Our defense is gonna set the Tony! Toni! Toné!

Trade both rest if the draft picks and next years 3rd for the Saints 2nd round pick next year.

That’s such an excellent trade. Like, no risk.

I share your concern at safety but this draft ain’t it for FS, like embarrassingly bad at FS.

Stutsman would be perfect.

We put ourselves in position to get the best of the rest of the edge talent available in the second round and we chose him above every other option without having him in for a top-30 visit. I think that should speak volumes about what we think of him.

Revel Green or UCLA D end

If Oladejo or Revel fall to us that would be great.

He runs like Julius Ozempic Peppers

Fair point. The problem with our D last year was primarily our D-line and we plugged that up in FA. Our defense still isn’t top 15 at this point, but none of the players available were going to make us top 15 next year (in 2 years probably). Draft has a lot of players left.

Great pick. The Franchise has to make Bryce Young excel. We have to have an identity and Bryce needs a WR who can pluck anything out of the air; especially in the redzone. Gotta maximize our free agent spending on the O-line. This pick fits with a plan. We have a lot of size at WR. Good luck to defenses playing nickel defense. We’ll run right over you or pass right over you.

Board still far superior to Panthers Twitter.

I love Ivey in the 5th. I think he’s comparable to Mykel or vice versa.

You can explain why it’s the end of the world. Moton is a core player who is still a top 10 RT in the league. We can extend and lower his cap hit if we want, and if he or the team doesn’t want to do that then we are paying a lot of money to a guy who is instrumental to our offense for one more year. The cap hit is not great, but at least he will play and play very well. Our problems have been dead cap.

With the re-signing of BC, and the experienced depth built on the D-line, Dan has plugged a lot of holes before the draft, and really put is in an excellent position on draft day. We can really build this team in the draft the next few years with true BPA before we have to pay Bryce. This will allow us to have talent and depth on the team when we have to eventually pay Bryce.

Wow. This is just awesome. Dan is killing it IMO.

I don’t think you’re wrong at all, but he may be better with the dudes we have in front of him. I used to want Walker at 8, but would now rather trade back some and see if he’s still around. All depends on who is available at 8. Having said that, if there’s one position I trust Dan Morgan with drafting it’s LB.

I think the attraction with Walker, especially considering the FA bolstering of our DL and the attacking SS we signed is that we can now have an attacking defense with Walker that will allow us to disguise pressure. Walker and the SS can blitz from anywhere, and you won’t know who’s coming. Add in that Jaycee has shown chops blitzing from his CB position, Evero has a lot of flexibility. I wouldn’t be surprised if we go CB in the 2nd if the guy from Florida St. is there. Our secondary is thin, but add another shutdown corner and we’re on our way. i think Dan has done a good job in FA. He’s allowed us to address depth and quality on offense if BPA is offense, and if BPA is defense we can really turn our defense into a top 10. i’m not high on Warren at 8. He’s not a top 10 talent at all, and would split snaps with Tremble and Saunders.

Also, looks like if a top OT is there, makes a lot of sense to pick at 8. Doesn’t look like we have a lot of money to pay Icky after next season.

I like because now he doesn’t have to play NT.

We filled a lot of holes to allow us to go BPA, or trade back. If we can trade to the last third of the 1st round and pick up an extra 1st next year, I would think that is a real option if proposed.

Looove Caldwell

Yup

Part 2 is made after some further evaluations of players I really like for us (in no particular order): 1. Azareye'h Thomas (CB Florida St) - excellent size, length and tenacity. Excels in covering intermediate and crossing routes. He’d be excellent on the outside or at nickel. 2. Shemar Stuart (Edge Tx A&M): Monster for an edge. Quick off the line, used in stunts to create mix matches, natural strength, has the bend to get underneath the outside shoulder of OTs, and if you block him with a TE the TE dies. If you block him with a RB, the RB is launched into the QB standing 5 yards away. Did I mention he’s 6’6” 290 lbs? Monster, and who better to learn from than Clowney who had similar traits out of college? I would be fine with him at No. 8. 3. Marcus Mbow (RT): Others here have mentioned him, and I agree with the praise. Recent rumors that Moton may not be extended (boooo). However this guys is a monster athletically and would be a perfect replacement. 4. Isaiah Bond (WR Texas): Our offense had one of the lowest YAC’s in the league last year, because Legette can’t stay running after the catch. This will be Theilan’s last year, and we need Bond’s speed and route running ability. He can be moved in the formation to create mismatches too. Perfect Z receiver whose speed can take it to the house. Also, makes tough catches. This is the type of receiver we need to add to our core. 5. Tyler Shough (QB): Basically a tall Bryce Young in the pocket with stronger arm. Third string QB with two years to learn under Dalton and Young. Will be a luxury back-up. Amazing ball placement: https://youtu.be/SOX2TEq3rjg?si=qu_6CaKuASP4UcTA 6. Shout out to the size of Jalen Walker’s hands. Look at his tape and focus on his paws. Once you notice them it’s all you will see again when watching his film. 7. Good place kickers in this draft [ducks]
