Some buzz/tea leaf reading re: Saints: • If they make a move, it would be within 7-8 slots either away from No. 24. • They have a RB (Taylor?) graded highly in R1. They have another they like later. • LB most likely comes in mid-rounds. • OL is quite possible at No. 24.

He’s not a hybrid. He’s a super athletic OLB. In today’s NFL, I think this position is becoming very important. See how different atlanta’s defense was when D. Jones was injured.

I’ve said this before

Staying at 24 and taking Ruiz or Josh Jones then trading back into the first, like we did with Ingram, for Taylor, seems to make more sense than to just take a RB only. And I don’t think we’d move up for a RB. I really don’t think we move up at all unless a super talented WR gets past the Broncos.

I’m not paying that for a TE stopper tho.

I hear you but 2 plays by opposing TEs fricked our season last year. I’m not saying you draft someone exclusively for that, but he could do it

I know he’s unique but figure out his comp as ask yourself if that guy is worth giving a 1st for? Idk I just couldn’t do it

Idk who his comp is. Thomas Davis maybe?

Maybe. I just think he’s so good and so athletic you just kinda figure it out. I see zero bust potential.

People are crazy for saying they wouldn't take tua at 24 or anywhere close

For some reason I think the saints get Jonathan Taylor somehow, maybe trading back in the 2nd

I’ll melt if we take him in the first round

I know Payton and Allen said they like the depth at WR and LB but we don’t have a second round pick. Makes no sense to pass on those positions just because there’s depth there

Do whatever it takes to win now. The window is closed after this year.
