IF we stay at 62, here's my picks:

Riley Ridley WR UGA or Parris Campbell WR OSU (same player IMO)
Zach Allen DE Boston College
Tytus Howard OT Alabama State
Mack Wilson LB Alabama
Dexter Lawrence DT Clemson

Check out UGA Mecole Hardman, BC Jeff Smith, or Auburn's Darius Slayton - all we need is a Z that can stretch the field vertically, keeping the defense honest. Why spend a first, second on that position?

Look, unless we're letting @cantguardmike walk out the building when via free agency when his rookie contract expires (3rd rd compensatory pick)or via a trade in the last year of contractual rights, he's the X-WR...

While we got Mike under contract, a big one at that, spend those Day 1 and Day 2 picks on needs at premium positions such as QB, CB, DE...

PS: Zach Allen is the most underrated players this draft; also LB Blake Cashman, OL Max Scharping, TE Foster Moreau, CB Jimmy Moreland, OL Keaton Sutherland, CB Tim Harris, WR Cody Thompson, FB Alec Ingold, C Jon Baker...

I look at what the position produces for OUR team. EX: the Z today is Tedd Ginn Jr. A former top 10 draft pick. A player we traded for - that's how valuable the skill set is to this offense. So I say a younger, faster version of TG (with less dropsies) is worth a second round pick. None of that means CGM is going anywhere.

TE on the other hand. That's a position we can get later in the draft.

I love Zach Allen.

Add Justin Layne to that love list too and a real possibility at 62.

Totally agree about Tight End being deep. And with Cook now under contract, and our guys returning from last year, I don't even consider it a need at all...

Warring, though, is awfully tempting; and Foster Moreau is probably my favorite, most affordable TE fit for the Saints...

T.J. Hockensen would be like putting a big block in this offense...
