nobody liked the Peat pick either but he's a hoss and played well at LG and LT last year.

Circle back to last season ... some (not on this board) thought Michael Thomas was a reach in the 2nd & he is already become a rising star.

I'll continue to believe in Jeff Ireland and company.

I agree, K. He appears to be having a "Major" impact!

After our starters we have no backups that could step in and play. He or Zach can come off the bench and play great in a reserve roll. He will be our starter nxt year for sure when Zach retires. Hell of a pick. I love both so far. Now lets go get Willis in rd 2, Leggett and Beckwith in rd 3!

Lattimore pulled a hammy getting out of his seat. Looks like we'll have the strongest IR in the draft.

With Houston trading up for a QB at 12 makes me bet Houston called us to jump ahead of Cleveland. Cleveland picked up a first rounder in 2018. That added fuel to the fire for me. Then again this deal might have been part of the deal that let Houston dump Brock Osweiler.

Taking a CB with his injury history and knowing the lengths OSU went through to keep him on the field in 2016 made me shake my head even more. Athleticism is their no doubt. Now to keep him out of the tub. I watched the kid a lot and liked Gareon Conley more.

Not only do I have to watch Christian McCaffrey twice a year but I also have to watch O.J. Howard twice a year after we passed on him. In five years I better not feel the same I do do now as Howard becomes one of the best TE in the NFL and Fleener cashes in on that god awful contract the saints signed him too. Managing the cap through the draft is something the saints stink at.

Here to Marshon Lattimore staying healthy and proving me wrong.

Ryan Ramczyk I can accept a lot easier. He played all season long with the injury so it probably wont be an chronic issue. One year starter sure but unlike Peat who only played LT Ryan played OT and OG and swung from side to side in practices. He is a solid RT prospect to take over for Zack, that has a swing skill set. Our jumbo package will be killer.

We drafted our future RT? A year behind Zach and doing spot duties will only make him better. He may beat Zach out year 1

Pick 42? I am screaming a True FS or another CB

If Lattimore can stay healthy, get coached up and match the pro bowls of Howard.

This has a chance of being an A+ round 1.

I noticed a couple of things and I am seeing how they play out. Saints tend to be drafting a player on each level. So we go DB, now OL. Look for them to draft DL, LB, offensive back field, WR.

I think they like the idea of adding fresh blook on each level on O and D.

I'm not in the wow factor here. Lattimore, not pleased with this pick . So we pick up a kid who has yet some injury history, and lack of experience. I think I'm not happy cause I wanted a DE at 11. Then some are saying we picked up a tackle for the future, how does that help our Defense now.
I prey Lattimore is all what he needs to be . Otherwise we tanked the 11th pick again.

Whilst he's probably a solid player, I don't agree with the pick.

We have 100's of DB's and a lack of any real talent besides Cam Jordan at DE, the obvious choice was to get someone to start opposite it him.

But once again Sean Payton is in love with DB's and can't fathom that bolstering up front first will have a knock on effect, helping out the back end.

i think less 3 and outs helps our d and any time you can control the clock and run the ball I think it helps your d. I think it helps indirectly.
