Saints Need an Offensive Weapon
Austin, MVS, Shaheed, Olave, & Moreau are all good #2 options on any given play.
Now the team needs a #1 option. WR or TE, doesn’t really matter, we just have to have a dude on 3rd downs.
I agree. Obviously, we keep Means as well. He's a nice development WR.
I like Austin to develop, dude is a bigger/sturdy WR who seems to do the dirty work as well. That's needed in this offense or any running scheme offense.
MVS is a one trick pony, a Big Z that can sometimes catch.
I see Shaheed as a weapon, but not an every down WR.
Olave, I'm curious how much bigger and stronger he gets. He's such a smooth WR on his route running and although he's fast, the route running is his bread and butter. If it's true that he wants to keep playing, he should put on about >15lbs of muscle across his entire frame. He should get into that 6'1" 210lbs range which would allow him to absorb the hits/impact to the ground better. Strength tf out of his neck to keep his head from whipping around. He'll sacrifice some speed, but his route running would remain and he'd be a more complete WR. If I was in his camp, that's exactly the advice I would give him, advise him to reinvent himself as a WR to allow his playing days to continue.
I see Moreau as a TE2/TE3. He's a complete TE, but he's not dynamic to be a TE1. Honestly, I would draft a playmaking TE for TE1, have Moreau as TE2, Holker as TE3 and draft/sign UDFA one of these big 6'5" -6'7" 270lbs monster blocking TEs like Nick Kallerup or Jake Clemons, both of these dudes have 80 PFF grades a run blocking for the 2024 season.
