A lot of mock drafts are saying we take:

Da'Quan Bowers/ Defensive End. But is he BPA? I mean really, I look at this draft with little value now that Luck is gone. Is he #1 pick worthy? Everette Brown is a bust (please present evidence that suggests otherwise). Charles Johnson is a beast and could use someone on the other side to complement him. Brayton is a solid plug in, not good and not bad. We can sure up the DT position in Free Agency and/or a late round draft pick.

Is ANYONE #1 Pick worthy? None of the QB's are, but do we reach? None of the QB's are "the sure thing". They are just players on the rise with "potential". I wouldn't mind a QB, but if we draft one every season with our 1st pick then we will end up sitting back at #1 the following season.

I would like AJ Green based off the fact we don't have a "true #1" anymore. Smith is getting older and might want out (all evidence leads to that). Gettis and LaFell have potential to be really solid, we are yet to see what Edwards can do. Spending 3 picks on WR's last season and getting rid of a highly valuable #33 overall. Do you take another WR?

I wouldn't take Peterson at #1 overall. You can fill the void in Free Agency/Trades/late round picks/etc. I would consider taking him if we traded down though (highly unlikely considering there is almost no one worth the #1 overall, no trade value).

Nick Fairley could give us some young talent at DT. But I honestly think you can fill this hole in Free Agency/Late round draft pick.

I also know this is the 10,000th thread about such a topic.

Thoughts?

actually someone just posted evidence on why Brown isn't a bust.. don't feel like searching it though, but of the guys that came out with him he's doing pretty well comparatively..QUOTE]

I've seen flashes from him, and even some solid plays by him. But him not ever on the field (and when he was, being invisible) really put up some question marks for me. I think he deserves 1 more season of judgement with a coach who can do something with the defense (i.e Rivera).

      Trade deadline

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      Saints trade WR Shaheed to Seahawks Seahawks get: WR Rashid Shaheed Saints get: 2026 fourth-round pick, 2026 fifth-round pick Seahawks' grade: A- Saints' grade: B+ One of the NFL's hottest passing teams just got better. The Seahawks currently rank third in EPA per dropback (0.25) and first in success rate on dropbacks (53%). And now they are adding Shaheed in a move that makes sense both on the field and in terms of where the Seahawks are as a franchise. Shaheed, 27, is averaging 1.8 yards per route run this season. But I think that sells him short because that number is down a bit from his career average entering this year (2.0) and he's been playing a role that includes running fewer vertical routes (34%) compared to last year (44%). Shaheed also has consistently posted above-average open scores in ESPN's receiver score metrics, including a 63 this season that ranks 28th among wide receivers. As a complement to Jaxon Smith-Njigba, I expect Shaheed will run downfield more often and be a bigger threat in that role than rookie Tory Horton was. When Cooper Kupp returns, he and Shaheed will make for a nice pair of secondary threats behind one of the best receivers in the league in Smith-Njigba. This is the time to strike for the Seahawks. FPI gives Seattle an 84% chance to make the playoffs and a 5% shot at winning the Super Bowl. This addition helps boost their chances without mortgaging their future the way the Colts did in the Sauce Gardner trade. Shaheed is a pending free agent but given the leverage of the moment for the Seahawks and their need I think they ought to be plenty willing to pay the cost. Shaheed is young enough to where if Seattle doesn't retain him he should sign a free agent contract that would yield Seattle a compensatory pick -- if the Seahawks don't nullify that pick with signings of their own. Because the Seahawks currently have $79 million in cap space next year, per OverTheCap, getting that compensatory pick is not guaranteed. The Saints are not rolling in cap space the way the Seahawks are -- and thus would land a compensatory pick for Shaheed -- but they got more draft capital this way than they otherwise would have. Considering New Orleans' 1-8 record, this should have been an easy decision.
