The only player I absolutely LOVE is Mason Graham

If he somehow slides to us, we have to take him. He would unlock Breese so it's like 1.5 picks.

I just don’t buy into this kind of thinking considering we’re in full rebuild mode.

If we're rebuilding, we don't need to pick a fricking RB in the top portion of the 1st, regardless of how illogical it would be with Kamara's contract.

Why would we waste 2-3 years of his rookie deal as a part time player only to have to overpay him in a year? Coming out of rebuilding and then overpaying a RB is a recipe for shite sandwiches.

I hate the idea of picking DT’s in the first, especially taking them high. It rarely works out. But Graham reminds me of a better Kyle Williams and has a non stop motor. I think him and Breese could cause major problems for teams.

Still pisses me off we passed Tunsil for Rankins years ago.

Just like Mahomes, he went the pick right ahead of us.

Last thing this team needs is a running back in the first two rounds.

I want McMillian or Graham and then Burden if they both off the board.

Every year we draft either an Offensive, Defensive Lineman or WR in the first round. We will never get out of that cycle- EVER!


This doesn't look to be a particularly strong draft class overall. Particularly at the skill positions. But even if you do like one of the top rated QBs it's unlikely one will be available at #9. Neither will Travis Hunter. Taking a RB in the first round is often not the best idea if, for nothing else, the short shelf-life of most RBs careers. If you don't want a OL, DL, or WR, then what do you realistically have left? CB? TE? Maybe the TE from Penn State?

The reality is you can never have too many good OL/DL. That's the strength of the draft and what the Saints will probably target.
