Saints picks in 2024
 

New Orleans Saints Draft Picks By Round

-Round 1
-Round 2 (via DEN)
-Round 5
-Round 6
-Round 7 (via DEN)

Looks pretty thin when you get this visual. We will have to strike gold on these picks considering they stay as they are.

Re: Saints picks in 2024
 

That high second round pick (I still think former 2nd rd Alontae T will become a quality starter) from Sean is nice to have.

Hopefully it's a quality STARTER.

But as you stated, Saints must hit on these draft picks.

Re: Saints picks in 2024
 

Thought we had like three 5th rounders or something.

Re: Saints picks in 2024
 

I think this is accurate.
Over The Cap finalizes comp pick projections, with good news for Saints

• Round 1, Pick 14.
• Round 2, Pick 45 (via Denver Broncos)
• Round 5, Pick 148.
• Round 5, Pick 167 (compensatory)
• Round 5, Pick 168 (compensatory)
• Round 5, Pick 172 (compensatory)
• Round 6, Pick 191.
• Round 6, Pick 200 (via Philadelphia Eagles)

Re: Saints picks in 2024
 

We have plenty of ammo to move up into rounds three and four.

Re: Saints picks in 2024
 

Here me out! ....

Trade pick #14 for a late 1st round, 2nd, 3rd rd pick.

There are quality starters out there @ G, DE, & tackle.

But yeah I know, the Mickster never trades down.

Re: Saints picks in 2024
 

Regardless of where we pick one we have to face the fact that we're not likely to get a day one starter at any offensive line position. That's a thing of the past these days across the whole league. But, you still need to draft them in hopes that they can be developed.

Re: Saints picks in 2024
 

Well my bad gents. I thought what I posted was up to date. Cast your stones at me. Tar & feathers all day :p

Re: Saints picks in 2024
 

Just missing the 7th rounder from Denver. Spotrac projects the comp picks slightly different than Over The Cap, but close enough. Won't know for sure until later on those.

Re: Saints picks in 2024
 

I checked and the article you posted corrected the list adding in the 7th rounder. ;)

Edit: Sorry, that was iceshack.

Re: Saints picks in 2024
 

We should trade down most years, IMHO. Our trade ups have rarely been justifiable.

Re: Saints picks in 2024
 

Grammatical error on my post ... "hear"

Re: Saints picks in 2024
 

Its a deep draft for O-linemen.

I think we should use a high pick on a pass rusher if available, then 2nd-4th rounds for O-linemen and D-linemen and LB with speed.

Re: Saints picks in 2024
 

Agreed.

Remember back in that final season ending exit interview Loomis basically saying he likes their position but if they need to "move up" they will?

Trade back, acquire more talent. We need it.

Yeah, it's time to change the philosophy for the 2024 draft.

Re: Saints picks in 2024
 

Unacceptable!!!!!! I call for a 6 month ban for this atrocity. The grammar police are in full force. :)

Re: Saints picks in 2024
 

It simply doesn't match their philosophy. Loomis has stated that they would rather go and get someone they specifically want over waiting to see who's there later. Let's just see how Ireland and his gang does this year. We all know Loomis isn't the one doing the player evaluations.

Re: Saints picks in 2024
 

As GENERAL MANAGER, what is it that he manages, generally?

Re: Saints picks in 2024
 

I here you.

Re: Saints picks in 2024
 

You're right, its Ireland's staff that ranks the college players. Loomis just pulls the trigger based on their board.

Parenton is the pro personnel director, I'd imagine he rates the NFL free agents

Loomis ain't at college games scouting players for us.:p


The staff...

Re: Saints picks in 2024
 

But our entire 2nd string offensive line is likely to see significant playing time, so if we get an active backup that helps too. Also historically our top offensive line draft picks have contributed sooner than our top defensive line draft picks, who have often contributed never. I hope we draft oline.

Re: Saints picks in 2024
 

"Historically" covers what span? Two, three, five, ten, twenty, fifty? More? Just wondering the parameters. Thanks in advance! :D

Re: Saints picks in 2024
 

“Historically” covers the span of time you spend conversing with or about people you set to IGNORE”.

Re: Saints picks in 2024
 

If I wanted to be specific I would have been. Everyone knows what I mean. With the way we whiffed on Foskey, Turner, and Davenport I would not worry too much about the possibility that an oline pick may not contribute immediately. At least some of our first round oline picks have been able to hold down a starting job the first year. When is the last time we drafted a dline who did that?

Re: Saints picks in 2024
 

No need to explain brother. Ramz started in all 16 games as a rookie & so did Erik McCoy. When I continue to say QUALITY DAY 1 starter, these are some of the players I'm referring to.

Some see what they want to see. But you're spot on with the defense ... WTFoskey, Davenport, Payton Turner were misses.

Saints MUST hit on their draft selections in 2024, especially those FIRST two.

Re: Saints picks in 2024
 

I don't believe we have "whiffed" on Foskey or Turner. Turner has looked good when he has been out there. Foskey is still young and could still develop into something good.

Re: Saints picks in 2024
 

....if pigs could fly... :beatnik:

Re: Saints picks in 2024
 

I might be wrong here but don't first and second round draft picks usually have high expectations? Should our picks develop sooner? Uhmmm......Yeah!!! :doh:

Re: Saints picks in 2024
 

+1.

Detroit 2023 draft picks - Jamar Gibbs, LaPorta, Brian Branch.

GB - Jayden Reed (see Saints game), Karl Brooks

Texans - CJ Stroud (ROTY), Will Anderson (DROY), Scruggs

Rams - Puka (5th rounder), Avila (started in all 17 games at guard)

^^ all rookies, all impact players coming out of camp.

I mention these teams because we took L's from every single one. You better start hitting on your draft picks, otherwise it's not going to be pretty.

Re: Saints picks in 2024
 

Straight fire K Major! :popcorn:

Re: Saints picks in 2024
 

It depends upon the position. Linemen commonly take longer to develop from everything I have read and heard. Especially since the NCAA rules have changed and the offenses have been dumbed down due to lack of allowed player access time. Twenty hours per week ... total! And that includes all gameday activities including lunch and breakfast.

Re: Saints picks in 2024
 

....it depends.... :rofl: :beatnik:

Re: Saints picks in 2024
 

The flag football at the Pro bowl is better than the game. Maybe it's the future.:rolleyes:

Re: Saints picks in 2024
 

Yeah, Paul Anderson, the great line coach, has mentioned several times recently how ill-prepared the players are these days coming out of college.

Re: Saints picks in 2024
 

Not sure about Foskey but Turner just needs to get and stay healthy.

Re: Saints picks in 2024
 

Foskey and Turner are interesting unknowns at this point. They may be solid contributors to our pass rush next year, or they may just stay injury busts. Players like them have typically overcome the injury bug after they leave New Orleans.

Re: Saints picks in 2024
 

Well, regarding Foskey ... I (maybe just me) had HIGH hopes of him coming out of a big time college program & making some sort of an impact as a rookie, especially considering he was a relatively high 2nd round draft selection (see Rams 2023 - 3rd rounder Byron Young).

IIRC, Duncan, Mike & Underhill were quite critical of his performaces @ training camp & subsequent pre season games. TBH, he showed a lack of hustle and technique. Struggled a LOT. For where he was drafted, he needs to bring his A game in 2024.

As for Turner, meh. He can't help if he's always injured & under the tent. This is year 3 for the former 1st rounder.

The QBs we face THIS season can all scramble and make those critical throws. If the Saints scouts can't start nailing their higher draft selections, maybe we need better National scouts.

To truly compete, you need more quality starters and pass rushers.

Cam Jordan is at the end of the road & Granderson needs legit help.

Re: Saints picks in 2024
 

Still got to give WTFoskey the benefit of the doubt at this juncture. But he needs to step up bigly.

Re: Saints picks in 2024
 

I agree Smash. Sometimes it takes a little time to become NFL tough. T-Rex is a prime example. I'm definitely expecting Foskey to come out strong in camp and make a good push for the starting gig, or at the very least, he needs to be a heavy rotational player.

Who Knows? Peyton might become NFL tough too if can get his training regime right and stay on the field. I've got to admit that he is pretty darn good when he's on the field.

Re: Saints picks in 2024
 

Tackle

We need two of em. Ramz should most likely retire, Penning is still a HUGE question mark & Peat could sign elsewhere.

Saints have SERIOUS issues on the o line for sure.

Drafting O LINE is probably top priority.
