WR Tet McMillan as the Saints pick at #9?

[TruSaint]

I looked into the top five WRs and it does appear to be a dropoff after Tet. Some things were okay with Luther Burden but he was not so crisp.

Call me crazy but I think Higgins could become just as good. He’s amazing

Thing is. NFL money...

Name the last Samoan NFL player who became a problem.

 

[Silverfox]

In a perfect world, I want Tet and Jack Bech. We need their mentality in the WR corps.

Would be a dream but T Mac won't fall to us.

The best dream we could do is Tyler Warren and Jack Bech

Is Penei Sewell Samoan?

If Tet is impressive enough to get Cam to turn his back on picking defense, who am i to argue?

Cameron Jordan knows who he wants the Saints to draft in Round 1

Cameron Jordan typically advocates for his defensive line, but this time he wants the Saints to pick a specific offensive playmaker in the NFL draft.

I'm all about more weapons on O - if he's there...do it.

 

[Jd101]

He's the guy I want..we can't be trotting out Olave as our number 1, we need a bigger WR to go over the middle. Jeanty would be nice but Miller has played well when given the chance.

If Carr is your QB does it really matter if we have a #1 wr? Give me a RUNNING GAME

Seeing how much top WRs are getting paid,
you have to draft him if he’s there

Yeah - Having a stud WR on a rookie deal is becoming as nearly important to roster building and cap stability as having a young QB on a rookie deal.

This is my line of thinking. Tet won't be a monster with a QB like Carr. He'll make some splash plays but there won't be consistency in production due to Carr and Moore's run preference offense. I just don't see the value in the selection unless you're targeting a 3+ year plan to build for a passing offense (in our scenario).

Moore has been pretty clear he suites his offense to his players not what a specific style of play. Obviously with Barkley last year they dominated in the run game. However the year before with the Chargers Keenan Allen was having a career year despite missing 4 games. Whether we get a guy like Tetairoa, Jeanty, or Warren, I think Moore will do a good job of getting the most out of our top playmakers.

Carr most likely going to be gone after this year, he’s not in our plans in the future

Maybe. Maybe not. There currently is not one QB half as good as Carr on the roster and I can’t see us moving on until we have someone close in value or better.

I'll say this...

When Mickey was asked if he was confident in Carr he said something to the degree of "yes i feel good about Derek. I'm not sure if he qualified but he would have been top 10 in QB rating, top 10 in INT ratio, top 10 in completion percentage. he had some circumstances that affected his play. Middle of the oline gets lost, and you're down your top 2 WR's."

There was a bit more, but that last part about WR combined w/ their attempt to sign Kupp suggest that they want to upgrade the position. I still think there's potential for them to move up and try to get Ward (who I think can perform well without a #1) but if they don't and they have to move forward w/ Carr and Rattler they'd be wise to get a big bodied pass catcher
