what I have heard even more likely to cause serious injury. The NFL is just correcting their mistake of adopting it, as well. From what I'm hearing it probably won't draw a penalty, but will result in a letter from the league and a fine just like some other infractions.

When the competitions committee votes unanimously you knows it's something that was a major concern.

Players are against it, officials won't call it, so what's the point?

The NFL wants increased scoring so they're going to turn the NFL into the NBA by playing no defense while implementing an MLB strike zone for tackling. You can't tackle high, you can't tackle low, and tackling from behind will be difficult.

Sounds like we're in for a treat.
