My worst fear is the Saints trading their 2025 1st round pick.

My second worst fear is the Saints taking Brock Bowers, or more generally I guess I don't think any team should ever draft a TE, RB, K, or P in the first round so I guess if we took a RB or a different TE I would be equally mad.

Logically we should draft oline, but I can't really expect perfection, so I am just hoping we dont mortgage the future or flush the pick down the toilet. I think if we used two of our 5th round picks on TE, we would be likely to land a great TE than if we took Bowers in the 1st round, because TE is so unpredictable that quantity beats quality in the draft every time.

I hope to god we don’t go TE with that first pick. Whether we go BPA or not, it should be for O or D line, and for both first and second picks at the least.
I don’t feel like we’re in the position to be picking luxury picks at this time, especially with high round picks.

So the former LSU grad at TE is no longer good to go?

Even with our history of drafting BPA I can see this year being the first year we stick to a real plan. We will never know if Carr is capable unless he has blocking. IMO, Fashanu is a lock at 14. If he is gone I see Mims or Latham.

Mickey Loomis has gone on record as saying “they won’t force a pick at OT”.

Smart move.

If their guy isn’t available, you can always get a lineman in rd 2.

Can you though, without having to trade up. If there's a big run in R1 then players who are second rounders will be gone before the Saints pick. You'll be reaching or trading up for worse talent.

I would be okay with that. Only issue I have is it appears we need a plug in day one starter.
