Nick Underhill: Players organizing a Players-Only Meeting
Another slight, smallish WR? Pass. Give me the Mike Evans clone in Tetairoa McMillan.
McMillan over Hunter all week and twice on Sunday. He’s 10 times the receiver Hunter is.
On top of that Hunter will end up a corner in the NFL as he should.
1. He's the best player in the draft, and I don't think it's close.
2. You aren't drafting him to play WR, you are drafting him to play corner. The fact that people are evaluating him as a WR speaks to how talented he is. He's not the best WR in the draft but, again, we are talking about a guy who will play DB in the league. But, he is drawing comps to Garret Wilson at wide out. And Surtain at CB. Yeah, I'm drafting that guy if I get the chance.
3. The Saints corner depth is misleading. Lattimore is great, but is injured often and carries a large cap #. Adebo is feast/famine and will now be coming off a major injury and due for a raise. Poor man's Diggs; not someone you want to overpay. Taylor has flourished at nickel, he needs to stay there. I'm high on Kool-Aid but point is, an A level talent like Hunter at corner means you don't have to overpay Abedo and you can reliably move on from Lattimore.
4. Redundancy at WR, with this roster, isn't a bad thing. Some Olave and Shaheed insurance, from your corner, piques my interest. I wouldn't sell the farm to get him, but if I'm top five in picks, that's who I'm targeting at present.
