Trautman had 70 catches for 917 yards and 14 TD's this past season. He is a pass catching TE that happens to be a great blocker, as well.

Yea camp bodies like Colston. There was also a camp body named Brady that worked out ok. You are going to take in every bit of sunshine the Saints blow out of their ass.
I don’t get it. We needed a WR and we could have used other picks for depth. There are always surprises.

For that price he needs to have an immediate impact.
I’ll bet 100 this dude stays inactive AND Sanders only plays about 12 very lackluster games.
The pick is especially concerning given the fact we have no offseason program.
I You said the offseason program is useless but you are about to find out how important it is for players like him who have to get a lot stronger. He is weak.

Re: Saints Draft Days Official Thread
 

For what price? Four late round picks for a player rated by the team as a top 40? Seems awful damned cheap to me. My betting limit is $20, so if you are willing to stand behind your declaration I'll take that bet in a second.

To make it clear, you bet Adam Trautman doesn't make the active roster AND Emmanuel Sanders only plays in 12, or less games, and is deemed lackluster in those.

Correct? Of course, this depends upon actually having a season, right?

He is weak? Why do you think that?

Trautman can catch but he was like 12 feet taller than anyone else in the field. There will be a learning process in the NFL. I'm sure he will contribute the first year but the speed of the game takes time even for div.1 powerhouses. Probably year 2 will start coming into his own. But he isn't going to be our number 1 option this year at TE anyway and that will help him too

Re: Saints Draft Days Official Thread
 

Not according to The Dude. Supposedly he remains inactive all year. Oh, and Emmanuel Sanders will play 12 or fewer games and be lackluster.

You know he knows what he's talking about, right?

Re: Saints Draft Days Official Thread
 

Surely we can move Warford for a 6th.

Re: Saints Draft Days Official Thread
 

He didn't have any problems in the Senior Bowl going against all the best talent, so I don't think it's fair to say he looked good only because of weak competition.

He was a QB/CB coming out of HS, so he didn't have much of chance to be recruited highly. He made the transition to TE in week 7 of practice in Dayton - which he had suggested to the coaching staff.

One could say he had to be more determined because he didn't receive any financial assistance in athletics.

Who knows, I'm excited, and I like the draft as a whole.
