Saints trade with Vikings, draft Dayton TE Adam Trautman with No. 105 pick

This might be a good pick, Jimmy Graham 2.0, but kind of crushed we traded the rest of our draft. How did we come out of this draft without a WR? Ugh!!! We need to trade Warford or something and get back in and get a wideout!

Because Payton never drafts WR's anymore. We've needed one for years and he just ignores it.

Perhaps your being sarcastic?
Tre Smith
Mike Thomas
Brandon cooks
Robert meachum
Brandon Coleman

That’s just going back a few years off the top of my head...

Allow me to rephrase, a WR that has a decent chance of making a difference. Besides Thomas and Cooks, when recently has any other WR done something of note?

Trequan runs around like he has no clue where he is, then for one game a season has this lightbulb moment where he catches more than one pass.

Coleman was UDFA and made little difference in the passing game, was primarily a blocker.

Meach was decent, but that was back in 2007.

I just get the feeling that Payton doesnt value that position early and seems to think it can be sorted via UDFA. Then there we are again, eliminated from the playoffs because no one outside of Thomas can get open.

In the offense you can't discuss WR without mentioning a Running Back. It's true. Kamara is a top WR for us. That was the intention with trading up to get him.

This guy has really good hands and doesnt seem scared to go up for the ball so I can definately see him as a JG 2.0. If that's the case, with him,Cook, Thomas ,Sanders, Kamara and T Smith, i dont really see a desperate need for a wide out for this season....thats a nice group of receiving options. Also, we still have the option to pick up any team releases before the season starts or trade some of next year's picks if a good option presents itself.
