Curious how y’all would feel if we drafted someone like Brian Thomas or Odunze… I know we desperately need OL and DL, but we also need a WR to replace Mike Thomas… and added value of getting a good WR on a cheap rookie 5 year deal.

We need to replace a player that hasn't been on the field in 3 years with a first round pick? I'm trying to do the math here and it just doesn't seem to add up.

A lot of that would depend on how they address FA. Loomis still has a lot of contracts to restructure to get under the cap. But you also have the added complexity of needing to get rid of the malcontents to save DA's feelings. Also, historically, the team prefers to address "needs" in FA so they can go BPA in the draft.

So, with the current roster makeup, I'd much rather they address the lines in the 1st 2 rounds. But I also realize that it appears we cannot rely on Marrone to develop an OL player and when looking at the last several DL draft picks, was Breese pure luck? Maybe a CB or WR would be the better value.

it's adding to the wide receiver department, not just replacing someone. And yes, michael thomas's not being 100% and on the field has been a huge part of our lack of success the past 3 years.

No problem at all if they are the top guys on the board.

The Saints only have 3 WRs under contract for 2024 so it makes sense.

A lot premature to make this statement with confidence.

Would be surprised if a quality OL is available. WRs can typically be acquired in later rounds and our OL is an absolute mess.

Odunze
Coleman
Thomas jr
are all legit talents.

I've even seen a guy Troy Franklin as a top 15 pick.

Unless they address OL in free agency they better draft
the best tackle on the board.Its not a exciting pick but
they really need to upgrade the OL.

If Daniels somehow slides you take him. Otherwise you gotta go BPA on either side of the line. Who cares about a WR if you don’t have time to get the ball to him?

I'd be pretty disappointed. Ramcyk is down, Penning wound up on the bench, and we get no pass rush from our D-Line.

Basically, Ray Charles and Helen Keller could see that we need help on both lines before we go big on anything like a WR.

Re-sign Peat to a 1 yr prove it deal. :snickers:

Draft Fuaga.

Have two tackles primed for the future while we ushering Peat and Ram out the door. Still have Young and whomever to help in meantime.

If it were up to me I'd rather build OL first pick. They aren't moving Carr at this point so fire MT off in to the sun. Maybe draft a WR in a later round.

OT should be the priority on the offense.

But, if a player isn't available that fits the spot, then WR would be fine as far as offense goes.

We must get below the cap in a few weeks. How much money is left will determine how many holes we fill via FA's and thus what major needs if any must be addressed in the draft.
