re: Saints have left a conspicuous Alontae-sized gap in their defense

Yeah, we replaced CJGJ with Taylor and will replace Taylor as well. I think a shutdown corner might be more important than the nickel spot. That was a leftover of Dennis Allen and Staley might want to change how he plays that position.
Too early to really say what this position will be. A guy like Styles or Bailey might change how you play that position all together.

That said, drafting a guy like Downs in the top ten to fill his role is a compliment to Taylor. I think a guys like Downs can do everything Taylor did with better coverage ability.

Draft Kyle Louis in the 3rd round

How is star above pass rusher. Idiot again.

The star position is often used as a pass rusher.

5th round?

Elliss will be used as a pass rusher pretty often in this scheme as well

4th. Idk if Perkins will even be there for our 2 late 4ths.

I would spend a fourth just on potential. I’m not sure he’s played his best or found his most productive role. Homer? Perhaps lol

his demeanor has been off putting at times. Perkins is a bit of a strange cat. hard to read.

Downs played a total of 41 snaps at outside CB in three collegiate seasons.
Taylor averaged 400 snaps a year at outside CB, and another 415 in the nickel. 100 in the box and a handful off the edge blitzing.
We can downplay his effectiveness but you’d be hard pressed to find one guy who will fill his role. And no, CJGJ did not fill that role either

Perk is a question mark surrounded by a mystery wrapped in an enigma

I get what you are saying dude, but was that Taylor’s college stats? If not, I obviously don’t think that is a fair comparison.
Again though I am not trying to disparage what he did in our scheme, but I do think the coaches did a great job of creating a role that fit his strengths and he excelled.
I don’t think he is some type of irreplaceable, generational player, but we’ll see when he suits up for Tennessee.

I’m so pissed we didn’t keep him. You draft 2 good ones in the secondary and lose both. Adebo and Taylor. I hate it.
Posted on 3/17/26 at 2:37 am to Burt Macklin
He can play it but he can’t even stay on the field. Be crazy to count on him at this point.

He was bad at everything but rushing the passer. No clue why so many fans are enamored with him. Toast in coverage and missed way too many tackles.

I think we are targeting Downs with the sentiment that Bailey/ Styles will be gone. Not sure if we take Downs > either of those guys if available.
If Bain is available would you take him over Downs?
