No. But I don’t think Rhule is in any danger of losing his job. 

I'm getting the same vibe.

I'm in agreements.  I'm not overly impressed with the QB's that will go first round.  I do like the choices for OLine.

Yep, the value in the top 10 is DE, OT and CB

Sets up great for the Panthers

slide back and pick up a fantastic OT while letting the Saints mortgage their entire future on some big chances at QB.

Then we pick up a guy in the 2nd with the extra pick and we are on our way.  Next year, when the Saints have no picks, is a much better year for QB anyway

The Saints wouldn't be mortgaging their entire future on a qb, they've signed Winston, so the rookie qb could sit and develop...

Saints moved up to take a OT 

Or they simply feel they can add 2 really good players. They have an excellent GM and he knows what he's doing

Suddenly, an imperfect quarterback class — one that might’ve led to a more patient approach in the draft — might have just become the main draft storyline, with teams knowing they’ll almost certainly need to fend off the Saints to get their guy.

I always laugh when at the beginning of draft season, no qb is going high. Invariably they move up the draft charts. Can set your watch to it.

Unfortunately, Matt Rhule is playing for his job, and doesn’t care about next year. So, any chance of bettering our draft for next year, probably won’t happen. 

Yeah, because he's insecure like so many on this forum. 

 

[scratched]

the Saints have a starting LT in James Hurst... I just can't see them drafting Neal or Ekwonu to play RT.. Just my opinion.

Not attacking you, but is Rhule making the decisions? I thought Fitterer makes those calls.

It's probably more likely Tepper makes that call. Anything short of trading next years draft is Fitterer and Rhules call.

I'm so OK with trading down. Probably would catch alot of flack, but could you imagine trading down to the mid to late 20's and picking up a 1st for a QB next year and maybe a 2nd or 3rd this year. Grab Green or Johnson to play guard and roll with BC at LT? Trading down for Penning is what I want to happen, but just thinking worst case here. Lets wait on a QB.

what i'm thinking...1st recover 2nd and 3rd...and next year 1st.

Rhule got his choice at choosing the GM, and from my understanding, Rhule edges Fitterer. But, he could have a short leash if that is the case.

Watch Neal and Icky go in picks 1-4 and the saints trade up to 5 for cross. We get Willis or and I pray this doesn't happen, but Rhule runs to the podium for Trevor Penning

10-4 i dont track that info, so have no idea. Yeah if Rhule has a say then we are getting Pickett. 

[rebelrouser]

If Neal or Ekwonu are there at 6 then take them. If not, trade back. Howell, Ridder, and Strong are just as likely to be NFL qb's as Corral, Willis, and Pickett. This is a very unimpressive qb class. Not sure why everyone loves Fields. He is no better than Darnold.
