Saints draft WR Chris Olave
Who freaking cares what we traded to get Olave and Penning? We needed a speed WR, but not just speed, a WR with skill and speed. We got that. We needed a LT to replace TA. We got a mean/nasty LT who is a large man to protect Winston's blind side. Does he need a little work on technique, yes, but we have Marrone to do just that. The FO said we would get 3 of the top 20-25 players on their board, so far we got 2 and still have pick 49. The FO also said trading next years pick was to get a player of need a year early, we got that. We don't know what the Saints draft board looked like, but for them to move up to 11 and grab Olave over the rest, that's a good indication they had Olave as their top 1 or 2 WRs with maybe Wilson being 1 or not.
I wanted Burks, but one of my concerns about Burks is that Merritt has the same skillset and is on the roster. We didn't have Olave's skillset on the roster.
