Zero interest in Dallas Turner. I heard a story recently about how many off-field business interests he has. Good for him, but I’m not taking him. Marcus Davenport had off-field interests too.



The problem with Davenport (among other things), is that he didn't give a shite about football.

That was in multiple draft profiles about him, said in a nicer way. He just wasn't really into it and everyone knew it.

Turner could have business interests and still care a great deal about football.

Somebody will be at 14 that shouldn’t be. I’m certain of that.

The Saints worry is that you have the Chargers, Titans, Jets all leaning OT possibly.

I think the Chargers move back a few spots, take an OT and then a WR later.

Not sure about the Titans. I could see the Jets going WR or TE if its value

That should be a celebration and not a worry

Other teams over drafting offensive lineman means that we're going to get a more elite prospect at our position. We should be happy about that.

Great post... I really like the explanations of the picks... what we have and what we traded away... If the Saints do any trading up in the first I think it would be stupid.. Look at this years draft we only had 3 picks that originated with the Saints... That's reckless spending...

I think we should trade down to 25 or so and Draft Bo Nix, run him out behind the current O Line, go 0-17, get the 1st pick in 2025 and Draft Shedeur Sanders.

Nicely done RT
Well for about the 13th time in a row I am picking trading down in the first. If the top 3-4 picks are oline and dline I'll be happy.

So who is the player the Saints are picking at 14 that really none of us have pounded the table for?

I have a request. Can we not spoil the picks in this thread? I'll be following a number of NFL reporters on X/twitter and don't want to come here and see it before they announce it on TV.

Thanks.

Good one! Most years that's kind of what the Saints do go completely off the radar of what we talk about for a few months on here. LMFAO.

I think the one that got me the most was Payton Turner. Definitely didn't have that on my bingo card.

Saints have actually been fairly predictable at times recently

True.

I guess the years have really flown by for as many drafts that I've benn on here.

Marcus Davenport was another one that I don't think was brought up that much if at all the year we took him.

Davenport was talked about a lot. Payton Turner was too…just in the 2nd round

Ruiz was a pretty big surprise

That's right. I remember they started showing his highlight reel and I'm like wait he's a center! We've already got a pretty good one in McCoy!

I'll probably flew off the handle for 5 or 10 minutes just can't remember.
