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...
