Brock Bowers - TE Georgia
Saints have ignored the TE position for quite some time. You need more PLAYMAKERS to compete with the big boys on Sundays. |

Saints also need a legit replacement for Ramz.
This is a OLD team and people are still talking that "win now mode" for 4, 5 years now. It's time to rebuild this franchise with young studs. |

The Saints need legit playmakers all across the board. If this kid is rated the best on the scouts board and he is available, they select him ... so be it. This organization needs more quality starters on both sides of the ball. |

At pick #14, I think we'll have some good prospects available still on the board. |

We need quality starters. We need playmakers. I think we need those on the oline and pass rush most. But an argument I have made many times and I am convinced of is that TE is not a position where you can predict from college who the playmakers will be in the NFL at an acceptable rate. It's a uniquely unpredictable position. The last great 1st round TE to come out in the draft was Tony Gonzalez. Every 1st round TE in the 30+ years since has been a 'Meh' value for position drafted or a total bust and all the great TE's since Tony have been later round picks. The average value at dline or oline in the 1st round is massively higher than in say the 3rd-5th. For TE its a crapshoot no matter what would you pick in, so smart teams take TE in later rounds. If you look at the TE position in the last 40 years there is almost no relationship between round drafted and great players, whereas at other positions the odds of finding a great player drop exponentially with each later round. Being a successful TE in college translates to the pros more like being a successful college coach translates to the pros, not how success at dline or oline translates to the pros. Basically every college TE should be looked at like Mike Stoops or Chip Kelly. |

Oh don't leave out former 2nd rounder Foskey from last season either :rolleyes:. Who knows if he will pan out or not. Saints gotta hit home runs on this 2024 draft. |
