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.

Saints continue to draft the BPA, regardless of position.

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.

A SIT DOWN CONVERSATION WITH CAMERON DANTZLER

https://thedraftnetwork.com/articles...raft-interview

Q: When did the NFL become a reality?

D: I would say my junior year of high school. Watching the NFL, it's something that I've always wanted. My dad used to always get excited watching the New Orleans Saints play and hopefully, one day, he'll be excited to see me play on that level on TV. I also can take care of my family by doing something that I love to do.

A little foreshadowing maybe??

Michael Ojemudia - CB IOWA

High IQ player, reacts and plays the ball. Good tackler in space too.

Gotta be honest, he looks more like a safety...

KJ Hill Jr. - WR "Thee" Ohio State

Instead of signing an UDFA WR, why not take a late round flyer on this kid? He is fluid in his run style, can catch a lot of the underneath stuff.

Lastly he's caught passes from different types of QB's at OSU. Cardelle, Haskins & most recently Justin Fields. Because of the school, I'm sure the Saints brass with give him multiple "looks" pre draft.

Stud.

Sideline to sideline guy and tackles well. Not sure if you remember in the LSU (probably his worst performance) game, he got injured trying to chase Burrow on a roll out.

The concerns (very few) is that he does not shed away from defenders. Something that will be equally hard at the next level. Can become a little impatient in coverage. Side note - there was this one particular scout who compares him to Stephone Anthony

. The pro scout name escapes me at the moment.

** FWIW, a lot of teams "worst performances" was against LSU. That was a juggernaut offense. No shame for Murray there.

IMO he's gone by pick 15.
