Whatever they do, it's gonna screw us.  With them taking whoever they get, and the Falcons taking Lance that win against Washington really fuged us.  No matter what we get at 8, both of them got better and did so ahead of us.

This will really be the test of how good of a coach Rhule is.

Good lord, some of you will still be ranting about Rhule putting the dagger to Rivera on your death bed.

If the talk is about moving up in front of us in particular, then it 100% has to be for Sewell if he falls, as there is nobody else they'd want to keep us from drafting as any other position, there would would be multiple options of similar level/value.

But I can't see how they could make that jump, even with the connection with the Lions HC, they'd have to give up at least 2 future firsts and likely a little more to make the jump that high.  No reason for the Lions to move THAT far down in the draft for anything less than that.

Hell, I don't even want to move back to 15 with the Patriots unless we're also getting their Second this year and First next year, too big of a drop given the players we can get at 8 and there.

And to be honest, as much as I want Sewell, I just don't think the Saints are a SB contender right now with their QB issues without Brees, so if they want to mortgage their future first rounders to take a player we want, so be it, we'll still get a great player at 8 or trade down a few spots and still get a great player while picking up extra picks.

Totally disagree...they want a QB...let them give up a bunch to get ahead of us...the only QB I really like is Lawrence....and maybe Jones

Boy I hope so. I'm mentally preparing for Pitts.

    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
