Saints Draft Days Official Thread

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
