Who would be your picks at 29 and 40?

I don’t like any of the WRs this class. These are my guys in this order


Lukas Van Ness
Nolan Smith
Calijah Kancey
Bijan Robinson
Jahmyr Gibbs
OCyrus Torrence
Siaki Ika
Antonio Johnson

If it ain’t any of them…that means Murphy or Breese fell but I’m not as big on those guys as the ones listed. I also really like Brian Branch but he won’t fall despite a subpar combine

I love Van Ness but I think he goes top 20. Kancey probably goes around 20-24 too but I would love if either fell. I know it’s taboo to draft RB in round 1 now but if Bijan Robinson is there you have to take him. He and Kamara would be the best RB tandem in the league and you wouldn’t have to run Kamara between the tackles as much. This is considered a down draft with only about 17-20 guys with true round 1 grades so if all else fails it never hurts to beef up your lines.

Bijan is the most complete RB to come out of college in years. He does it all. Gibbs at 40 would be a nice pick too. He was Alabama’s entire offense at times. Van Ness I think is going to be great. If he fell to us it would be a miracle.

I want Calijah Kancey.

Id be very surprised if this dude was there at 29. You run to the podium.

Gibbs and Ojulari(if he's there)

BJ doesn’t really fit our D. We need our DE a little bigger that can hold up in run support. He’s more of a 3-4 OLB in the NFL. Our DE need to be in the 270-290 range.

Man I just can't see a 1st rd or even a 2nd rd RB.

Cam Jordan summed it up in a response tweet to someone who mentioned Cam to "Get on this one" when the Titans announced they were shopping Derrick Henry.

Cam's response,
"Why? Do you know the offense we've built the last two decades::.. Lol we refuse to give AK 20 totes a game...D Henry need 30-40 but ok"

He's got a point. The Saints are not a RB driven team. but we do need to draft a young guy this year just not at 29 or 40.

Gibbs is essentially Kamara 2.0.

If we have a chance at him I would certainly consider it.

Exactly. Gibbs would effectively replace Kamara allowing you to shop him after next year when his suspension is behind him. Someone will take him just like they took Christian McCaffrey. We won’t get the return Carolina did but to get off his contract and maybe get a 3rd round pick? I’ll do that deal. We have to find a power back though wether that’s a free agent or draft pick or both. My first choice would be Jamaal Williams from Detroit but if he’s out of our price range I like Alexander Mattisson from the Vikings. In the draft there’s a ton of quality power backs you can get in the middle rounds. My first choice would be beef up the front 7 and find a replacement for Peat though.

I’d pick Robinson if he fell to 29, (but it’s not happening) Gibbs if he’s there at 40 (also doubtful but there’s a chance) depending on what else is there, but I’d really want Tank or Achane in the third. That’s where the value is at.

I think we have to get a dt or de with our first and kinda hoping for Antonio Johnson in the 2nd with a rb in the third.
