I think we’ll look back at McKinstry as a great pick

First off, I’m always on board with stacking CBs. You play 3 at pretty much all times these days.
Lattimore, we all know is in limbo. Beyond that, he also turns 28 this month and has missed significant time the last 2 seasons. Even if he’s on the roster in 2024, he’s not in the 5 year plan.
Can Adebo replicate his 2023? If so, he may be too expensive to retain. If not, I think you have a hard decision on what to pay him. I think he’s a good candidate for a modest extension like Carl Granderson right before the season, if he’s open to that.
Alontae is kind of an enigma right now. Is he a true outside CB or slot? Can he be more consistent with his great flashes. Idk.
Kool Aid was a very smart pick for the above reasons. I believe he’s fairly polished and could contribute immediately but more than that, he should be a big piece for the future at a premium position

I think this is the hard thing. He's clearly better on the outside imo. I just don't know when we'll get the chance to put him back there without injury
IMO Koolaid is more in the Lattimore mold (coverage, not a ballhawk) whereas Taylor is more like Adebo (playmaker who sometimes lapses in coverage). So if we move off Latt this year, I could see Adebo and Koolaid starting outside which once again puts Taylor on the bench or in the slot where he isn't very good

he's in his prime, prolly will be for the next 2 - 4 years. i think he's gone post june 1st because of his cap next year. we'd save over 10mil on the 2025 cap by trading him. i'd rather keep him, top 5 cb in the nfl and prolly the best cb the organization has ever had.

kool-aid is a good cb. more importantly, he's our type of cb.

Thw one thing DA has excelled in has been identifying Talent at CB. If he thinks he is worth drafting, i think the production will be there. Unless he makes a trade with any of the other CB pieces, i question the need, though.

Was really hoping for DeJean over McKinstry, but he went a pick earlier. That may have been what incentivized Saints to trade up and grab Kool-Aid.

Was really thinking they were trading up for AD Mitchell. I thought he would be a really good pick there. Was not overly impressed with Kool-Aid at Bama. He is very "handsy" and needs to fix that or he will get called for PI a lot in the NFL.

I loved the pick. Who knows what it will look like in three years, but I can’t think of a Saints draft over the last 10 years that I’ve felt this good about.
If our first two picks end up being solid starters, the draft is a huge win.
If that DT works out it will be a slam dunk.
If Rattler works out it will be a slam dunk.
That’s a lot of ifs, but every draft has a lot of ifs.

I think so as well, one thing about Saban is he believes in technique for DBs…..so any DB that comes from his program will have that drilled into them.
Really excited to see how this plays out with him being in the building.
