They actually have drafted some guys that have had top 30 visits.

Just not first rounders

Apparently David Bailey assaulted a photographer in 2025? And stomped on a players head in 2024?

What do you guys think about this? Big deal or who cares?

Meh


It is funny though how some of these things get played up big time for some prospects but for others it never comes up

I know the Saints have signed Ty Chandler and he can be a good kickoff return man but the Saints will need to get a new punt returner.

Dante Pettis took over for Shaheed after he was traded and averaged just 6.7 yards per return

Shaheed was nearly at 13 with 12.9 yards per return

a late round or even a possible rookie undrafted free agent name to remember Kaden Wetjen. Not a whole lot of production as a WR but Iowa is hardly a school known for offensive prowess.

On 36 offensive touches in 2025, he forced 15 missed tackles. He also contributed in the run game with 14 carries for 76 yards and two touchdowns on jet sweeps and end-arounds.

special teams is where he could have an instant impact. He owns a career kick return average of 27.5 yards with two touchdowns, and a punt return average of 17.5 yards with four scores.

At the combine, Wetjen ran a 4.47-second 40-yard dash with a 1.58-second 10-yard split and posted an elite 6.95-second three-cone.

I remember Shaheed was an undrafted free agent, but he was also out of Weber state. Wetjen is out of Iowa so most likely way more on the radar.

Hearing talk about Commanders moving up for Love . Pairing him with Daniels seems to have a lot of appeal…

…..regardless of hesitancy to move up for a running back.
It’s fun to think about how he would work with the Saints. Kamara has not been much of a factor lately…

I’m not saying anything like this plausible. But from a purely personnel perspective it’s interesting..,

With the Giants now having two top 10 picks I wonder how that changes their #5 now? CB is a need.

His drops and contested catch rate worry me. It's not the end all or definitive that he'll bust but it is a bit concerning for a 1st and even more so, for a Top 10 pick.

quote:

Concepion had 7 drops on 61 receptions in 2025, a 10.3% drop rate (not career high).
. . .
Concepion had 7 drops on 53 receptions in 2024, 11.7% drop rate
. . .
Concepcion's 66.7% contested catch rate in 2025 was preceded by a 33.3% contested catch rate in 2024 and a 35.7% contested catch rate in 2023.
