DRAFT 2025 LIVE THREAD

Well not only was there smoke, a few draft pundits saw this happening. Hopefully he surprises us all. If our offensive minded HC green lit the pick, let’s get ready to roll.

I don't like the QB pick because there were a few EDGE rushers and Defensive Tackles right behind our QB pick. We need to rebuild offensive and defensive lines. Cam Jordan and others are NOT going to play much longer.

The argument against that will be in the next few years you have to replace Carr. Even average bridge QBs are getting paid 20-30ml a year. Better to spend a 40th pick and have a rookie QB the head coach thinks he can work with under a rookie deal and then find DE/CBs

Saints need a CB

Carr will NEVER play another down for New Orleans.
He moved to California after his injury last season, and he has never returned since then.

But he's still going to be paid themselves of millions over the next few years, playing or not.

So they needed a QB, Moore has likely picked his man. A QB on a rookie deal is still your best friend when roster building as its cheaper to get a CB/DE in free agency(not by as much as it used to be granted)

This theory only works if the QB on the rookie deal is good. If we were going to take a chance I would have preferred that we traded down or took a chance on a player with a higher ceiling.

We do not have good record of drafting QBs…even to just be a decent backup…i.e Book, Haener, Rattler (maybe)

Man….this is depressing

Couple of good edge guys and a handful of really good CB's still on the board.

Every year it’s the same thing…reach for an experimental player or a player with an injury history. We could have gotten him with our 2nd pick in the 3rd or probably our 4th rd pick.

Tyler was in school for 7 years and injured every year he played. His game play does not give me hope that he will be anymore than an average QB.

We could have taken a chance on Will Johnson or an edge rusher instead of Tyler. We are going to a 3-4 and have no edge rushers.

Our front office needs a cleansing. This year is going to be one for the books for sure.

You're complaining they took Shough with his injuries but you wanted Will Johnson who has refused to run a 40 because they feared he wouldn't out up good times. And is also dealing with a extensive lower body issues including a knee problem that may well be degenerative/arthritic
