The same experts that are telling you our pick is a reach, were telling you on Monday that 4 QBs were a lock for the first round (namely Willis at 6). Now 3 of them might not get drafted until the third, possibly even the fourth.

Overreacting to picks on draft day is futile. Can’t judge any of these today.

I mean Tommy Stevens was a 7th rounder. Let’s be real. And Book is in his 2nd year. We really have no idea what he is capable of.

Every team makes bad picks. The saints have been one of the better drafting teams of late. Look at all the teams that have just decided to trade high picks for players because they don’t have confidence in their FO drafting. Try not to focus too much on late picks that don’t become hall of famers

Both were taken in the 4th or later, which is usually a crapshoot of players with a big question mark (or multiple).

This was one of the most unsettled drafts that I remember and just about everyone admitted it

What’s the RB situation, Les? Or DT. Enough left to wait on our picks or do we need to move back in with some ‘24 draft capital?

I get it’s all entertainment but that’s what annoys me in their grades “they could have gotten ______ one round later “ how the frick do you know that ?

I’m a Broncos fan, but you guys have had a solid draft
From an outside perspective, I’d be pretty excited

We REALLY need to take the best RB on the board in the 5th or go after the best available undrafted one. It looks to be the biggest hole left.

It just depends, it’s all relative.

Good RB easy to get in 5th

No one said 4 QBs were going first round.

Please provide one example of an analyst thst said 4 QBs were a LOCK for the first. Please note a mock projecting picks is not saying they are a LOCK. Then show where the same analyst said the Saints CB was a reach
