Have no doubt that with the Wuhan Virus spectre causing social distancing that that limited the Saints ability to coordinate a trade back within what is normally a too long selection period...

Believe today was the day we were to trade up into the second in a package deal with Warford and/or Peat and take Ruiz early in the second...

Instead they adjusted the plan and made the mild reach of Ruiz...

Why would you think Ruiz was a reach when he was clearly the best interior offensive lineman in the draft? In your mind it may have been a reach, but you aren't the one doing the REAL drafting, my friend so your opinion of what signifies a reach is just that ... your opinion.

As for myself, I thought it was a great pick that addressed one of the biggest needs we had coming into this season.
