re: New Orleans Saints Draft Thread - TRADE! Saints take Bama CB Kool-Aid McKinstry (2, 9, 41)
Posted by Hot Carl on 4/26/24 at 11:16 pm
If we move up into the 4th to take a pass catcher, which of these 4 would you prefer (in no particular order):
1) Ja'Tavion Sanders 6'4" 245 lb TE--UTexas
2) Cade Stover 6'4" 247 lb TE--Ohio State
3) Troy Franklin 6'3" 187 lb WR--Oregon
4) Brendon Rice 6'2" 208 lb WR--USC
And what wo...

Tonight isn't the night you want to shite on him, Les. Herring was coming in in the top of the 8th in a 2-0 game for a 2-inning save before Milazzo's 2 RBI double in the bottom of the 7th made it 4-0. Herring sat down and Little we...

For somebody so smart, you sure do have problems with vocabulary sometimes. But you're certainly not alone. There is a difference between the word "waste" and the word "use" that some of y'all seem to have trouble grasping. ...

Looks like there's been a little run on corners here. I've got no problem giving up a 5th and 6th to take the superior player that we liked. Even if we only moved up 4 slots....

Terrible take. This never happened. The Falcons did, however, commit a shite-ton of money to him. The media didn't make that up.

[quote]Two 5s and a 6 gets you in the bottom of the 4th. So yes no doubt.[/quote]
The chart might say that, but supposedly there's a huge drop-off in this draft sometime in the 4th round. Those 5ths this year may not have the same value as they would in another. I don't think they make all 4 5th ...

So Gyno, you've made a couple posts suggesting his true position is at guard, but could be a serviceable RT in a pinch. And I'm not mad atcha--hell, I don't know. But we've already made the pick. It's over. Spilled milk. Where do you think we should go from here? What would be your strategy moving f...

[quote]most likely, but he fell this far[/quote]
I think PFF had him as the #8 guy on their big board. Maybe teams aren't sure if he's a corner or safety and didn't want to pull the trigger. I think that has a lot of value, though. Or maybe they just assume he's a safety and his value has dropped...

[quote]Carl, Duke Manyweather and Brandon Thorn, the two OL gurus of the league who work with all of these guys, have Fuaga penned as an inside guy.
Thorn had him as his OL6, Manyweather comps him to Mike iupati, who was a great guard but a guard nonetheless.

For whatever reason, the position has been devalued. We saw that with the free agent market this year. A ton of the better and most expensive ones were cut and haven't re-signed. I don't know why, but the market for safeties took a hug...

I think I like Jenkins the most out of that group. Fiske may be the "better" player in a vacuum, but I think Jenkins pairs better with Bresee and compliments him. Especially against the run. They could be our 2 starting DTs for the next 5-6 years or more. ...

Here's some more things they had to say about him:

In pass protection, his stride length is limited but his foot s...
