Maybe Payton plans on signing a FA WR? Come to think about it...is there even any out there worth a damn?

I don't know why anyone debates the picks the saints make... I mean they have proven to be the top team when it comes to drafting. They have the jobs because they take gambles and draft players like Kamara. I recall a lot of people confused and thought we could even get him as a undrafted FA... smh

Ugh get this crap over with so we can start signing UDFA’s!

ChrisXVI · 04-25-2020, 04:02 PM

Still have the 7th round to go but some good players still available that I hope we have a shot at as UDFA’s...

WR Isaiah Hodgins (Oregon St)
WR KJ Hill (Ohio St)
WR Quartney Davis (Texas A&M)
DT Benito Jones (Ole Miss)
LB Markus Bailey (Purdue)

Edit: Scratch Isaiah Hodgins off the list.

Never mind, Vikes just took him. I gotta be honest here... it’s not shaping up to be a great UDFA class.

How do you know that? All it takes are the right one or two to make the 90 man roster.

Is there an outside chance, Chris, that they might have identified a few that you were not aware of? I am sure you are all in on the research, but I'm sure you realize that NFL franchises have full staffs with hands on access to ascertain the possible UDFA field.

Not busting your nuts, but maybe a little.

Could be... I’m just talking more in terms of mid-round prospects surprisingly falling to the ranks of the undrafted. This year’s undrafted class will consist of players I really don’t know anything about. I’m excited though to find some true diamonds in the rough.

Could be those mid-round prospects were identified as that by those not truly making the calls in the past. Lots less in depth info on prospects these days. That said, at this point, nobody outside of the scouts have a real clue at this point.
