Whether we stay put, move up or move down, which position are absolute do not drafts under any circumstances?

Aside from Kicker... Go.

Aside from kicker and punter, no-goes are Long-snapper, and punt-returner. We need depth at all other positions including QB

Hmmm... I don't really look at it that way. There are positions that I think they really NEED, but if there's a game changing player at a position that we don't really NEED, I'd be fine with them grabbing him. RB for example. You never know about injuries etc.

RB would be a pretty difficult pill to swallow. Murray received some decent guaranteed $.

It's hard to say any position is a complete no go (outside of special teams) because even though the Saints have a pretty complete roster, you can never have too much depth at any position.

But, if I had to pick one I'd say LB (not OLB who could play end). The Saints are probably 2-deep right now (due to the fact they play a lot of 2 LB sets) and past White and Bush, there doesn't appear to be anyone else who is a no brainer top two round quality player.

I just think you could get more bang for your buck in the 2nd round by going with another position player

I think running back is on the table. We have zero insurance if, God forbid, Kamara goes down. We could use someone on the team that can replicate his role in the offense.

I don't think they can rule out anything if there's value there. Most of us would agree that RB is a no go. But, if something insane happens and Josh Jacobs is sitting there do you pass on that? Even after signing Jared Cook, I could still see them taking Irv Smith or Noah Fant if one of them was still there. Having two vertical threats at TE would help tremendously.

WR and TE were mentioned by Mickey in his presser I believe that the draft was deep at. Also a couple other spots I can’t recall

I'm really hoping we don't go qb or rb. Hoping for an ol or wr.

Agreed. If we stay at 62 I believe it will be a WR, OL, or DL

A versatile safety or CB they really thought fell into their laps are also very possible.

STG or BR or somewhere else

If Montgomery falls to the Saints, that’s probably a good value pick at that point. Of course it depends on who else is available.
