He's definitely a run defender. I've been negative enough so I wasn't going to continue to pile on. Seems like they're focused on run defense. He's got good speed for the position though. All of this is a crapshoot but people might want to grab some Rouses bags.

Looks like Shedeur may be overhyped? Maybe Dallas needs to draft him? Would he provide competition to Dak Prescott?

Thanks Rez!

If we're going to add a RB the time is now in late 4th; they're flying off the board.

Quincy Riley CB for the other 4th

In terms of the player, Louisville fans are saying how much they liked him and how reliable a passer he is. So let's give Kellen a chance.

This is the highest we've drafted a QB in forever, so they obviously see something worthwhile. They've drafted him to start, so let's support him.

If he's rubbish, then we'll be drafting again, it's that simple. Let's just let Kellen build what he's trying to build first. This isn't an overnight fix, the team has too many holes, but the dude deserves some time.

I agree with the showing Carr the door part. I also agree with the Saints having many needs which is why I wish they would have gone BPA with the 2nd rd pick. I believe that Tyler would have been there later in the draft and we could have improved in so many areas.

We could have rode with Rattler another year since this is a start of a rebuild.

I hate to beat a dead horse but it's difficult for me to sit back and watch what's happening. I watched every Jackson State game they showed on TV. I watched most of the Colorado games he played in. The kid is accurate short, intermediate, and deep. He protects the football. He stands in the pocket and delivers with pressure in his face. He has an elite understanding of coverages pre and post snap. He runs when he has to. He can deliver the ball rolling left or right. His arm strength or lack thereof is overblown. He has all the traits of a classic QB. This fall has nothing to do with what is on the film. It's all about character issues that have never shown up at any level of the game. He and his family are taking this extremely well. Laughing. Smiling. Joking. Giving glory to God. We watched Johnny Manziel go #1. Zak Wilson and Trey Lance were 1st rounders. Mitch Trubisky. Names fly up draft boards out the blue for whatever reason the media makes up. This fall is disrespectful and orchestrated.

It's very likely Tyler would've been gone in the 3rd round. With the Carr situation, I don't think the Saints really had a choice. To me it means they are not sure on the Bayou Rattler. Draft grades were obviously wrong on Shedeur, despite what's left of Mel Kiper's hair is telling you. Even SP won't draft the guy. Nor Jerruh in Dallas... so far at least.

There's way too many holes to fill this year to fill our roster to be a SB contenter. Let's see what happens with Kellen Moore's pics.

We're done for now until the last two rounds.

Someone did a cold prank on Shedeur ... it's a damn shame.
