Ross Tucker Pod

Here is a recent podcast Ross Tucker did with Dane Brugler.

They start talking about Lemon around the 7:05 mark.

Brugler talks about his ability to beat zone coverages.

But just taking a look myself, he's like Olave in that they can both get open but when you look at Lemon's highlights, he does more in the YAC dept.

Yards after Catch!

I kind of think he'll be gone by the Saints pick.

A team that I could see taking him is the Giants at #5.

John Harbaugh inherited Ed Reed but also drafted Kyle Hamilton later on in the 1st round.

I'm sure he can appreciate the chance at picking a stud safety when he sees one.

I've seen Bain and Love brought up a lot this year.

that whole thing where the Saints played like arse in the first quarter throughout almost the whole season set up a lot of unfavorable game scripts.

Take the 49ers game for example.

They were in that game, Rattler threw 3 TD's but only had 207 yards on 34 attempts to show for it. Kamara almost got to 100 yards rushing with 99.

But that was also when the 49ers still had all their guys healthy on defense, I think. There at the end of the game Rattler had no chance and their ends met at the QB like maybe twice on that last Saints drive?

The Seattle game was a no contest and so was the Rams game. I guess the fact they had the 49ers and Cardinals at home they played them a lot closer but no Brock Purdy at QB in the game they played us. And Mac Jones also played really well, and I think that was well before the Saints defense settled in and started playing better.

I bring up the NFC West because I think it's fair to say that's who the rest of the conference is probably chasing.

The idea of picking another O-line guy in the Top 10 pisses me off tremendously. I'd almost rather try for at least one starter in free agency. I don't think it's just a Saints problem with O-line development. But since the Saints have used a lot of top picks on their line it's magnified.

---

Tanner koziol- tight end from Houston. Check him out.

He seems very reliable. You don't see him drop the ball really.

That's a lot of TDs over the years in college

screams big time redzone threat.

Seems to check out on the durability angle which is so huge.

I'm tired of seeing so many of the Saints skill guys unable to finish the season.


I'd still say Stowers is my favorite TE prospect at the moment, but I haven't looked at them all and probably won't get around to it to be honest.

Stowers ran a lot out of the slot which isn't unusual, but Vandy was a run heavy team, and he still had 85 targets.

12.4 YPC

also, a converted TE he was recruited as a QB out of high school which is intresting.

Estime doesn't have all that much of a sample size though. No?

How many games did he even play in for the Saints last year? Three or four?

I would probably feel better about picking Love if there were already more pieces in place on offense.

Like for example, what the Lions did when they drafted Gibbs.

The defense finished pretty strong and was playing pretty well there at the end of the season. If you can add the best available piece to the front seven I would probably rather go in that direction.

And I don't have anything against Love.

If we picked him great well then that's that.

I'm really liking TE's Eli Stowers and Sam Rousch. I know that may not necessarily be a serious need, But I'd love either of picks if they happened.

I was talking about Carr there

quote:

---

Carr in the right situation is probably better than Darnold.

Darnold also went 13-3 with the Vikings albeit in an early exit in the playoffs.

When did Carr ever do that ?
