2020 NFL Draft: Saints Prospects

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; Jalen R is a burner. I'd like him too. "Z" receiver. What I like about him is that despite his size (5-10, 5'11), when the ball is in the air, he goes and gets it. Something Ginn/Tre hadn't done to ...

We need speed & he's a threat. For whatever reason, we kicked Cyril Grayson (ridiculous speed/stretches the field) to the curb.

I'll be honest though, Sean P isn't going to draft this kid. What Brees needs right now is a taller, 50/50 guy who can win most of those battles.

Then we still have the same problem come playoff time - teams that have the DB depth and a four man pass rush will just sit in short, intermediate zone defense with the freak or flex to Michael Thomas...

We've got to stretch the field vertically to open those passing lanes, make the buckets larger for Drew Brees; I mean, it's not like we're gonna line up and smash the ball downfield with our offensive line...
