Package 13 and 30 to get to top 5. Get Amari Cooper. Use cap room to help defense



Couldn't disagree more.

Offensive skill position players are not going to help our awful OL or abysmal defense. We don't need FA bandages. We need franchise LT and franchise MLB.

13- Scherff/ La'el
31- McKinney

I'd be happy with Dorial Green-Beckham at 31 also but MLB seems like more of a need at this point

if Beasley or Scherff are there at 13 take them otherwise Trae Waynes is a solid pick. We might be able to get a LB like Benardrick McKinney at 31

There's still a ton of physical corners like PJ Williams, Marcus Peters, or Kevin Johnson that we could take in the second round.

Why do so many people want an OT? Strief is a very good RT and Armstead is about average, but super athletic, young, and with tons of room to improve.


The thought process is that scherff/ Collins would play OG in place of one of our overpaid guys now, then possibly slide out to rt when strief is done

Knowing Payton's penchant for trying to jump up in the draft, I would not be surprised if he trades them both to move up into the top ten. (not saying this is what I want him to do, just saying it fits his pattern)

Looks like the Saints are focusing on being a strong running team. La'el Collins could definitely be the target at 13.


That could be faptastic. Rebuild the core of the offense and pick up a few weapons in FA and later rounds of the draft.

Batch 'em up and trade for a wide receiver.

I'm starting to think this is the plan. If they sign a big FA DB and maybe a Linebacker, then I think this starts to look like the plan.

Draft a WR and MLB and sign a CB in free agency. Or any combination of that.

Unless you can pull a trick rabbit that can play MLB out your stupid arse magical hat then it's obvious we have to draft a LB

That's fine. I like both of those guys. But people are saying "OT" and leaving it at that without specifying that they be flexible enough to play outside as well.

And I think guard may be more important than RT, especially for us. If Scherff or Collins come in and play well at guard, I wouldn't move them outside.

TheCaperpillar,

We get it, you think Jameis is immature and stupid. If that's you opinion of him off the field that's fine.

If that's your opinion of him on the field, however, you couldn't be more mistaken. The dude is a borderline savant from an Xs and Os standpoint. He's had a personal QB coach drilling him on coverages and protections since he was in the 6th grade. Many people say his IQ is the highest since Manning (higher than Luck when he came out).

I'm worried about his immaturity off the field, but the kid is VERY smart.

ideally, you dont trade Jimmy Graham for an extra pick and use it to move up.

trade back, maybe. That would fall in line with their logic behind this trade.

they want/need to add bodies. They arent 1 player away

I think top LB and top CB now that we have Unger... But I would not be upset if we got Collins over a CB.
