I’d love him in the 7th

punter can be a pretty big weapon and I don't think Taylor gets to the fifth round
once you get to the 5th round, the free agent signings after the draft pool is about the same chance of making the roster as those picks fifth round or later

A punter......
Also they're not picking 5 5th rounders and 2 6th rounders.
1&2 are very good.
I also like Jerrin Jones and KT Leveston..

Worthy is fast but I’m not the biggest fan. Think we need size in the receiving room more than anything. We don’t have a true possession receiver at the moment. Hopefully Perry can develop into that though.

sometimes i'd rather Fuaga. whats a safer better, we have a future RT on the roster already or Penning develops into an ok LT, maybe even we resign Peat to a 1 yr extension.

There is one thing you can better your entire life savings on:
The Saints are not going to draft 4 players in the 5th and 2 players in the 6th

Outside of the outliers, isn't the 5th when punters and kickers typically start to go (those good enough to be drafted).
Regarding just how big of a weapon a punter can be. Saints punted 75 times last year, 4.4 times a year.
The gap from the best punter (53.1 yards per punt) to Hedley (43.0) was a 1st down.
The gap for net yards per punt (45.3 net yards per punt) to Hedley (39.7) is 5.6 yards
Question is how much value does a team put into ~25 yards per game? While we all want to see a change/challenge, I honestly think they do not draft one and try to bring someone in after the draft.
Hedley did have respectable TB percentages and was 10th in the league (5.3% of punts results in TB), and inside the 20 percentages and was 9th in the league (41.3% inside the 20)

Worthy would be repetitive to both Olave & Shaheed
They need to mix it up. Sadly the draft has a bunch of smaller framed WR
I prefer
Pearsall
Burton
Roman Wilson
Malik washington

Would you lads want us to take Beaux Nix if he fell to 45?
In this scenario let's assume we get a tackle in the 1st that we are excited about.

Depends. What moisturizer does he use?

I'm not going to go back and look at every punt, but looking at average numbers doesn't always reflect how a so-so punter can hurt your team. Consistency is the most valuable commodity. If every fourth or fifth punt is a stinker and gives the other team a short field, he can kill you - even if the rest of his punts are respectable enough to give him a decent net average.

Either Peat wants nobody.

I'm ok with Peat back on a lesser deal, definitely can use the depth
Posted on 4/17/24 at 2:28 pm to goatmilker
Peat potentially planning to be a post 6/01 signing once MT & Winston's deals are adjusted?
Posted on 4/17/24 at 2:42 pm to Weekend Warrior79
Some of the contract guru's may know I don't have a clue.

I’d take it. If we go WR in round 2, I’d rather have Ricky Pearsell or Xavier Legette. But if it played out this way, I’d run to the podium to take Edgerrin Cooper. I’d probably take a look at Braden Fiske too over WR. But any of these 4 would be fine with me.

Peat is most likely going to a like a one-year deal somewhere and with the draft coming up, I think teams will take a chance there before signing him.
Yeah, he made it through unscathed this past season, but teams probably reviewed his injury status over his whole career.
I wouldn't mind if he came back on a hometown discount on a one year deal
