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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Noticed that too. Catches really well in traffic & away from his body. Add 38" vert & 4.4 long speed.

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.
