Thoughts?
I'm not high on Jalen at all. I might be alone here, He's not real accurate, and in big games he's not done real well.
Also, I don't like Murray. He's great in run support. He was used as a blitzing LB. I worried he's not any good in coverage.
The issue I have with Hurts is he has a slow trigger speed when he has to sit through reads and make a decision as a passer. He is a guy who likes to "See" receivers come open, instead of anticipating them and hitting them in a spot. I'm speculating Sean would prefer to have a guy who makes quick decisions, and throws with anticipation once Drew is finished playing.
If we have to go QB In Round 3, I'd prefer to grab Anthony Gordon I think he shows more anticipation and accuracy when working within the pocket.
Agree with you on Murray, (I think he's this years version of Stephone Anthony) crazy athletic, straight line Linebacker who will struggle with reading plays between the Tackles and also have issues playing back in coverage at the next level.
I'd prefer Queen in Round 1, but if we wait for Linebacker we can take Malik Harrison as a Sam replacement for Klein.. Logan Wilson as a true Mike for Anzalone insurance, or if we want more athletic Cover backers Will types I'd like Akeem Davis-Gaither from App.State, Willie Gay Jr. from Miss St. or Davion Taylor from Colorado who should be available in Rounds 3-4.
Ive heard a lot of good things about Bowden. Can he do well in the slot? Havent researched him a lot but seems like a great all around athlete, much like Taysom.
Bowden is more of a jack-of-all trades playmaker athlete think lesser version of Laviska Shenault, or even in the mold of Cordarelle Patterson or Antwaan Randle-El back in the day. He played Wildcat QB for Kentucky this season, when he had reps at WR he was more of a down the field deep post type, with a lot of screens around the LOS to just let him catch and run.
I actually think the Saints have great Slot options, with Emmanuel Sanders, and MT also operates a lot from the Slot as well. I think what they need is a true down-field Flanker to take over for Ginn's role.
a Denzil Mims, Brandon Aiyuk, Jalen Raegor, or even Tee Higgins if he starts to fall deep into round 2 could be possible targets to fill that Z receiver- down the field flanker role on the outside.
