He’s gonna end up being the best player in this draft.

Because you can draft Nolen and gain extra draft picks.

Nobody wants to trade up in this draft. It takes two to tango.

Can you? He just said he’s the best player in the draft and lots of mocks don’t have him lower than maybe 12

If the Saints think he could be the best player in the draft, you take him at 9.

I guess in this fantasy hypothetical the Saints are the only team who know about him.

Nolen ain't slipping past the Niners at 11. They have no DT talent on their roster.

Saints are taking one of Nolen, Shemar Stewart, Mykel Williams… a high upside defensive lineman that for whatever reason didn’t produce to college potential and is much lower on other boards and mock drafts. Book it.

It’s a pick i wouldn’t hate. But, if you think he’s the best player in the draft you just take him at 9. This draft has a lot of depth at dt and other positions the saints need but, that doesn’t mean anyone is trading up unless a big time player falls and at that point the saints should take bpa available there. With that being said, i don’t think Nolan is the best player in the draft.

I personally think Nolen is the second best player in this class behind Abdul

To one day have a DT that draws double teams has been a long time wish. That is the start of a great Dline. If there is that DT in this draft doesn't matter where you pick him.

part of the graham wondering is how much he benefited playing alongside the monster grant.

Can he fit at DE in a 34 defense?

I like him, like Stewart --- either gonna be the best player all-pro or just a rotational dude for his career. there's no inbetween.
