All you have to do is go back and look at the 2011 LSU defense. One of the best defenses of all time.
Off the top of my head, Clairborne, Mingo, and Montgomery were all dogshit in the pros. Only Brockers Matthieu and Reid really ended up as studs. Couple of other guys like Minter and Logan were solid pros.
Also I’m not saying you should never draft them. Just that the “oh my god eagles are geniuses and killing the draft” narrative because they’re just drafting Georgia guys is absurd.

Still have 146 and 257 left.

Not bad honestly. In these lower rounds not really a big deal to give that up to get a kid you like. Whether he pans out or not is a different question.

Haener had a 96 on the S2 test. 2nd highest behind Bryce Young.

Not geniuses but I will say i like carter and nolan. They were good picks. Whether they pan out, time will tell. I worry about the off fiekd stuff for Carter. I still think they fleeced us in that trade but agaib time will tell on how these guys develop.

We going to target the top WR on board at 146? I don’t see a TE that I feel is worth taking here but Carr needs another guy.

At that point you take players you think you can’t get in UDFA.
I would like a DB and a LB or pass catcher.

Looks like still some good players to be had

Is Henry Toto’to’to or whatever still there?
Posted on 4/29/23 at 12:45 pm to msstate7
Little run on QBs. Haener, Bennett, then Aidan O’Connell

The TE pool is deep. Maybe smart to pick a talented guy here.

If we can draft AT Perry here in the 5th, I’m giving this draft a solid A

Love the Browns draft considering their lack of draft capital.

Jake Haener, who wore No. 9 because of Drew Brees, said the Saints were his team growing up because he was such a fan. ... Wore Saints gear, Saints beanies etc.
Says it's fine he'll have to pick a new number in NOLA (I believe jersey No. 19 is available)

New Saints QB Jake Haener said he just got off the phone with new teammate and fellow Fresno State product Derek Carr.

Jake Haener said he’s studied tape with Drew Brees. They watched Brees’ 2019 film together

Haener said that Derek Carr has been a sounding board for him over the years. The two just spoke after the pick. Carr told Haener he was excited to mentor him.

Natural Drew Brees comps with new Saints QB Jake Haener (without the lofty expectations obviously). Just a shade under 6 feet tall, big Brees fan who wore No. 9 because of him. ESPN draft analyst Todd McShay just raved about how well he sees field to make up for lack of height.

Saints had room for a young developmental QB along with Derek Carr, Jameis Winston and Jake Luton. They cut their last fourth-round pick, Ian Book, at the end of the 2022 preseason and he was claimed off waivers by the Eagles.
