This is the second mock that has us drafting Lemon over Love that I've seen. My question is: if Reese or Bain is available, what do they do because I think both of those guys will be better in the long run than the 2 receivers or Love.

Love Lemon McCoy and Styles

I wouldn’t mind dropping to 12-13 range

We should absolutely be moving back into the teens. So many holes and plenty of high end WRs, OL, Edge, DBs, LBs available then

Worse case scenario if Bain, Bailey, Reese, Tate are all off the board.

I’d probably just take Downs right there or trade down a few spots if we can. Then target Delane.

Well per his mock, neither Reese or Bain were available.

I am convinced the Taylor will bolt in FA and he should if he gets offered top CB money so in this scenario I have a hard time passing on Downs or maybe even Delane.

I really like Kool-Aid, Riley, Sanker and Reid but in Staleys defense you can fine a way to have Delane or Downs also in the field in the star role initially.

IMO with all the WR's they have added we will wait till the 2nd or 3rd to address WR. Like it or not Olave is going to be paid like a WR#1 and will be considered such in 2026.

I will pick Love. If not, I am looking to trade down.

Can the Saints acquire two guards via trade and or FAs to free up BPA for first round? Would love the jets #20 in the first. Jets have two 2nds including the first pic in second.

Lemon reminds me of Steve Smith

If we find a suitor this is the draft I would absolutely like to trade down in.

Also , Lemon and Tate are 1a/1b for me. I’d like Tyson just as much but his recent injury bothers me .

Lemon could come in and potentially be the best receiver on this team quickly. He’s a dude.

I hope Love and Downs are left. And then I hope we trade down with KC for Love and trade down with CIN for Downs.

Something like this:

Chiefs- #8/ #148 5th/ #170 5th
Saints - #9/ #74 3rd
Chiefs- Love

Bengals- #9/ #132 4th / #136 4th
Saints- #10/ #72 3rd / #187 6th
Bengals- Downs

#10 CB Delane
#42 DL Zion Young
#72 WR Germie Bernard
#73 ED Derrick Moore
#74 TE Eli Stowers
#187
#188

That doesn’t seem realistic for two teams to jump one spot back to back

I can 100% see KC making a deal for Love. CIN may be less likely but they apparently really like Downs. It is the only scenario where that would be realistic considering the current hype of Love to KC and Downs to CIN. Maybe its a bluff but those teams seem to have heavy interest in those 2.

Love and Downs on the board would be the best trade down scenario for the return value.

If he's really in that mold I 100% take him over anyone on the board. The Saints need a dog like Steve Smith.

Passing on Downs there would be ridiculous

I would melt. Those are the top 2 guys I like in this draft.
