re: Does Etienne signing pretty much make Tate the favorite now at 8?

The only way we went offense at #8 is Love


I really wanted Love. I guess I’m still rooting for him to fall to 8 because think we’d get a great trade down in that scenario.

I think the saints expect love to go top 5 and grabbed the best RB they saw available.

Saints will almost certainly go Defense at 8. I could see us taking one of the OT and sliding Fuaga to guard and calling the Oline a done deal for the next 3 years.

I think this is more realistic than drafting a WR #8.

I wouldn't be surprised if Bain, Delane, McCoy, and another defensive player go before Tate.

It may end up Tate/ Sadiq/ Lemon/ Tyson around #13-#15.

I strongly remember having a 3rd DE who had 10+ sacks last year. We aren't replacing sacks by doing nothing. Need another sack on line to get sacks.

I still think Cam comes back. The Saints are in love with Caleb Downs, he's the pick if he makes it to us. After that maybe Bain if they haven't taken him off their board as an outlier body type. Styles is the dream, but he's not making it to 8.

I’m not necessarily advocating for this, but with games being won in the trenches, it’s not the worst idea. An OL of Banks/Edwards/McCoy/Fuagua/#8 pick with Shough and Etienne behind it, would be kind of awesome.
