If we are terrible this year and pick top 5 are you taking Will Campbell or a QB?

I think it’s safe to say our OL is going to be possibly the worst in the league and Campbell could be the best LT to come out of the draft in years.I might be with the unpopular opinion but in a draft where there are no big 3 like this draft had, give me the kid that you know is your starting LT day one for a decade and let Fuaga move to RT or G depending how good or bad Penning does at RT.

i'll be hopeful for our oline progression this year. would rather draft a dt, but ot looks like it could be the way to go. we'll have to see. campbell would be a great pick.

If he's available, Campbell no doubt.
If Fuaga is a stud at LT, target Emory Jones later in the first.

You take the QB every time

The Saints are goin no where with Carr

The only way for the Saints to have any hope of a championship organization is to draft an elite QB

But what elite QB do you see in this class?There are no Daniels, Williams or Maye in this draft. We could do a lot worse to have Campbell and Fuaga as your bookend tackles for the next 10 years.Then you have McCoy at C and Ruiz is still serviceable at RG. LG you can sign a 2nd tier guy that doesn’t break the bank and draft another interior player in the middle rounds to develop. The OL could go from the NFL’s laughing stock to one of the best units in the league in just a year or two. A good OL
is the start to any good offense.

I would take Campbell and see how Rattler looks with a good OL.

This is not the QB class where this statement applies.

There was no Daniels last year at this point either. He made his name, as far as a great NFL prospect, during the season. Same with Burrow a few years ago. Neither one of them, going into their final year, was a likely 1st round pick.

If there’s a generational guy at a non-QB position and you’re so bad you’re picking top 5, take the generational guy and pick the QB next season because you’re going to be picking top 5 again anyway LOL

True but at least when you’re picking top 5-10 again in 2026 you will have a solid OL built for the QB you draft.

Campbell…Rattler is the future. Give him a competent Oline and he could be a game changer once the game slows down for him.

Deone Walker the big DT from Kentucky would be right up there to me.

That depends on who the QB is. If it was someone I thought would be a successful franchise QB, I would take the QB.

Beck, Sanders, Milroe and Ewers are your top QB next year. No thanks.

Can we just stop with the fuaga to guard shite?

He is about to be the starting left tackle when the season starts. Every player and coach is raving about his attitude and mentality.

Mccoy said he is by far the best rookie he's been around. He isn't playing guard in the nfl.

I said if you draft Campbell you move Fuaga to RT where he played in college. The only way he gets moved inside is if Penning is better than him and there’s no chance of that.
