Saints officially announce coaching hires
I want Jeanty or McMillan. If the team were picking between #15 - 20 Warren wouldn’t seem like such a reach. I wanted Bowers last year and was ticked when the bowl cut snagged him ahead of the Saints. Jeanty is a game changer and could be the Saints’ Saquon. McMillan would give the team a true number one WR and allow the team to move Olave to #2 and Shaheed to the slot. Both seem like a better choices than Warren.
Let me start by saying I like ALL those players....Jeanty, McMillan, Warren. I'd be thrilled with ANY of those selections. But with that said, I've got a bias for Warren after watching him play the past 2 seasons at PSU. Dude has really come on, and I don't think he's done developing. Versatile, TEAM player (whatever the team needs him to do, he does it without hesitation), and CLUTCH as can be. I wish he was faster, but his size and strength are compensatory, IMO. "Hulk smash!"
I think Warren provides some of those big-body WR catches we've been looking for, plus can run Wildcat snaps, and throw....and is a good blocking TE. I think he plugs more holes on the Saints roster than any other selection. If you like TH7, then you should love Warren. He's a little slower than TH7, but is definitely bigger, stronger, and more durable. If we end up with Warren, it'll be because Jeanty and McMillan are off the board, but I would be THRILLED with Warren. And if we take Warren, I'd like to Omarion Hampton taken at RB at the next viable slot (I've heard anywhere from 2nd-3rd). Saints need a TANK/BRUISER RB next to AK41 to get that ground game pounding. Omarion is probably my favorite RB in this class. But I'm a dude who thinks Earl Campbell was one of the all-time greats.
I think Warren and Hampton would make our offense potent. Shore up the G spots with mid-late picks and the O should be good, IMO. Gonna need a few picks to re-tool that ageing defense though!
