Actually I harbor no hard feelings and I do not follow racist who are full of hate. But to see you getting away with racist quotes on your page is sickening. We are all equal in Gods eyes. How would people feel if someone posted a quote from Hitler, David Duke, John Crow, Chi, or Mao? This should be a page for Football and not hate. I challenge you to take it down. Post something From MLK Jr. or Billy Graham. Stop adding to the division.

I send this to you from a Parish named after him. Are you okay with the country paying homage to someone who was full of hate and who would have seen MLK as inferior to him? I have a strange feeling he's okay in your book, and that's fine. Do you. Just know I've lived 35 years in a country that honors people that committed Hitler-esque atrocities with monuments and namesakes. It's cool. I take it in stride.

So nah...I'm good on that. Long live Stokely Carmichael aka Kwame Ture. He fought an admirable fight during a turbulent time in this nation.

But I'll oblige you and post a quote from MLK.

“No amount of gold could provide an adequate compensation for the exploitation and humiliation of the Negro down through the centuries. Not all the wealth in this affluent society could pay the bill. Yet a price can be placed on unpaid wages." - MLK

Again, Happy Mardi Gras.

I know this might be an unpopular choice, especially since we need O and D line, but I’m pretty intrigued by Nick Emmanwori- safety from North Carolina.
He’s built like a smaller linebacker (6’ - 220 lbs), and would be a nice physical presence on the back end. He looks good on tape and did well at the combine too for whoever cares about that

Nick is actually a big dude. 6’3 to be exact & he’s actually from South Carolina.

Really good in run support & is fast (4.38). I think he will rise in the draft after that combine showing.

Probably gone on Day 2.

You’re correct, South Carolina. Sorry, brain fart.

I doubt he’ll get out the first round. If we happen to trade back and pick him up later in the first, I wouldn’t be upset about that. Hell I’d be fine with him at 9.

I was hell bent on selecting O or D line help with our first pick, but a few other players are starting to catch my attention. Saints fan 1976 mentioned Tyler Warren, and I’m really starting to come around on him as well.
Another guy that grabbed my attention that may be there in the second is Omarion Hampton- RB North Carolina.

Took a quick glance …Saints have 6 picks in the first round 4 rounds.

It’s imperative to make the most of them, not thinking next year but planning for seasons to come.

Time to select the best players we can get on BOTH sides of the ball.
I’m not so certain our current draft “strategy” is good enough. We need better player profiles of the players new HC Moore wants.

All 32 teams have “hit” & “misses”, but this time, we need more IMPACT than what we’ve gotten on early (1st & 2nd rounders) picks like Penning, Turner, Ruiz, Foskey, etc).

I’m really curious and hopeful that Foskey will come alive with this new scheme, coordinator , and coaching.
Maybe it might work out for us like Baun did for the Eagles

I can't lie, I think this might be the right approach. I was dead set on taking an offensive tackle at 9 but we need the best players we can get regardless of position with every pick.

Speaking of Baun, have you seen his new Eagles contract

3 year/51 with 31M guaranteed. Good for him, always liked Baun.

Dennis Allen had no vision for the player.

I hope you’re right about the new coaching regime in NOLA & Foskey

Wow, didn’t see that. Well he definitely earned it. I hate that we lost that guy
