It’s a week away and around this time we’d usually be having lots of discussions about the draft Maybe because we don’t have a 1st round pick?

yeah, love davenport but having a down draft year sucks balls. hope we don't make a sudden sacrifice our 1st next year cause then that'd be a waste of 2 drafts. lol

Yeah I feel you. I don’t see us standing pat at 62 though. Might not move way into the 1st round but definitely up in the 2nd.

I am always interested to see who are adding. I hate that we dont have a full compliment of picks but it doesnt matter as long as the scout team does their job well. diamonds litter every round.

No doubt. We should definitely be able to get a starting caliber player in the 2nd

If parris campbell falls into the 2nd round id love to see us make a move up to get him. It'll never happen but a man can dream.

I don't want us to trade up into the first.
But, of course, we will.

I think it's several things.
The f@ck you NFL part.
Lack of picks.
Roger f'ing with the draft days.
Not any glaring weaknesses on the team.
Will watch when I can of course lol

I'd like to see New Orleans consolidate picks. Walk away with 4 or 5 guys who have a legitimate shot at cracking the roster. We've got what? Roughly 47 roster spots solidified. This off season you'll have 43 guys battling for maybe 6 reserve roles. I think that's the beauty of this draft. It's that no matter who we select, at any position, that player is very unlikely to have much of an impact on the team this year, unless a (knock on wood) plethora of injuries. It would be nice to see them bump a few spots in the 2nd and target a guy. It would also be nice to see us make a move for a 3rd rounder. A swing Guard/Tackle could make the roster. A 3rd Running back, preferably one that can pass protect and catch out of backfield as insurance for AK41. A Receiver or TE of the future. And on the defensive side, a #4 DE. Depth at linebacker and a #3 Safety could be in play. Hopefully day 2 will exciting for us. Lots of talent. Its a deep draft. Ireland will figure it out. Sean and Mickey will make it happen.

Yeah I'd rather 1 or 2 guys that could potentially start/rotate or at least play some meaningful snaps over 6 or 7 camp bodies

Heck, we do not have a 1st, 3rd or 4th. I would imagine we will sacrifice a 2020 pick or two in a trade for pick(s). Hopefully we do not trade our 1st rounder in 2020.

No team would take just a next year's 1st for their current year's first. So, it would entail us giving up this year's 2nd as well.

You basically have to look at Macus Davenport as your 1st round selection. Teddy B as your 3rd. And Eli Apple as your 4th. Once you mentally apply that, it makes the class easier to accept. Plus, they’ve all had the benefit of a year in the system.

If they trade up into the first round it better be for someone they are in complete shock over still being on the board. There are some good defensive tackles and pass rushers that might slip just because of the depth there and a possible run on QBs and WRs.
