The kid is good. The Saints fans had to sit through nearly 40 years of only being able to brag about Archie Manning and that half-footed field goal kicker. Let 'em enjoy themselves.

Their current QB is also finished/in a contract year and they have one pick in the top 80 in April 2018.

I seriously doubt Kamara would be doing the exact same thing here. Much worse oline for the 1st half of the season and much less accurate QB throwing to him, AND shula running him up the gut 99 percent of the time , take out almost all those huge outside runs he had!

The Saints should brag for once about the draft.  They hit it out of the park with that kid, and their draft overall looks at least in Year 1 to be the best in the NFL.

The Panthers hit it out of the park in 2013, the Falcons did in 2015, and the Saints did in 2017.  I guess the Bucs are due something sometime.

CMC is going to solid if not spectacular.  Nothing against CMC, but objectively speaking, getting Lattimore and Kamara is better than just CMC.  Still, CMC has been a good pick and is continuing to improve.  Kamara will probably win OROY and deserves it.  CMC has still added a lot to our offense.  It's going to be tough b/c he is always going to be compared to Kamara, but to me CMC at least now looks like the 3rd or 4th best offensive weapon taken in the draft after Watson, Kamara and maybe Fournette.  Over time Watson will be the best pick b/c of the position he plays, and he would have almost certainly won OROY if he stayed healthy.

Both CMC and Kamara will probably have very good careers.  A year ago, Micheal Thomas looked like a much better WR choice than Devin Funchess.  It's more of a wash now that Funchess is in a better position to succeed, and Funchess may have the most upside.

Kamara has benefitted by being in the right system with Sean Payton, having Brees throwing to him, and Ingram to compliment him.  People forget that Ingram was considered a borderline bust at one point, and now is playing at a Pro-Bowl level.  Still, Kamara deserves all the accolades he has received.

Devonta Freeman was the best RB in football last year, but he has had a string of injuries and the concussions for him are every bit as much of a concern as Kuechly.  So much goes into a players success, and injuries, coaching, and other players around you can change so much.

The Saints finally had a good draft after 5+ of colossal failure.  It's been good for us, b/c they wasted a lot of Brees's  prime along with some horrendous FA picks.

so Kamara isn't as good because he's got a great o-line?

      DJ Moore. The quitting WR

      By fieryprophet · Posted

      This play was never designed to go to either DJ or Odunze. The primary read is Burden who is stymied early, with the outlet being Kmet if Caleb doesn't like the option for Burden. Given the situation it's pretty obvious the simple play is to take the free yards with Kmet, or if you want to be aggressive just wait a beat longer for Burden to uncover on his double move. If Moore was ever going to be a viable target in this play then Caleb should have started out reading Odunze to hold the safety in the middle and then coming to Moore, but because he started the snap staring down the right and then came back to the middle late it made it where the safety's leverage remained to the outside of Moore, so he would never have imagined that pass actually being thrown to him in that situation. Realistically DJ's best option in that context is to just occupy the safety to leave a hole open for Caleb to get it to Burden, which is probably why he throttles down vs carrying the safety across.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By panfanman · Posted

      Even with Sonny Styles still on the board I thought it's a no brainer to address the Oline after Icky's injury.  And how can you pass up Fano at 19 given our situation. Then the rest of the draft just kind of made sense with maybe the exception of Klubnik.  But if Canales can fix him and Young goes down. . .I think it's a solid pick. What do you think of this draft?
