The mental gymnastics in this thread.

I'm still trying to be optimistic but Tepper is starting to lose favor with me.    Keeping Hurney around...... man.

It’s ridiculous. 2019 was an IOL draft. We could have had a C in McCoy and a G (T backup) in Evans. Instead we reached for Little who looked awful at the combine drills. This year in a stud OT draft, we went DT. Don’t get me wrong, I like Brown, but because of Little (i.e. Hurney) we spent $13.5M on an injured Okung and missed out on right now having an OL of Wirfs/Becton/Wills at LT, McCoy at C, Evans and Daley at G and Moton at RT. Again, no offense to Brown, but wouldn’t that young OL be nice to have instead of Little and Brown?

Here’s the top rookies this year, notice all three top tackles we could have taken:

I mean, you could literally say the same thing about our defensive line had we not drafted Brown.  

Spoiler alert, this team has a LOT of holes.  We could have went with damn near any position in the draft and it would have made sense.

Well, not really. Having our LT, G and C holes filled is a lot better than having Brown fill one DT hole. We’d still have Burns, Roy and YGM. If Daley is OK at G as well you are one Moton extension away from having the entire OL set for 2+ years and your T positions set for 4+ years. I’ll take that over Brown.

The point is smart GMs draft to the strength of a draft like the Saints taking McCoy instead of reaching at a weaker position like us taking Little. If he’s such a great college scout he would know that the 2020 tackle class looked great.

Yeah we probably should've not signed Teddy or Roberts. Hell, without Teddy we may have had a realistic shot at Fields/Lawrence... Better hope that Teddy mentoring a young QB in the next 2 years was worth it, and it still could be. I can't think of a QB much better than Teddy to mentor a young guy and be the bridge until he's ready to start like Smith with Mahomes. But is that worth losing out on all that draft capital? To be determined.

We probably don't need to move up to get a decent QB if we end up with a top ten pick.

Agreed, I think we'll be in position to get one of the 4 top tier QB prospects. But you'd still prefer to have a higher pick to have your choice of QB if possible than to only have 1 or 2 to pick from. Plus the comp picks lost out on...

Moving up to draft little and didn’t hurney say they had Grier rated higher than KyMurray ?  These 2 things here should cost the whole scouting dept and hurney their jobs.

• Carolina: It is now more likely that Vernon Butler’s contract will be valued as a 5th rounder than as a 6th. If that’s the case, then the Panthers would get a 5th for his dyeparture instead of a 6th for a different player’s departure.

Teddy cancels that out the 3rd rounder. Saints got a 3rd rounder for Teddy.
