Load up on that defensive front & oline.

In case you haven’t noticed, the offensive depth is poor in New Orleans.

Saints have far too many other needs.

So did Barry and LT. Look, I know it's a long shot but this kid is the real deal. Team him up with AK and Hill rotating in the backfield. That is a very scary thought for defenses. We have a rd 2 and 2 rd 3 we could load up on the lines.

Both are legends & neither sniffed a championship.

Everyone saying yes, we should draft him would be screaming next year about our lack of quality depth on the OL/DL (again).

RB is the easiest (if not one of the easiest) position in football to find a suitable starting-caliber player. Drafting Jeanty that high would set the Saints back even further.

Aside from all of that, Jeanty has a lot of mileage on him (as already pointed out), and he also doesn't seem to do much for you in the passing game.

Hard PASS.

You pair him with AK and limit his carries. Line depth in this draft is insane. You can find starting caliber tackle and guards in the 3/4. Quality d line all the way out in the 6th. You don’t pass up in a generational talent because you think he carried too much. 15 years ago 300 carries was typical.

I would bet he's already assembled a lot of his staff. Seeing many Saints assistants taking gigs elsewhere . Fresh eyes will be a breath of fresh air for the Saints.

Yeah. Been hearing his definitely been working on staff. As for those "current" Saints assistants, their days were numbered as soon as the turnover at the top took place.

No you absolutely don’t use the #9 pick on part time player to split downs with the most expensive skill position player on your offense. That is Terry Fontenot Falcons loser logic like when they drafted Blowjob Robinson when they already had a 1000 yard back or drafted Penixs after signing Cousins. Last year our top pick played almost every down and thats what we want a full time star. Star running backs are available in middle rounds of the draft and cheap in free agency or trade. Every draft is deep at RB. If this draft is deep at oline we should draft oline in the first and middle rounds so we have depth at oline for once. Jeanty may be a generational talent in FCS division II but we have no idea if he would have started in the SEC and even if he did we have seen this movie before with Ricky Williams, Reggie Bush, and Mark Ingram, 1st round RB is never the best pick. Let the Falcons draft him to pair with BJ and limit their carries.

Absolutely agree. Too many holes on the either side of the line to draft depth at another position.

When you need everything, you can draft anything. BPA in the first 3 rounds. Just no trading up and for Pete's sake no more reaching for contrarian RAS projects.
