Well, the draft or free agency was the time to get better at the TE position if we were going for 'win now' and thought that was the key position. Now is the time where we would be flying grandpa in for a last minute visit on short notice rates if we try to make a splash at TE, bad timing. We have who we have. If thats a problem, we will either have more money and draft picks to fix it next year, or hopefully new decision makers next year to fix it if we go all in this year on grandpas and still fail.

I was very happy that we did not draft Bowers. I think IF he is good at a pro level, he probably doesn't stay healthy.

The Saints posted their depth chart.

One interesting thing I noticed on the depth chart is that Taysom Hill is listed only as the #4 QB and is not on the depth chart at any other position including FB, TE, WR, etc. Yet, some other players are listed in two places. I wonder if this is by accident or is the new offensive regime do not have confidence in Hill. I think Hill's best position is receiver. I don't think he is worth $10 million but I would trust him to get open and make a play more than Davante Adams or Cooper Kupps brother.

This is also ironic because the spirit of Hill's contract was he gets $25 million if he is a QB and $10 million if he is a TE. Now he is only listed at QB so if everyone else goes down he is theoretically making bank. Maybe Trevor Penning has one fan in New Orleans?

You are so wonderful! Keep it up, brother!

I'd cut my losses with Penning & Lucas Patrick is no better.

Like Mike Triplett stated in his report ... "he's bad, really bad and cost the team a TD". Slow feet is allowing 2nd tier DE (see video) to run right past him.

This is year 3 with the experiment. In live competition, it's only going to get harder for him.

My final 53 man prediction :bng:

--------------------------------------
--------------------------------------

QB (3) - Carr, Rattler, Haener
RB(4) - Kamara, Williams, Mims, and Miller (TCU Miller will go to IR & get another season to stay on ice in the medical tent :rolleyes: )
TE(3) - Johnson, Moreau, and Holker
FB(1) - Hill
WR(5) - Olave, Shaheed, Perry, Wilson, Means
OL (9) - Fuaga, Patrick, McCoy, Ruiz, Penning, Udoh, Hergel, Saldiveri, Young

Defense

DE (5) - Jordan, Granderson, Young, Turner, and Foskey*
DT (4) - Shepherd, Breese, Saunders, and Boyd
LB (6) - Davis, Werner, Gay, Orji, Jackson and Dowell (2 s/t tackles).
CB (5) - Lattimore, Adebo, Taylor, Kook-Aid, Payton
S (5) - Mathieu, Abram, Harris, Howden, and Gray

Special Teams (3) - Grupe, Hedley, and Wood

Saints need a better punter (32.3 net) .. < this gets you an L in close games.

Nice projections. My only change would be at punter where I believe DA will pull a Payton and cut both punters and grab one in free agency much like SP did with kicker Lutz. We shall see but there’s bound to be a better punter being cut somewhere. I might also see the Saints keeping Morgan at WR.

+1. Grab that dude from the niners who pinned the Saints inside their own 10 like about 15 times!

Baldy's breakdown on Rattler ...
Has he already surpassed JH for the #2?

How do you keep James Robinson out of the roster? He's shown way more than Mims, in my opinion.

Quick re shuffle :cool:.

AK, Jamal, Mims & Robinson. I like the “fit” in this offense for Mims.

Put TCU Miller on the PS.

I was never a fan of the Haener or Rattler picks. That being said, I think Rattler can be the better QB of the two.
