I still think he will be the top TE, but I don't see him having a monster year.

First, the Saints want to run the ball more. Plus, with the addition of Watson, Stills, and Toon, Brees will need to spread the ball around more. You also have Colston and Moore to get balls.

I personally won't be using my second round pick on him, but it sounds like plenty of people are.

What do you think his numbers will be?

Not really a down year. . .

He doesn't NEED to spread the ball around. He's just very good at it. He is good at going through progressions and scanning to the next receiver if each option isn't open. You can bet that Jimmy is one of his first options on tons of plays.

They won't go to Jimmy any less. They know where their best production lies. His down year was last year and he had 85/982/9. That was with a bad plague of drops, an injury, and no Sean Payton. I don't see there being any situation, barring injury, that he finishes with less than those numbers.

Also, like others have said, he gives you the biggest positional advantage in the entire league.

Last year was a down year for him due to injury and a case of the dropsies

I expect huge things this year

well, the Saints finished with the #6 rushing attack a few years ago when Graham went the hell off. So I can't see the Saints ground game being a bad thing for him.

Watson will catch it some but I think the Saints may want to use him more for blocking.

the young WR's are unproven but Stills has looked promising so far.
