The Saints will draft Wisconsin lineman Michael Dieter or Aggie Erik McCoy if either is available as both fit a need. If not, then hopefully D K Metcalf, Deebo SAmuel or Parris Campbell are still on the board.

They might move up if ther is a certain player they covet. There are some good offensive lineman ;left in addition to Dieter and McCoy.

DK Metcalf is trash, they might as well forego the pick if that's the plan.

i ready he struggles with shotgun snaps.

AJ Brown is probably the better WR fit than Metcalf.

I would be ok with the Wisconsin lineman. All of their O-lineman seem to be sure-fire things in the NFL.

Thought he was taken, but still there. Doubt he lasts more than next 5 to 10 picks.

A defensive lineman is possible depending on how their draft board looks at pick time, but tend to think they will wait until veterans are released and pick up a couple of players a tath time as they have done with that position in the past.

They might attempt to trade to get a third or fourth round pick to get Moreau or Sternbeger or a couple of other tight ends who might still be on the board.

Think O line is by far most pressing need. Our offensive production changed dramatically after the injuries. Gotta take an O lineman if there's one worth it when we pick....looks like the Saints were thinking the same as I was

True, but neither will be there unless we trade up. Same with Parris.

Deebo could fall, but someone will fall in love - he's the Anthony Miller of this year's draft I would guess.

Probably gearing tward an interior lineman who can play center and guard. If they are comfortable with Clapp and Tom going forward they may go for tackle depth. As alkways though best player available unless there is a pressing need for a position.

I'll be so pissed if we take Moreau in the 2nd. Wouldn't mind him in the mid rounds(3-5) though.

Erik McCoy then. He's a center that can also play guard. All the other guys either just play center, just play guard, or are guards that can also play center if needed.

Would be a good pick.

They might have to trade to ge Moreau as they don't have a 3rd or 4th and Foster will likely be gone by round 5.

We were both right, I said best O lineman, I figured at that stage it would be a C\G. You actually specified C\G, regardless that was a GREAT pickup

Thanks. The Saints had a great draft especially given the limited picks going in. The most intriguing is the last one. Kaden Ellis measurable are off the chart . Incredible production and splas plays even if at a lower level. Could be another unknown steal Saints are known for
