re: According to this website we're now picking 24th in round 1 of the draft

24 is official

Why? By all measures he has a good feel for the pocket, decent arm, very accurate in mid and deep passing game. Pretty mobile too. Reminds me a ton of Russell Wilson and how he plays. I don’t think he’d come in like Mahomes and dominate but he could develop into a Pro Bowler fairly easily

They need a vertical passing threat, I don’t care how big or small he is

24th is correct. We had the best regular season record of the teams to lose in the wildcard round.

What would your emotions be if we went with Easton from Washington?

I don’t think a vertical passing threat matters. Brees can’t get it there consistently anymore. He still hits his shots every now and then but a vertical threat isn’t going to add much.


They just need someone who can win consistently over their man on the outside. Cook is good but against a good safeties he can’t get separation. Ginn is about to be 34-35. He’s basically a decoy. That’s what pissed Cooks off about our offense. What kills us is TreQuan not able to win consistently and same for Ginn when he’s not going deep. Brady won those championships not because he was going deep. Their pass game is short to mid range like ours but they had a number of different options that won over the middle or up the seam. Getting a big body like Higgins who can high point over the middle or up the seam would do wonders for our offense

I doubt Rankins goes anywhere. If anything we’ll let Onyemata go and roll with Tuttle behind him.


I’d be totally for drafting a badass Guard at 24 but it’s mostly a Center and Tackle draft and the offense has ignored WR for far too long. If they don’t move up for a QB then they’ll take a WR. Then in round 3 they’ll go guard and hope they hit. If not, they’ll roll with Easton

Brees can’t get it there. What’s the point if they can get deep?

Plus I think a seam threat is more important. Brees hasn’t had that since Graham. Had it in Colston. Need someone who can win over the middle and through the seam. Harris could be a nice deep threat next year

Agree to disagree Les


Ginn isn’t bad and he’s the vertical threat, teams just don’t respect it not because it’s not there but because Brees just doesn’t go to it and when he does he throws picks. Regardless, we need a WR. No matter if it’s Hamler, Duvernay, Jefferson, Shenault or Higgins.
