WR Tet McMillan as the Saints pick at #9?

There are a lot of 5'9 & taller RB that were very successful in the NFL.
There aren't nearly as many 5'8 & shorter RB that were successful NFL.

Jeanty may be a Barry Sanders or not...
We will see...

I can tell you this from being old enough to having watched Barry Sanders play football,
he was exciting & he broke many 20+ yard runs but when the game was on the line & the
Lions needed a yard or two, he struggled against a loaded box...

Yeah it's the same issue people had w/ Bowers last year. There's not a lot of TE's his size that have had success so it was him vs history. He won, but that's not the norm. You can think of a handful of backs Jeanty's size that have had overall success in the last 20 years. Maurice Jones Drew, Mark Ingram, Deangelo Williams and perhaps a handful of others.

Barry Sanders while 5'9 was also around in a league where the players weren't as big, weren't as fast, etc. 5'9 205lbs was actually great size for a RB back then. Those guys are seen as tweeners now. I'd say 5'11 215 is probably the ideal size these days.
