I got roasted a week or so ago when I stated that the Muhammad needs to elevate his game. He had 27 snaps last week vs Cardinals yet he didn't record a single QB "hit" or tackle. Those young bucks aren't going to wait around for him. Right now quite a few guys are ahead of him on the depth chart.

Definitely a "bubble" guy in 2018.

Rez, you're probably right and the sad thing about it , Muhammad has better speed, moves (and size) than Jovais or Edebali had at this point of their careers...

We've got some quality depth on the defensive line and it's been years since we could say that, almost never under a Sean Payton team...

My ego aside, really want this guy on our roster; he's got the best hands, catch radius for what we do on offense; he just came from a limited program...

We didn't have to spend high draft capital on Kirkwood though...

Last 2 years Jeff Ireland & his scouting/talent evaluation staff has nailed their draft picks. Trust the process.

Not sure why some fans are surprised the Saints spent so much to take a shot at an elite pass rushing prospect. Von Miller, JJ Watt, Cam Jordan & Melvin Ingram's of the world don't grow on trees. IMO the lack of a consistent pass rush kept us out of the NFCCG last season.

Got a feeling it was Payton that didn't trust the process...

Success of the draft aside, we were methodical and waited for players to fall to us in 2017, more of a Jeff Ireland kinda draft...

Tell me, friend, how long does it take you to get over spending $250 on that great meal for you and the wife?

After watching his college highlight film, he may have the best hands on the team.
