I’m inclined to think the Saints would ideally like to leave this draft w/ Bowers

I agree 1000% we should have used jimmy more in the Redzone. But I’m still not sure how much he would have helped stretch the middle of the defense elsewhere on the field. It always looked like the defense just crowed everything around the line and over the middle. To me anyways. So I would have liked bowers but I also wanted OLine and think Fuaga is going be really good. So I’m not upset about the pick in the slightest.

Wasn't talking about Jimmy though I admit he was underutilized in the RZ. Talking about Johnson.

Here's a quote from DA that confirms they would have taken Bowers if he was there at 14, but they wreen't necessarily pressed for an olineman like has been insinuated so much over the last 2months. Fuaga married up and like I said, I can't be mad at the pick. Much like Bowers was considered the pick of the litter at his position, I have some information that suggest Fuaga was the better tackle out of Alt and Latham. So they, depending on who you ask, still ended up with the top prospect at a position of need. Unless you're just whining about not getting a guy you wanted, Fuaga was an excellent pick. He's potentially a 10 year starter. Would you have liked it to have been Bowers, absolutely, he would have done big things for us in the quick game, and likely chipped in as a blocker too but it's not like we ended up with trash.

“Did I go into this thinking, ‘Hey there’s a good chance we take a tackle at No. 14 and would feel really good about it?’ Yes. Did I feel like, ‘We had to take a tackle or else?’ No. Because there were some other good players,” Allen said. “Then as you watch the draft happen (with six QBs going in the top 12 picks), you feel a little bit more confident they’re gonna be there.”
