Turning Attention to the Draft

saintsfan1976 · 01-08-2025, 06:55 AM

Luther our true #1 WR takes heat off Olave, extends his career

Deone a true space eater to shore up the middle

Emory will excel at Guard

Ollie is a poor man's Derrick Henry. Watch.

Keon with a year under Matthieu will become a solid, versatile safety

Cam. Unmatched energy. Move him to FB who can catch and run like Heath Evans.

Smael is smart + athletic and needs to refine skills but situational guy who has elite speed (4.4).

DeMonte. power, intelligence, punch. I love him opposite Deone and Breese

Barryn. New Orleans kid. In 2 years he'll be a nice situational chess piece off the edge.

Emery Jones Jr.OT LSU

90
Kevin Winston Jr. S Penn State

Jared Ivey EDGE Mississippi

129
Kyren Lacy WR LSU

253
Damien Martinez RB Miami (FL)

Very good chance lacy never sees the field in the NFL. Rumor has it they have very good evidence against him. Even if it is negligent homicide he’s going away for awhile. Anyone who wastes a pick on him is stupid. There’s a kid from UNLV and Horton from Colorado state will be fine pickups

Trade Derek Carr for Joe Milton.

I don’t hate the idea, but I don’t think the Pats wouldn’t want Carr in exchange unless the draft pick tagged along with the deal would be high enough.
I think Milton and Rattler would make a good competition. I’m not ready to give up on Rattler yet. I’d love to see what he can do with an upgraded healthy OL and receivers. Way too many drops when he was in

Colston Loveland - TE
Michigan

POSITIVES
— Plus-level athlete for his size, good post-catch burst and acceleration.
— Outstanding catch radius to attack the ball at its highest point.
— Good route runner from a multiple alignments.
— Vertical speed to threaten the seam off play-action.

NEGATIVES
— Working on maintaining proper leverage and pad-level in the run game.
— Continuing to mature and grow into his body, adding muscle to his frame.

Early Day 2 grades

So neaux former basketball players we can take three years to mold?

Mike Green - DE
Marshall

“The Saints ranked third to last in yards allowed last season, so they have to improve on that side of the ball. New head coach Kellen Moore saw the impact a dominant pass rush can have on a squad during his time with the Eagles. New Orleans selects Green, a very polished and productive rusher.”

I'm afraid this would be a mistake. We're all guessing on these players, but he reminds me so much of Davenport. I just think we need to stick with players who produced against top programs in the first round.

We have seen the small school first round picks become disappointments with the Saints.

Marcus Davenport - UTSA
Peyton Turner - Houston
Trevor Penning - Northern Iowa

Big school guys could under perform as well, but why repeat the same things that have failed?

Mykel Williams EDGE
Georgia

“The Saints need a lot of help on the defensive line at this point, and if Michigan's Mason Graham were available, he'd be the easy call for New Orleans at No. 9 overall. But that isn't likely to be the case, as I see him going fifth to the Jacksonville Jaguars.
As such, with the ninth overall pick, I see the Saints going with Georgia edge rusher Mykel Williams, who was a two-time Second-Team All-SEC selection with the Bulldogs”.
