I want nothing to with Caleb Williams.

I would like to see us trade back to grab a 5th pick in the 5th round. We could use depth at oline, dline, receiver, te, rb, lb, etc. If we spend two 5ths on TE, I think we are historically more likely to get an all pro caliber player than if we take Bowers.

Jordan Howden and AT Perry (technically a 6th) both had higher PFF scores than Bryan Bresee last year, and there are no limits to the great players we could get in the 5th.

With the depth at tackle in the draft, this is the first year in a long time the saints may trade back.

Sure.... why not.

I do like Pratt.

The real question I have is what does this staff think about Jake Haener?

Penix at #14?

If Penix drops to #45, then I take him without hesitation. Our greatest need is a stud OL though.

How many starting jobs left to fill for Saints?

https://saintswire.usatoday.com/list...024-nfl-draft/

Offensive line: 3

Current projected starter(s): Trevor Penning, James Hurst, Erik McCoy, Cesar Ruiz, Landon Young

This is a mess. Ryan Ramczyk couldn’t play a game tomorrow at right tackle after undergoing knee surgery, and the slower-than-expected recovery may keep him out for all of 2024. Trevor Penning needs to earn the left tackle job after being benched last season. James Hurst was a liability at left guard, too. The Saints could justify draft picks at any (or all three of) those positions. Right now, their top priority should be finding a top-tier tackle at either side of the line in the first round. The question is where to look first.





My take with three weeks until Round 1 kicks off:

Ideally we find a starter at tackle in the draft and it could be Left or Right.

At pick 14, I'm leaning drafting a Right Tackle like Fuaga or Latham to replace Ram.

Sign Mekhi Beckton to battle Penning at LT. It'll cost $10M per year. Minimum.

Resign Peat to play LG. Probably over-pay, but it is what it is.

Starting line: Beckton, Peat, McCoy, Ruiz, Fuaga/Latham.
Reserves: Penning, Young, Saldiveri, Late Round Pick

Then your line is set for 2024 with an emphasis on running.
