32-Team First-Round Mock Draft: Saints Take Ashton Jeanty at 9, Abdul Carter Goes to Cleveland

The team is so discombobulated. Most of the injuries were on the offense. Yet, when the OL got back together, they were still bad. The defense wasn’t as injured but was poor all season. From that, I conclude that in general, the defense needs more help through the draft. And, I think the defense is older.

Nonetheless, we have to see what happens in free agency. Probably, not much will change because of cap constraints, but the Saints have a history of surprising everyone.

As far as Jeanty is concerned, look at it this way: we have a 30 year old star and a young player who’s almost always injured. And we have a new HC who comes from a team that featured Saquon Barkley. Hmmmmmm..,.

I'm not sure we know what Moore wants to do on offense. He did do power run stuff in Philly, but he really liked to throw the ball in Dallas while also keeping teams honest with the run. I suspect what he really learned in Philly is how important a great OL and a great DL are. He also saw very talented OL and DL in Dallas. So, I'm not sure that Jeanty is such an obvious pick as some think.
