Re: 2018 NFL Draft - Draft Day

Disappointed not in this WR in the 3rd but that we passed over DTs (Phillips) and Maurice Hurst.

Who cares about heart condition if we get 7 years or so from Maurice Hurst at his elite level of play? May not be able to afford to resign him then anyway.

He was available only because 32 teams group-thinked themselves outta an obvious great deal...like OT/OG L'ael Collins in the 7th recently.

For the chickens, just go for Phillips. We desperately need a NT or penetrating DT and we could've had one in the 3rd.

The value was in the 2nd round...should've traded down not up for our choice of TEs (except Hurst) then the DT in the 3rd. A trade down into the 2nd would net another 3rd to use on this WR (or Gallup).

Re: 2018 NFL Draft - Draft Day

I'm glad the Saints picked up another WR mid rounds. If Thomas ever goes down for an extended period, we're screwed. By all accounts Tre is athletic, good hands & his body of work says he's highly productive. Also has deceptive speed.


Most of us are playing checkers while Payton and Ireland are playing Chess.

Oh how I hope you're right. Davenport scare me with the possibility of being a Courtney Brown. TreQuan, I can't see him on the depth chart challenging for a spot. This draft is reminiscent to after Goodell strip us of draft picks. I hope they haven't got complacent after the best draft ever.

Yes he is fast... but does he have more moves than Exlax?

Re: 2018 NFL Draft - Draft Day

Here's what I am taking from the Saints draft so far. We must feel really good about our defense as is, minus the left end spot. I don't know if that is accurate, but that must be what coaches think and feel.

Clearly we feel we have a need at wide receiver. I think all of us have thought we could add a player or two there, but I also felt we needed help at tight end. Fleecer has not got it done. Maybe this is his break out year and him and drew get on the same page.

I wonder if we will add a tight end, oline, and dt the rest of the draft?

I haven't been overly excited about this draft. Feel like we gave up too much for the move up and not sure in other drafts if that guy is a number 14. But I am also just a fan. If the coaches are that certain about the rest of our d then I have to give them the benefit of the doubt. If that guys pans out we could have a strong dline that gets after the QB, and it all starts up front

He said speed is not his game. All about fighting for it in the air deep. Makes sense. Brees does float them out there but gonna be hard breaking into this WR group.

Today (day 3) is a big day to select a solid Pro prospect.

More than 50% of NFL rosters are compiled of 3rd day players.

Re: 2018 NFL Draft - Draft Day

So our 4th round pick is an OT who has only been playing OT for a year and a half...yeesh. I like that they went O line but I don't understand taking this guy.
