2020 NFL Draft: Saints Prospects

K Major · 02-18-2020, 12:56 PM

Adam Trautman - TE Dayton

6'6 with the ability to develop. Could be a good, mid round prospect.

Jared Cook is older and his contract is up after the 2020 season.

Do you think Brees returning changes their draft strategy into which prospects they might look at? If so, who do you think?

I doubt it changes anything as far as draft planning. They were probably more confident in his returning than most of us and most of us were pretty confident.

I don't believe the draft "strategy" changes at all with Brees returning.

Saints continue to draft the BPA, regardless of position.

As they should. If that BPA lines up with a need, so much the better, but I don't agree with going into a draft looking to merely fill needs.

The Saints will address needs in Free Agency as they usually do.

Before AND after the draft.

Unfortunately, that's what's left us with no one to properly compliment Michael Thomas. WR has been a need for years and every season seems to get ignored.

I don’t think we actually do draft BPA... not in the early rounds at least. Seems like we’re more likely to trade up for a need.

I honestly believe they believed what they had was sufficient. Loomis even said something along those lines at the Super Bowl, but his forte is finance, not player evaluation. Hopefully they now realize the need for an impact WR2.
