Early Saints 2025 4-Rd Mock Draft: Georgia DE Mykel Williams at no.10 (3 Viewers)

[Infoman]

Tet will be a top 5 pick.

Jeanty is a RB which is the only position group as far as offensive playmakers we do not need.

Top 10 pick spent on Warren would be bad team building.

So you think Warren is worth a top 10 pick?

You think we NEED help at RB compared to other positions?

That's absolutely interesting please explain

I have posted many times in other threads on this...

There will be QBs, DL, and OL going fast and often in the top 5 - 10... T-Mac can easily slip down into the 8-16 range.

We need playmakers at every position - RB is not the exception - AK will be 30, Taysom will be 35, and Miller hasn't been available for most of the 2 seasons he's been here.

Warren can go anywhere from 8 on down - a premium TE is becoming every bit as valuable in the NFL due to how many teams are playing 2 high all day long - Nearly Every real contender of a team has one. You can absolutely build a very good offense around one. I think he not only has that potential... I think his versatility and athletic ability makes him even more valuable than a traditional TE prospect.

We do this every year - and every year our offense doesn't get better - and every year I say how players like Bowers and Gibbs are worth spending high picks on and everyone acts like I am "interesting"... until they are all forced to agree.

That’s my main concern with this mock draft. I would rather wait a year to get Carr’s contract off the books and to get a better idea of Rattler’s progress. In 2026, look for a QB.

I think you have to keep taking lottery ticket picks on mid-round QBs (or higher) until you find a franchise guy or you have to target a guy that you think will be a franchise guy and go up and get him. I'm not sure Gabriel is the guy, but it's worth it to take a shot on someone you think has potential.

If you aren't drafting one high, you have to take the shot and you never know when you are going to hit. It's incredibly hard to find one in free agency where the best you are likely to get is a mid-tier guy and nobody trades guys they think could be franchise QBs. The one exception I guess is Goff, but he's not elite and the Lions traded a very good QB in Stafford to get him.

Interesting.

Interesting.

I know right... LOL

Thanks for taking the time, BUT Bobby could pronounce all of their names, even after hoisting a few.
So I'll have to keep researching for MY mock draft!

To be fair, we drafted a WR at #11 and a LT at #19 3 years ago and took a LT at #14 last year. That's 3 first round picks on the offense in 3 years. We all want more playmakers, but it's not like they haven't spent first round draft capital on the offense and Bowers was taken before we picked last year.

And after seeing our OL with Fuaga and Penning this year, I can't imagine how bad it would have been without them.

Anway, I thought you were a BPA guy? Are you now a BPA at an offensive skill position guy?

No shot the top WR in the class is available anywhere near pick 16.

We need playmakers at every position - RB is not the exception - AK will be 30, Taysom will be 35, and Miller hasn't been available for most of the 2 seasons he's been here.

RB is the exception. AK while 30 can still and should still carry the load. He's one of the top paid RBs in the entire league. We also just spend a premium pick on Miller and you want to spend the best draft pick we have had in the last decade on another RB??

Warren is not going to be a top 10 pick lmao. He's a fine TE but far from a generational one like Bowers who himself didn't go top 10.

I don't disagree an elite TE can be incredible weapon, I just disagree how highly you hav Warren rated.

We do this every year - and every year our offense doesn't get better - and every year I say how players like Bowers and Gibbs are worth spending high picks on and everyone acts like I am "interesting"... until they are all forced to agree.

As great as Bowers has been he hasn't translated to wins. The Raiders are one of the worst teams in the entire NFL. This is what you're missing about selecting a TE early. It's not that an elite one can be critical to an offense it's just they don't translate to winning unless you're already stacked at other positions which we are not.

Besides Fuaga has been an incredible rookie LT for us so and far more important than Bowers ever would have been. I have no clue why you're taking a victory lap with that take.

We drafted a slight of body finesse #2 WR and 2 fat boys... I ain't talking about offensive players... I am talking about physical playmakers without injury history / durability concerns - that can not only come in and provide points right away... But can also develop into core of young offensive focal points.

I am a BPA guy given the situation... after the 2017 draft up to the point when Drew and Sean left... I was a BPA guy... We are way past that... I am now a "we must build an offense that can score points to be competitive or I may need a new liver guy"....

2020 I was all about Jefferson, Ayiuk or Love - We missed on JJ - But passed on Love and Ayuik and took Ruiz - FML
2021 I was all about Bateman or Etienne - We passed on both and took Turner - FML
2022 I was all about Wilson, Olave, and Pickett - We missed on Wilson and took Olave then passed on Pickett (Whew!) and took Penning - 6 one way / Half dozen the other - FML still
2023 I was all about Gibbs, Kincaid, and LaPorta - We missed on Gibbs and Kincaid, then passed on LaPorta and took Bresee - Not horrible - but still FML
2024 I was all about Bowers and no one else with a consolation prize of BTJ on a trade down - We missed by one pick on Bowers - Passed on BTJ and took Fuaga - Good player but no points scored by Fuaga - Once more... FML

We are picking before 16 sir... This is a Wendy's. You are still thinking we can win and compete next year, and I am thinking about building a young offensive core for our next QB and coach so we can be fun to watch and competitive while we lose until we get both...

Warren is a better prospect than Kincaid and LaPorta - Go watch the vids.... From a high level he's one of the best offensive weapons in this draft not named T-Mac or Jeanty.

Bowers was the best TE in the NFL this year on the worst team with the worst QB room - He's a building block for a bad team - We need guys like that, because we are not far behind... Fuaga is great - He doesn't score points....

You know what changes if we replace Fuaga this year with a 4th round pick OT this during our 7 game losing streak that essentially ended our season? Nothing...

False. I do not think we can compete next year at all.

I disagree here as well. Both of us were high on LaPorta if I remember correctly. I don't have Warren in the same tier as either, definitely not a tier above. Warren is also a 5th year senior. There's plenty of data that shows 5th year breakout seniors are red flags.

I'll watch more of his tape but from what i've seen I have him as an early 2nd grade. Far from a top 10 pick. Im also not even convinced he's above Loveland for TE1.

Bowers was the best TE in the NFL this year on the worst team with the worst QB room - He's a building block for a bad team - We need guys like that, because we are not far behind... Fuaga is great - He doesn't score points....

Bowers was the best TE in the NFL this year and he's STILL not more important than Fuaga has been. Which goes back to my point TEs do not contribute to winning as much as other positions. You've said we are building for the future... there is no better building block than a young dominant LT.

Fuaga as a true rookie LT shutdown the two most dominant edge rushers in the league. He is more valuable than any TE in the NFL.
