Hope he's worth five picks

Well if he lines up on the same side as Peat he can probably help him up after he gets knocked off his feet

He'll line up next to RT Ryan Ramczyk more often than not...

There are hidden gems still left on the board and Loomy and Payton give up the rest of the draft for a TE, seems lazy not trying to do better on their homework. Also give up a 3rd next year on a lb'er. His trend to trade up is becoming habitual. Hope these guys are worth it but giving up this many picks on a TE in the 3rd I highly doubt it. Unbelievable!! Never compare Payton to BB, their nothing alike, not even close.

Sucks, that's one possible usage down the drain

Jimmy was a hybrid

Not that Dayton is a powerhouse, but it says something that this kid is #1 in rec and yds at Dayton all time. He's far from just a blocker.

I dont understand Payton sometimes, we've needed to draft some receivers for years and he just ignores it year after year.

Last year he drafted like 5 safeties instead of grabbing a WR and then cut like 3 of them.

Wow. Fell asleep while waiting for the draft to begin.

I like the picks they made, and I'm not too upset that they gave up all of their picks this year to take the TE nor that they gave up next year's third round pick for the LB, since they are getting the comp pick.

If all three of these guys were really in their top 40, then that's great in my view - I'd rather have quality over quantity at this point when the Saints are chasing the Lombardi and not rebuilding.

Going into the draft, I heard from variety of sources that the Saints were going into the draft with the least amount of needs or holes to fill in their depth chart, so in light of that it makes sense they tried to limit the number of draftees and go for the guys with the best odds to succeed and contribute immediately.

And lets be honest, Hill is very average as a TE, so potentially getting a baller, who can help the run and screen game with his blocking prowness will be awesome.

And Anzalone played the entire 2018 season (16+2), so he has the ability to stay on the field contrary to what many are saying on these boards.
