I hope DG is learning from Loomis.

I hope Loomis is learning from DG.

Hardy's contract situation is exactly why we should consider trying to get one of the top 2 DEs in this draft. I think there could be a possibility there if we end up trading Graham for a 1st round pick. Even without it though...I'd say that if Kony Ealy or Murphy is there at 27 they'd be BPA and I'd have no problem taking either. Cheap, effective, pass rushers for Rob which is exactly what he needs.

If we are going to get a tight end I think there will be lots of guys who are good with a 1 or 2 year contract at this point.  We should be able to pick up a good guy for not that much. There are guys like Pettigrew, Finley or Myers who have something to prove and are not going to get big money at this point.  Chandler, Keller and Davis could also play in our TE friendly system. Honestly it won't cost a ton of money and we can shore this position up and take a flier on a kid in the later rounds of the draft so we build for the present and for the long term as well.

Of the Top 10 TE's in yardage this year, only 2 were drafted in the 1st round (Gonzales and Olsen). 1 was drafted in the 2nd round. The remaining 7 were drafted 3rd round or later.

Could that not be said of a lot of positions? Mercedes Lewis was a #28 pick and has been a pro bowler.

I have been on this train for awhile! The boom/bust at #28 for TE vs any other position has me thinking TE all the way. Ebron/Amaro/ASJ for me, and a good argument could be made for ASJ above any since he's the best run blocker to boot! 6'6, 276, coordinated, basketball player, etc=unreal! And, again, NE, Seattle, the falcons or bucs will be like vultures if we don't! A premier TE would be great value at #28!

The only thing DG should learn from Loomis is what not to do.

 

Exactly.

 

Outside of getting lucky by signing Brees (only got him because the idiot Dolphins made the wrong choice), the Saints organization has been terrible.

 

Brees wanted to go to Miami....only went to NO because Miami passed on him.

 

Throw in the radio spying and Bountygate, and the Saints are NOT an organization you want to emulate.

    • Biiiiiig eyeroll on this.  First, Look at historical stats of the most recent historical great DBs.  I plucked 3, Revis, Sherman, and Norman (cuzz he was our guy).  Combined post age 30, there are TWO pro bowls between those 3 and wanna get this...ZERO seasons with 16 games started.  ALL missed time.  It is RARE that Corners survive that long in the NFL and its about time we started recognizing this fact.  Jaycee is a good bet because it hasnt been anything seriously devastating injury wise, and with his sample size he could and should be an incredible piece for the panthers through age 30. Jaire kinda flops on the other side, hes 28...so hes under 30, but he wants his payday before it comes up, hes also been injury prone lately.  Bulk of the contract will be on opposite side of 30.  Will both of these guys help us be better in 2026?  SURE!  No doubt, but the question is, will these guys help us past 2026...not sure. The investment isnt worth the risk, nor would the ROI be anywhere close to worth it.  Neither guy is moving us from a 6-8 win team to a 8-10 team, period. My point is we're in this state a 6-8 win team IMO and he projects us as  a 4-6 win team.  EVEN if we think Jaire or Ramsey will make us a 6-8 win team, it in NO WAY is worth the money or capital to move that much just to suck kinda less.  
    • I assumed he was retiring but apparently he plans on playing multiple more seasons.  Florida is gonna have trouble holding onto everyone.  Happens to all teams that have that much success.
    • I hate Marchand, but if he became a free agent.....
