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.

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.

Hill is a beast blocking. A beast. Very underrated. If we end up with 3 starters that's good for any draft, I agree, but if we don't...doesn't leave a lot of room for error. That said we got good value for where we picked guys and thats good

So "UDFA training camp beasts" at WR position all over again. lol

Deepest draft at WR position maybe ever and you draft zero WRs...

Liked first two picks. This guy in 3rd round better be much more than blocking TE...

Yeah Payton completely ignoring WR year after year is getting annoying, these UDFA's dont see the active roster come gameday.

I do like the LB pick and the TE you mentioned, he caught 178 passes for over 2000 yards so seems more than a blocking TE.

Well you have to like out tight ends. Especially in the red zone. 4 picks though...

If they had those 3 picks rated top 40 if ( available )on there board man that’s awesome but compared to the 31 other boards I like to have that info.

It took 84 points for that pick and we gave up 76
