You got a glimpse at the Saints future core… If you were paying attention
That’s a pretty talent deprived future. Shows how bad this team is at drafting and developing.
That shows how well the Saints have drafted and scouted in the last 3 drafts and post-drafts, contrary to the bad at drafting narrative. OP isn’t saying they’re All-Pros. But that they’re very productive starters in a short time and have high potential to build around.
Bresee is a 2023 late 1st round DT with 7.5 sacks in 14 games in season 2, 12 sacks in 31 games overall.
Taylor is a 2022 2nd rounder who had an outstanding rookie year as a shutdown boundary and a decent 2nd year as a Slot CB on the fly. He led the team in sacks from the slot to open year 3, as he’s been unconventionally asked to go back and forth between slot and boundary in a shaky year 3. A full offseason committed back to boundary will benefit him.
Olave is a 2022 1st rounder who produced two 1k yard seasons in his 1st two seasons before his 4th concussion cut year 3 short.
Granderson is a UDFA who has earned his way up to the Saints’ DE1 above 4 highly drafted Saints DEs. He’s a complete DE against the run and rushing the passer. He’s consistently graded as one of the best pass rushers in the league week to week.
Shaheed is a UDFA who’s one of the most explosive deep threats in the league and earned his way to WR2. Regardless if he’s not a true WR2, the point is that he stepped up and emerged into a legitimate starting WR on talent and production after the Saints acquired him in undrafted FA.
Miller is a 2023 3rd rounder showing that he’s talented enough to be a featured back if he stays healthy. Everyone wrote him off as a wasted pick. Now the same people are saying the coaches are giving Kamara too many touches that should be going to Miller.
Rattler’s ceiling is still to be determined. But he’s shown he can put points on the board and keep the team in games as a late round rookie QB.
