Where did you get the idea that Easton was $6M?

Not a sexy pic, but the FO has done well lately picking offensive lineman. I'll trust them. Plus, like a few have said, Easton wasn't that great anyway.

Easton was the classic adequate player at a need. Now we have a young stud to develop with Easton being able to play all 3 interior positions. What’s not to like? It’s a perfect pick

I agree Danno. Kinda like the pick to ensure we have a good line with adequate backups this year.

Easton contract was set up to get out of next year. At worst Easton offers depth this year and get released next year
It's steep price 2x2nd rounder and a fifth.

Re: 2019 Saints NFL Draft

Unger leaving left the team in the lurch a bit. You don't wait and hope you can draft a replacement. Get one in and if a players there draft them too especially its O-Line depth.

Only thing I don't like is again paying 2/3 picks for a player
