Players that can get their hands on a poorly thrown pass and get yards.
It also sets us up for the post Brees era. A new qb is gonna need as much help as possible. With cooks in the lineup and Thomas coming out balling we may very well have one of the best receiving corps in the league.

We will take Davis Webb in the 3rd

Aside from Randy Moss for a year or two Tom Brady has been throwing to many players that wouldn't be on most teams' rosters, let alone starting at #1 or 2 as a WR and winning SBs. Wasn't Edelman a running back when Welker and Moss were the WRs?

The need for receivers as glaring before the Thomas pick. This front office is playing the Fleener redemption hope card.

Is there any indication that any of this will happen soon? With the way Brees takes care of his body and the fact that he is one of the best ever, it is likely he will be the Saints QB, playing at a high level, for another four to five years.

If we could get 5, 18 and 3rd from the titans for cooks and our 11 this could be a scenario:

#5 Solomon Thomas DE Stanford
#18 Quincy Wilson CB Florida
#44 Chris Wormley DE/DT Michigan
#76 David Webb QB California
#83 Noah Brown WR Ohio State
#118 Pat Elfein G/C Ohio State

TELL ME THIS WOULDN'T BE A MONSTER DRAFT FOR US. With our 6th and 7th rounder we need an OT and maybe another WR.

And no one had film on Thomas last year. Now top CBs will be gameplanning for him.

Will,
What the hell are you talking about ?

Players after big seasons most often disappoint the next season. Todd Gurley, Allen Robinson, Allen Hurns, Eric Decker, CJ Anderson. They always happen.

And defense WILL be game planning for Thomas. I didn't think Thomas was anything like AJ Green or Jones last year, he was good because of his role. But he was no deep threat. And who's going to fill those shoes left by Cooks. The week 1 game against the raiders, the week 6 game against Carolina. The week 15 game against Arizona. The week 10 game against Denver. Who won those games for us or almost?

Coleman better be ready. Because he's gonna be needed a lot next year.

If it was up to the "media" Payton would be coaching the LA Rams now. Remember that stupid rumor, This sounds just as dumb
