Re: 2020 NFL Draft: Saints Prospects
In my opinion the lack of pressure after both Davenport and Rankins went down contributed more to the big plays down field than any breakdowns in the secondary. Even the best of DB's have a problem staying with a good receiver 30-40 yards down field if the QB has time to make the throw. Having more quality depth all across the defensive line is needed.

We unnecessarily move up in a deep DE draft for Davenport, a fine talent, but there's similar production and more GPs by players taken later in that draft... As bad as the need for a WRz threat downfield to open the field up for Michael Thomas and Jared Cook, we don't need to move up in round 1 for a WR... |

Re: 2020 NFL Draft: Saints Prospects
Netane Muti - OG Fresno State
Not a sexy draft pick but we really need to improve in the trenches. The Good : He's nasty, an animal, naturally powerful & moved D lineman against their will vs Bama as a freshman. Some have compared him to Quenton Nelson ... that's ridiculously high praise. The Bad: He's injury prone, not durable, could miss a lot of games. Did I mention he's injury prone? .... |

Winning in the playoffs start in the trenches. Just imagine if another R Ramz falls to us late in the 1st round? A big nasty please. |
