Re: Official 2024 Saints Draft Discussion
Word is my man, D.J. Burns of NC State doesn't translate well to the NBA, but could make a successful transition to the NFL. It's been done before. He's 6'9" and 275 pounds. He extremely quick with great hands and footwork. Very strong.

Re: Official 2024 Saints Draft Discussion
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. |

Re: Official 2024 Saints Draft Discussion
I hate to sound like a broken record, but almost all our effort should be put into finding a LT, LG, and RT via the draft. I’m taking two tackles and a guard as early as possible. We need to let Peat walk, but if he comes back they need to keep him at LT. He looks better there. Truth be told, we need to improve at both G positions but they gave Ruiz a bag so he’s there to stay. We need to be looking for Jahri Evans and Carl Nicks then the rest would fall into play. Guard-Center-Guard is the most important to me. It allows your QB to step up in the pocket and also gives you the ability to run the ball down the throat of a defense at will. It’s a MUST we have an elite offensive line. Better look at what Detroit did and how much they’re able to get out of Goff now because he has time.

Re: Official 2024 Saints Draft Discussion
I’ll be shocked if we don’t go offense line @#14.
Ramz should be filling out retirement papers & Penning smells like bust material. Only dawg left is Eric McKoy. Saints need a lot in 2024. |
