Realistic, none of this Loomis trades 3 firsts to move up and draft a kicker.

For me, any trade up of down would not feel good, but realistically worst case would be.

#8 - (WR)Jordyn Tyson (too much risk with the injury history.)

#42-(CBN)D'Angelo Ponds(IMO this guy's lack of height is going to get exposed in the NFL)

ahh how cute. Must not been a saints fan for long if you think that's the worst they can do.

1. Keldric Faulk/Saddiq
2. A prospect that rises late who should’ve been drafted later. (Charlie Demmings, keyron Crawford)

Aside from a trade,I think he's asking out of the players mentioned as possibilities to us in the first 2 rounds what would be your combination of the 2.

1. Bain or any WR/TE
He'd be a late first early 2nd in most other drafts.
We have more pressing needs than a WR/TE in the first

2. OG/OT/C

Only position of need is a G and we can find one in the 3rd or 4th. A WR is ideal here.

Everyone here likes both picks which leads to zero meltdowns.

Olinemen always go higher than most people think they will.

The Saints are one injury away from a giant hole at center and no one is happy with Ruiz.

To be fair that was the exact take on Shough last year after the draft from most everyone.

1. High RAS guy with injury history and potential.

Trade up for a reach and not have a 2nd rounder.

1. Trading up for Bain would be absolutely MELTDOWN worthy. I don’t really want him at 8…..and there are reports that we may entertain trading up.

2. Having to lose the 2nd round pick to go up to get Bain

To be fair, I really don’t think we should trade up for anyone in the first 2 rounds

I’ll submit two popular choices among Saints fans:
1st Reuben Bain- short arms matter for edge. He will disappear against the best 10-15 tackles in the league.

2nd Chris Bell- ACL recovery means he won’t be available to begin the year. He doesn’t know how to run the full route tree. That will take time which means between the injury and learning how to play WR (not just be the biggest player that bullies college players), we will invest a 2nd to get no production in 1st year.

I think instead of focusing on a guard we have to draft a Center that can play guard or we will have to draft 2 lineman. Jager Burton or Matt Gulbin, could be had in the late 3rd/4th range that could play either but we have to get someone that can play C cause we know at some point we will have to start another C

The worst case scenario is taking the #1 most talented WR in the draft?
Our worst position?

Alright
