My analysis is somewhat biased here. He was a wrecking show here in Dallas (Desoto High) & a disruptor down at Texas.
Has scored TWICE on offense, once rushing & once RECEIVING.

Big 12 DL of the year

We’ve ALL seen what happens when you bring heat up the middle.
Instant pressure can blow up run and passing games. Byron has shown the consistent ability to destroy pockets & take QBs off their spots.

Super talented & eager to learn and get better.

Not sure if he makes it to Day 2, but if so I’d be curious to see what the Saints do if he is there @ pick 45.

I'm not sure if he'll make it to number 14.

Interesting thoughts leading up to tomorrow night.

Could be a smokescreen but Loomis sounds as if trading up (he mentioned moving up 6 or back) isn’t out of the question & they could select another position besides OT?

Doesn’t appear as though they are done in Free Agency as well.

Re: Official 2024 Saints Draft Discussion

Well James Hurst has just retired so that leaves a offensive line something like

Penning - Saldiveri - McCoy - Ruiz - Young

and a reserve of

Udoh - Evans - X - X- Kramer

And a broken Ramczyk who at best will probably start the season on IR, if not miss the whole season and retire next year

So it going to be O-line early and should be often. Don't think they can mess around and trade back and take a more project and hope for more picks.

So, it seems that most are expecting a OL pick in the first round...

BUT....

if Nix or Penix fall to 14, do you take them?

Penix better be able to run and avoid contact if they drafted him over a lineman. Because that line would be lucky to stop a college team

James Hurst hasn’t been all that great last several seasons.

The timing of this announcement is crazy though.

Dude ran an unofficial 4.46/ 40! That's legit speed. Word is he looks for the throws and rarely runs. But if he can be taught WHEN to run (ie. Jackson) he's going to be special.

I think Penix will fall close to, or into the 2nd round. No world in which I’d draft Bo Nix.

All times are GMT -5. The time now is 12:19 AM.
