NFL Draft TE Tyler Warren as Saints 1st pick? (1 Viewer)

i read an article that quoted a few anonymous GMs that said there are no more than 8 players with first round grades. not that they are right as some will end up being great players but i hope we get one of the first round talents.

Ya. This isn't the draft to trade up. Most the QB's look like they will be career backups. Theres really only 4 incredible talents and thats Ashton Jeanty, Travis Hunter, Mason Graham and Will Johnson. Might be able to make a case for Kevin Banks. It's possible we see people give up the farm to try and trade up for those forementioned 4.

But really, I would be accumulating as many 2nd and 3rd round picks and draft from large amounts of 2nd round talent, because it seriously seems like the back of the 1st round, 2nd round and 3rd round are all 2nd round talent.

Yes! I been trying to hype him up all season!!

Same here, although I have been hope we could get him in the 2nd. But the way his year has progressed, I think he's gone in the first but probly not the best where we'll be picking.

And I say no way he gets past Denver.

I haven't seen that article but that seems to be the case. There looks like 5-10 first round talents and about 80 guys that could have second round grades. A higher draft pick this year obviously gives you more options but not necessarily better talent. It's not a great class but it looks like a deep one. The Saints need to hang on to those day 2 picks.

I agree that drafting a top tier TE will be very important for us, especially if we will have a young QB in the near future. So, I agree with the importance of getting a TE.

That said, the upcoming draft is loaded with future NFL TEs. There are at least 12 very good TEs this year. Granted they aren't all Warren, but there will be big time talent in rounds 2-4 this year.

I've seen pretty little of college football too, but from watching UT, Pearce looks pretty mid in comparison from last year. Would realistically prefer Abdul Carter but still had to rep my boy.

Going to keep an eye on Carter tonight. I did one of those mock drafts and he was BPA so I went and watched some highlights. Holy Cow. His physical ability and awareness is crazy. Seems to line up at MLB a lot for Penn St even though he is listed as Edge for the draft.

Mason Graham or franchise QB please.

Go Blue!

Keep an eye on DL Jordan Burch from Oregon also. He's a large man with bad intentions. He's going to be a good pro.

No. Never spend a 1st rounder on TE. He also just benefits from the fact that the QB always throws to him mostly. He is bigger than the college athletes on the field. That don't matter in the NFL

Dear lord please when posting about a talented athlete may the comparisons to Taysom stop.

He is a unique athlete, with unique ability, size and speed and body type. There isn't anyone in the NFL with his body type that's how unique he is on that account. NFL hard to be good at one thing let alone 5 things he really good at.

Homie you just described Tyler Warren. Jimmy Graham and Gronkowski were also bigger than the college athletes on the field. It mattered a lot once they got into the NFL. It's hilarious you're using a dude being the primary weapon on the #4 team in the country as a negative against him.

I agree top 10 is too rich for him but if we end up in the 13-18 range it's really hard to find a weapon as dominant as Tyler Warren

 

[BreesHOF2024]

18 seems too high to me given what I think are his athletic limitations. I mean, he's not close to being a Brock Bowers and I'm not even sure he's the best TE in this draft who I think it probably Loveland at Michigan. But I'm just some dude with a computer so I could be wrong about his value.

Warren literally has double the stats Loveland has this year. Watch when he runs in the 4.5's at 6'6 260lbs in March. These 2nd-3rd round takes have me rolling

I love Warren but to be fair to Loveland, he has more receiving yards than all of the Michigan WR's combined. Michigan just can't/doesn't throw the football this year. They're both really good prospects.

Is there a Darrel Washington in this draft? Steelers are starting to use just as I expected and wanted him for. Just wait until he's worked into the RZ targets.

 

[SaintRay]

No.

We need Big Uglies on both sides of the ball.

Is number 11 for Penn State in this year’s draft? Fast, smart and makes a lot of plays.

Yes. Abdul Carter. Projected top 7 or 8 pick. I hope a couple teams can’t help themselves and they grab a QB or 2 and he falls to us.
