2019 Saints NFL Draft

K Major · 04-27-2019, 04:20 PM

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.

+1 Agreed.

I still have a lot of faith in Meredith this season. He was a good player for the Bears and if he can round back into form, we'll have a great duo at WR as Mike is just a beast of a player. Tre and Kirkwood will continue to grow and improve as well.

Throw in Kamara's pass catching ability + we have added Cook at TE to the equation. That's a tall order to defend.
