Hiring Moore = Ashton Jeanty as 1st rd pick?

I'm all for a great running game and there are situations where Jeanty makes sense at #9. But, I'm not sure Rattler is really a guy you want running the Read Option. He's more athletic in the Mahomes mode rather than a guy that can really run like Hurts.

Anyway, if Jeanty is BPA then you take him or trade down, but I don't see why people are so dead set on him as BPA at #9. Lots of testing and evaluations left before boards are stacked. And we don't even know who our HC is or what system will be run on either side of the ball so that can change how the board is stacked for the Saints.

I concur, and he's also got questions about his decision making and running the read option requires that. On the flip side, Mahomes did quite a few things w/ his legs in that championship game on designed runs. 4.5 speed isn't needed to chew up yards when the play design is good.

I also don't agree that Jeanty is a slam dunk in all offenses...my biggest question w/ him is how good would he be in pass protection at his size/stature? I'm more of a Omarion Hampton guy in that regard.
