Reported in his final mock draft.

quote:

The Saints have been calling teams to try to trade up, and I assume they want one of the top offensive tackles. I'm not sure how they have the OTs stacked on their board, but I do feel highly confident that New Orleans will be taking a bookend blocker in Round 1.


That being said, he has us settling for Troy Fautanu at 14, after 4 OTs are drafted ahead of us. This is all too realistic. Since our need is so glaring, it's all bit guaranteed another team will know they have to leap frog us to snatch an OT before we can. In this case it's the Eagles jumping ahead of us to get Fuaga.

Every draft, the Saints are an open book

Not even really us being an open book tbh.

Penning has been a disaster, Peat is still unsigned, your best OL(Ram) has a well known knee issue and could retire at any moment, Hurst just retired.

Stevie Wonder could see that we need OL

I genuinely think the saints are the worst poker playing front office in the NFL.

4 OTs are not going ahead us.. 8 QBs and tackles would be picked in the first 13 picks for that to happen. That has never happened before in history. Jeez you and Loomis are a bunch of chicken littles and horrible at poker…

And no way the top ends drop in the late 20’s like he thinks. Insiders are already saying Latu or Turner is a lock to go to Atlanta.

And that’s a problem why exactly? Fits a need, you don’t have to give up extra capital

Fautanu has the same degenerative knee that Ramczyk has

None of this really matters until we get a QB

These fricking dumbasses in the Saints front office will never ever learn their lesson.

PLEASE stop trading up and throwing all of our draft picks away.

Trading up for an OT would be catastrophic

I’d be just happy with Fautanu. He’s a day 1 plug and play starter at LT or LG. If by some ridiculous luck happens and Penning develops into a starting LT then Fauntanu would be the best of the group to kick inside and have success. I think JC Latham ends up being the first taken followed by Alt and then Fuaga.

What a Joke the Front office is, We are NOT-A-PLAYER away.

We have Holes all over this team, Trade down and do Your job evaluating the players you Draft with the picks you get!!

The odds are (-500) to draft an offensive lineman.Way to go out on the reach Daniel.

Smart teams would sit and take whatever star falls. Only 13 players can be gone. The reason we never have draft picks is because we have no patience..

If we are going to be stupid and make trades to move up, it better be for the top rated tackle, and not the 4th or 5th best tackle.
