Re: 2019 Saints NFL Draft
 

We're going to get a good player with our next 2 picks. woooooohooooooo!

Re: 2019 Saints NFL Draft
 

Hakeem Butler & Kelvin Harmon ... both very skilled WR still on the board for Day 3.

I'm kind of surprised by that.

Then there's that Foster Moreau TE guy from LSU that I really, really like. He's worth developing.

Re: 2019 Saints NFL Draft
 

4th round
LB Tranquill
OG Samia
CB Love
DT Willis lll

Re: 2019 Saints NFL Draft
 

Sleeper pick.

Re: 2019 Saints NFL Draft
 

No Rick Leonard’s today please! Lots of good prospects out there still... Take the best football players and don’t overthink it.

Re: 2019 Saints NFL Draft
 

Mack Wilson - LB (Teo's replacement?)
Riley Ridley - WR (someone needs to push Trequan & Keith)
Foster Moreau - TE (Cook is here but more of a rental FA)
Trace McSorley QB - Sean Payton has mentioned him a couple of times ... jack of all type player who is gritty. Younger version of Taysom can can throw accurately on the run.

Un drafted guy ... Hunter Renfroe of Clemson. Does not have elite/top end speed but somehow seems to get open on third down.

Re: 2019 Saints NFL Draft
 

I'd like to see WR, CB, LB, OT, and RB with our picks today. Not in that order, but whatever falls to us. BPA is also perfect, too, as really talented WR, S, CB, and RB are still out there for the taking.

Just say NO to the Rick Leonards of the draft. Too much talent available for those kind of flaming poo fart picks.

Re: 2019 Saints NFL Draft
 

Keep an eye on these guys too:

WR Gary Jennings (West Virginia)
WR David Sills (West Virginia)
WR Stanley Morgan (Nebraska)
TE Dax Raymond (Utah St)
DT Chris Slayton (Syracuse)
DT Kingsley Keke (Texas A&M)
DE Shareef Miller (Penn St)

Re: 2019 Saints NFL Draft
 

I didn’t realize Riley Ridley was still out there...I’d like that pick.

Re: 2019 Saints NFL Draft
 

Anyone believe the Saints will trade the 6th rounder and move up to the front of the 4th round and select their guy ... again ?

We've moved up in previous drafts (see Vonn Bell and Kamara) and it's worked out well.

Just a thought.

Re: 2019 Saints NFL Draft
 

Can almost guarantee it.

Re: 2019 Saints NFL Draft
 

Riley Ridley and Hakeem Butler are both still available if memory serves

Re: 2019 Saints NFL Draft
 

Well, he was available until just now.

Cardinals.

Re: 2019 Saints NFL Draft
 

We traded up! Let’s go!

Re: 2019 Saints NFL Draft
 

And boom. There you go.

Re: 2019 Saints NFL Draft
 

Safety....

Re: 2019 Saints NFL Draft
 

Yes!!! CGJ was a fringe 1st round player! Awesome job fellas.

Re: 2019 Saints NFL Draft
 

CGJ was Dane Brugler’s #48 overall prospect.

Re: 2019 Saints NFL Draft
 

What'd the move cost us?

Re: 2019 Saints NFL Draft
 

Nice.

I'll go on notice now and say Gardner will be the talk of training camp. Not sure how he dropped this far. This guy was rated by many scouts as a top safety coming out of Florida. He could help right away.

Banjo will have to be on his A game to secure his roster spot.

Re: 2019 Saints NFL Draft
 

116 and 168.

Re: 2019 Saints NFL Draft
 

He could’ve gone at the end of the 1st round and nobody would’ve called it a reach. Can play FS, SS or nickel CB.

Re: 2019 Saints NFL Draft
 

Hope he can play WR too lol

Re: 2019 Saints NFL Draft
 

So that leaves us with a 5th and a 7th then, guess it's not too bad. I'm ok with trading out this year's picks to move up, I just don't want to see any more if next year's picks traded.

Re: 2019 Saints NFL Draft
 

Diz,

I believe the Saints coaches feel confident that our in house guys (Tre, Kirkwood, Cook, old man Ginn) will get it done at WR/TE in 2019.

As for Gardner, this guy was rated as a 1st/2nd round player on a lot of scouts draft board. Maybe he turns out to be Malcolm Jenkins (Philly version) in a year or two.

Re: 2019 Saints NFL Draft
 

Never mind, my math is bad. So we gave up our 5th to make this move. I definitely don't like that as much.

Re: 2019 Saints NFL Draft
 

Just got in to work and logged on
Nice pick there, cost a bit to move up for our guys but quality over quantity is always the better move and got to players that could have gone higher

All about winning now

Re: 2019 Saints NFL Draft
 

The Saints roster is solid. It will be extremely difficult for a 5th rounder to make the team.

Re: 2019 Saints NFL Draft
 

Watch his youtube highlight reel. Dude is a headhunter and a ballhawk. Malcolm Jenkins never covered like that. What is the knock on this guy?

Re: 2019 Saints NFL Draft
 

Keep in mind, Vonn Bell is a FA after this season.

Re: 2019 Saints NFL Draft
 

Not really worth looking at our own 5th as a 5th really though. Its no different that giving up a early 6th. So long as the team has the season they should on paper both trade ups have not cost that much. IMO anyway

Re: 2019 Saints NFL Draft
 

New Orleans Saints: Chauncey Gardner-Johnson, S, Florida A+ Grade

There was some chatter that Chauncey Gardner-Johnson could sneak into the opening round, but I always had him mocked in the second frame. Gardner-Johnson is small, but he's a terrific play-maker. I heard that he fell because he didn't handle himself well during top-30 visits, but the Saints are getting an exceptional defensive back.

Re: 2019 Saints NFL Draft
 

True, but with as many quality players as there are in this draft, I'd rather give up every single one of the 6th and 7th round picks in order to stay a little higher. If it's hard for a 5th rounder to crack the roster then its potentially pointless to even have later picks.

Re: 2019 Saints NFL Draft
 

Would not be surprised if they still packaged all them to move up a few places in the 5th again. If not just draft the players who you would want as a priority UDFA

Re: 2019 Saints NFL Draft
 

Re: 2019 Saints NFL Draft
 

Read earlier that the Saints lined up in the nickel 79% of last season(2nd in NFL) makes sense to get better in a important position. Hopefully the Jenkins comparisons come to fruition

Re: 2019 Saints NFL Draft
 

Patrick Robinson will be 32 and coming off torn ligaments in his ankle. No idea what kind of agility he’s still going to have.

PJ Williams... well he’s PJ Williams. You take the good with the bad.

It’s going to be awesome having CGJ as a nickel/dime CB option. Not to mention, he’ll be way better in deep zone coverage than Vonn Bell so Cover 2 becomes more effective.

Re: 2019 Saints NFL Draft
 

Agreed the scout reports say he needs to start reading things better but couldn't have a better coach than Aaron Glenn to get him there. Hopefully someone really steps up for the CB2 job as the nickel looks pretty good and should get the takeaways if the front gets enough pressure

Re: 2019 Saints NFL Draft
 

Can’t understand moving up 9 spots for a guy who may have been there at 14. We gave up a 5th when we need depth on both lines.
