Hot take here. The writer must have really done some "research" to come to this conclusion.

Every team misses on draft picks. So let’s stop acting like a third or fourth round not working out is something shocking.

This is just untrue. Even with these misses...we're still a damn good drafting team. I don't think you realize how bad some teams actually draft.

I wouldn't count trautman as a miss. He was a 3rd rounder at te out of a small school.

What the saints are really missing is that josh hill vet.

I thought vannett would fill that gap but he has been disappointing. I could still see him getting cut. His salary is decent.

I still believe in trautman.

I don't see how it could be like 17.

I'm as high on adebo and werner as anyone.

If Turner is the guy the Saints thought and Baker makes the 53 that would put them all in from that draft

Young is in if healthy but Baker is the biggest long shot.

I edited & changed Trautman to a question mark. I think that's fair.

Vannett looked pretty good to me after he finally got healthy last year. He was our best TE at the end of the season imo.

Vannett was, basically, injured for the 1st half of the season.

Traut like Peat just seems to make bone head plays that are costly as hell. If he plays anything less than great in camp I hope he's off the team.

Trautman looked great in some games and really bad in others.

Vanett didn't impress me especially making 3 mil a yr.

Lots of pressure on all the wide receivers to see who earns the top spots
