There is a good chance 95% of the guys listed here will be available @ #14. Most are projected as Day 1 starters.

The OL talent pool is deep in 2024.

Olu Fashanu is the guy for me. He’s one of the only ones projected to be a sure-fire, LT. If he’s not there at 14 I’d say move back a few spots, pick up some extra picks, and draft J.C. Latham or one of the other projected RT’s. Then I’d pick up somebody like Patrick Paul in the 2nd round if he’s there.

Fashanu hasn't allowed a sack in 328 snaps in 2023! That's the definition of a Brick Wall! Wow!

So what Nick is really saying is that the Saints cannot afford to miss on either of their first two draft picks.

I disagree that the Saints can't afford to miss on either of their first two picks. It's completely possible to offset a miss on an early pick by hitting on a late pick. If we keep all four of our 5th rounders and one of those 5th rounders is the next Carl Nicks or Jahri Evans, or we find a Kittle or Purdy or Colston, but we miss on the 1st rounder, we will be fine. Any pick can be a miss, but by convincing yourself you 'can't afford to miss' on a particular pick you end up trading up to get a 'can't miss' player that doesn't exist, and missing the opportunity for second or third chances. I would say the Saints can't afford to limit their opportunities by trading away picks.

All depends on how the draft falls.

I doubt we have a shot to get him, but Payton Wilson is big time on my wish list.

If Keon Coleman or Michael Penix are there at 45 I think I’m making a luxury pick.
