Turning Attention to the Draft

Mr.Riaton · 03-05-2025, 09:27 AM

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

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

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.
