If for whatever reason the best player on your board @ #24 is a QB, you don't think Sean P & co aren't taking him?

Waiting in round 3, 4 ... meh. Not much in this 2020 QB class. It's time to draft a QB in the earlier rounds and develop him.

"Air Raid" offense.

Good size, quick release & has thrown a gazillion TD's ... how will that translate to the next level though?

As for Jalen R ... if this kid runs a 4.35 (which I believe he will) or better, forget it .. he's gone in the 1st round. Speed is the name of the game.

Josh Uche - DE

Really helped his stock by having a sound Senior bowl.

Meanwhile Davenport has yet to prove that he can stay healthy. We need more pass rushers & guys with the ability to set the edge.

Unfortunately a good point Major raises in that Davenport (and Rankins) have not shown to be reliably available with their respective health concerns...

While Hendrickson did advance in development despite an injury on a horrendous underpenalized clothesline to the neck, TRex hasn't shown to be an every-down defensive end...

But Josh Uche would only be 6' 1" defensive end which is very problematic while conversely, Davenport, when somewhat healthy, showed that length on the weakside was particularly advantageous...

Believe you get the most value you can per round...

That being said, I give you my favorite quarterback not named Joe Burreaux...


In my dream/best case scenario, we trade back into the beginning of the second round, Jalen Reagor is still there, we pick up another Day 2 pick to get a CB2 and a LG, then we start Day 4 with Gordon...

Re: 2020 NFL Draft: Saints Prospects

Anthony Gordon - QB WSU

** JP's sleeper pick of the draft ... is he the best QB in the draft no one is talking about?? ...

Starting around :57 ... that was a rainbow over the top. Nice touch on the ball.

The QB you SHOULD be Talking About 🔥 Anthony Gordon WSU Highlights - YouTube
Go look at his Senior Bowl film, practice notes, scouting reviews...

True, he was a backup till his Senior Year, but he was backup to now Jax Jags QB Gardner Minshew...

Gordon is definitely in the same style of Minshew, Mahomes, Favre...

Re: 2020 NFL Draft: Saints Prospects

Jauan Jennings - WR Tennessee

He showed good ability at the Senior bowl, big kid and he plays with that "dawg" mentality. We need more of those not named MT.

He'll be there late .. day 4, 5. Could be worth a look.

You know, we've busted often with WRs from Tennessee, don't you?
