2020 NFL Draft: New Orleans Saints

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; I’d be ok with AJ Epenesa, but I would also be concerned with his lack of bend and agility. He seems way better suited for playing 5-technique with occasional reps at 3-tech. I’d trust the coaches vision for him though ...

I'll sit back and trust the drafting process.

The Saints draft picks as a whole over the last 3-4 years have been impressive. All one can hope for is a quality starter at pick #24.

If we somehow land an elite player (see C Jordan, Ryan Ramz) in the 1st, so be it.

Lagniappe.

Re: 2020 NFL Draft: New Orleans Saints

We’ll be getting a 3rd round comp pick for Bridgewater next year so I would offer the Jags a 2021 3rd rounder to move up to 20 ahead of the Eagles for Justin Jefferson.

Just because it’s a deep WR class doesn’t mean the right guy who can come in and be productive will be available if we sit back and wait.

Re: 2020 NFL Draft: New Orleans Saints

WR Jalen Reagor held a virtual pro day and ran a hand-timed 4.22 forty. If you account for the normal 0.15 reaction time that puts him around 4.37. He weighed in 10 lbs lighter than at the combine so this is probably more indicative of his speed.

4.22 huh? He'll shoot up on a teams draft board with that time. Not really all that surprised though. For whatever reason, he may have had the combine "jitters" but we all knew this cat was fast. The tape shows it.

Re: 2020 NFL Draft: New Orleans Saints

I would rather have Tee Higgins in the 1st, Colston's clone. I would also find a way to pick up a 7th for Juwan Johnson from Oregon to stach back if possible.

Re: 2020 NFL Draft: New Orleans Saints

Matt Peart OT Conn.(steal) should be there in the 3rd when we pick , along with Albert Okwuegbunam TE in the 4th. Both these to go along with Higgins opens this O completely up for whatever Payton can scheme up. All Brees has to do is deliver the ball.Keshawn Vaughn RB added in the 5th and were just about impossible to stop. Deep ball, 2 TE set, 3 headed running attack, slot, screen, it's all there when wanted.

Re: 2020 NFL Draft: New Orleans Saints

I read a speculative article on trading Kamara, #24 and a future pick to get #3 from Detroit.

Hmmmmm
