So, while it does suck that the Saints don't have their #10 pick this year; are you suggesting it may end up working out that they have Olave & Penning instead of 1 of them and the #10 pick?

Obviously, this will depend on how Penning works out with his injuries.


Ask yourself this. Would Penning have gone 10th overall in this draft if he were in it. The answer is a resounding no.

Not sure you can say it would be a resounding no. He was rated as a mid 1st rounder in 2022 and went 19th. If this draft is grading down like OP is suggesting, he may very well fall just outside of the top 10.

Only place I can find with 2023 draft grades is NFLDraft Buzz. They had him with a grade of a 90 in 2022, that would have him tied at 11 in this years draft

how do you know that. In college he may not have gotten hurt. He may have gone top 10 in this draft, or at least not far behind it. There's no way of knowing if its a no, or resounding no as you put it.

Penning went after our original pick last year. So we would have at worse, ended up with him and not Olave. But we would have #10 or likely higher since we didn’t have Olave, our number two next year who people seem to forget about and both of our thirds last draft.
