" We've got some work to do , to improve that room " Mickey Loomis on our WRs

For the lack of anything interesting happening this morning and to cure my boredom , I'd like to speculate on what exactly Mickey intends to do here. He acknowledges that TQS is a free agent and that Deontay Harris is a restricted free agent as well. Loomis also commented on how difficult it is to grab a sought after QB being in the back half of the draft , saying it's " very expensive " to move up for a guy they like. For what it's worth he was also grinning ear to ear when talking about Jameis Winston being an "option " which I digested differently watching myself rather than reading the quote in black and white.

SO , here's my take on what was said , and what we've seen from that group last year.

1. TQS is gone

2. We very well may double dip early in the draft for multiple difference makers at WR. It may be Treylon Burks early and stealing a Jameson Williams. There's multiple guys with size speed and explosion this year. What a year to need a WR.

3. If Harris is gone , Olave will be the pick. If Harris stays , we'll gun for a guy like Treylon Burks. Mickey may value having a guy more like Thomas who's sturdy in case Mike isn't himself or can't shake the bug.

Bonus !!!

I'm going to guarantee that we will score more points this season than we did last year, and if we do , we walk over the NFC south rather convincingly as we should.

1. Agreed. TQS has had more than his fair share of opportunities to separate himself. I definitely think the Saints can do a lot better than him as a #4 option.

2. Agreed. I expect to see the Saints take multiple WRs. This draft is rich and deep and grabbing two will secure the WR room for hopefully a decade.

3. Olave won't make it to #18 with the Combine he's had. A guy to keep an eye on is Christian Watson. He has an insane RAS score and solid hands. Ever since Ireland showed up, RAS is a major factor in the Saints draft. There was a poster here, I wish I could remember who, who predicted Turner, Werner, AND Adebo just from RAS scores. The only other WR with a higher RAS than Watson was Megatron. It is obvious the Saints dont mind drafting a player who is rough around the edges if their RAS is ridiculous, and Watson's RAS is every bit as ridiculous as you could dream of. Before the Combine, Watson was originally projected as a late third/early fourth round pick. Now? I absolutely could see the Saints taking him at #18.
