2019 Saints NFL Draft

Re: 2019 Saints NFL Draft

Allow me to rephrase my earlier message - if we are just picking guys that are going to get cut because of the "roster too good" ideal, then we should have packaged those picks to move up and select players in the 3rd / 4th round that could potentially help, rather than wasting picks on late rounders that will just get cut.

I like your thinking. Only flaw is 31 other teams are looking to fleece you good and hard, lawyer style...they could have fished around but got no bites. Which reminds me of my typical fishing trips.

Edit: we did use some pick collateral to jump up in the 2nd & 4th. They did better than me, come to think of it.

Re: 2019 Saints NFL Draft

The Saints traded up twice to get players(McKoy, Gardner) that will help this season.

Didn't the Saints have the best regular season record in football last year?

What am I missing here?

The lack of quality receivers doomed the offense, which still hasn't been addressed....

Well we were priced out in FA with the money getting stupid for Humphries etc. And unless you pick a WR in the first 2 rounds or at worst very early R3 they are not better than Ginn,Meredith or Smith the later two being a further year on from a bad injury and the other another year in the system. Any WR2 is going to be the fourth look behind Thomas,Kamara,Cook aswell

At this point its safe to assume that Meredith is healthy which means Kirkwood and Smith are competing for the 4th WR.

Who were we going to get where we were drafting that would have come in and made an instant impact?

Don't forget this team signed Jared Cook in FA who will be a threat in this offense.

No doubt, Jared will help us but having a guy like Parris Campbell would have made an instant impact on third downs.

Hopefully we have Meredith for that this year.

Hope we get Beau Benz------l, OLine Wisconsin. We'd have the most vowels for oline in the NFL. Plus he's a decent depth guy like Clapp last yr.
