Full Saints Offseason Mock

kennydfresh said

Uhhhhh NOOOOOOO, remember ya boy TACO aka BUSTBOY aka GRASS KILLER, I do!! Remember the guy I wanted, Derek Barnett and my other guys in my mock I hit on all of them. So I will be putting up the REAL mock offseason soon. HINT: 2018 NO Saints 1st rd pick Dallas Goedert aka lil GRONK(best TE in the draft hands down)

Not hating on your pick or anything.......but one concern I have with signing a free agent TE or drafting one with the expectation to come in and contribute immediately is that it seems to take TEs at least a year to get fully comfortable in our system.


Graham basically redshirted 2010 before becoming the monster many said he'd be in 2011. Before him, Shockey was pretty ho-hum during his first season with us in 2008. And Coby Fleener in 2016 seemed to take a while to grasp things.


Maybe with the emphasis on the ground game, that can change, going forward. But it's one of the reasons I've been hoping they bring Graham back instead of signing someone completely unfamiliar.
