I got mad the last time we picked a receiver.
“What do we need this guy from Ohio State for? I’ve never even heard of him. Take Curtis Samuel!” Yeah...I’m just going to shut up and say I’m pleased with the selection. We usually know what we’re doing at WR. |

Re: Saints pick UCF receiver Tre'Quan Smith in 3rd round
He's a jump ball specialist. Brees is a jump ball throwing specialist.

Re: Saints pick UCF receiver Tre'Quan Smith in 3rd round
I read a piece a few weeks back about the biggest issue with rookie receivers is learning the complexity of the NFL passing game.
If he has the smarts to learn the offense, read the defense and run the routes, Brees will make him great. |

Re: Saints pick UCF receiver Tre'Quan Smith in 3rd round
A long strider who doesn't look as fast as his time indicates. A top ender. Reminds me of how a young Deuce ran. He didn't look like he was running fast yet he was leaving DB's in his wake.
That probably explains why he gets deep on DB's so often. |

Re: Saints pick UCF receiver Tre'Quan Smith in 3rd round
If he can track a deep ball well and block too, great. The Saints really need a receiver who can get some YAC yards. Break a tackle, shake a guy, whatever and turn a short curl into a big gain. I'm still hoping Travin Dural can get his legs back after his horrific injury in college.

Re: Saints pick UCF receiver Tre'Quan Smith in 3rd round
I'm with ya! I see I become pessimistic when it comes to the draft but after the last draft we have to be optimistic

Re: Saints pick UCF receiver Tre'Quan Smith in 3rd round
Is there locker room issues with TG Jr we're not aware of?
We didn't need a WR unless Meredith got hurt. We needed a TE but we had no second round pick. |

Re: Saints pick UCF receiver Tre'Quan Smith in 3rd round
Another interesting stat on Tre'quan...
He was the fastest WR (top end speed) at the combine. Ain't nobody chasing this cat down from behind. |
