Should either START or get in rotation as rookies.

Bryan Bresee was a solid 2023 selection. He’s looks like the truth.

I hope we can get a monster DT in the draft to pair with him

I don't know what we are doing at the DT position. Drafting another seems like too much. We restructured both Saunders and Shepard. Bresee flashed as a backup. Roach had the highest PFF rating by far but is perhaps an afterthought because we are broke so you don't keep the best man you keep the one you can't afford the dead cap to cut. Drafting the position again before we really know what we have in last years 1st round pick seems insane.

Well Bresee led DTs in sacks with 4.5, so I’d say thats a little more than just flashed. He has shown he’ll be a force with a great future as long as he stays healthy. Saunders and Shepard are fine for now, but in a couple of years it’d be nice to have two young studs anchor that position for the future while adding to the DE position.

I hope the best for Bresee. But realistically I think we need to hold off on the annointing oil. Truth is he was neither a bust nor breakout. 4.5 sacks is nice but not enough sample size to prove anything great. It’s equivalent to Trequan Smith’s 5 receiving TDs as a rookie, as sacks and receiving TDs are similar scarcity. Bresee’s pff score was like 50. He needs to start before we even start getting too excited.

Man not gonna lie…it’s still early but as of now I’m pretty high up on grabbing Dallas Turner if he’s available at 14. He might be better suited for a 3-4 scheme, but man I think he would be great not only as a LB to take over for Davis, but great at going get the qb. I feel like he’s gonna be a force.
But I only want him if Jared Verse isn’t available.
I’m thinking they might go offense being we spent last two top pics last year on defense.

I'm with you there but I don't think he "fits" the prototype size (240 lbs) Allen prefers coming off the edge. Those Bama/LSU/Florida players transition well on the defensive side of the ball though.

I just hope we don't over look another impact player (Patrick Queen) in favor of offensive lineman (Ruiz

) ... 2020 draft.

We'll see.

I read he was closer to 260, but some of those sites aren’t always accurate.
I’m thinking even at 240 he’d still be as effective as a pass rusher from the LB position kinda like what they do with Baun who sits at 220.
Either way, LB is something we’ll need soon imo so why not now.
I just hope he doesn’t go to Atlanta being they’re going to a 3-4 scheme

Lol, Brian Bresee is promising & has TALENT.

Saints have more pressing issues to deal with …

Defensive end & tackle.

AsylumGuido · 02-28-2024, 09:43 AM

Here's my guy. I have followed his career at NCSU (my school) and he's a stud. Sideline to sideline, tackling and coverage skills. Remember this name. Payton Wilson.
