Hiring Moore = Ashton Jeanty as 1st rd pick? (4 Viewers)

[MisplacedSaint]

Does Kellen Moore like the run first offense of Philadelphia or did he just work with what players he had? Is he a capable enough Offensive coach to change his scheme dependent upon his players? Was He a run heavy play caller in Dallas?

His offense has evolved based on experience and the players available.

A superstar playmaking RB1 is taking the Eagles to the SB. I think Jeanty would be the guy at 1.9 and the offense will feature the best RB to come out since Barkley.

Prior to Philly he had a reputation of being very pass happy and even too pass happy at times. He seems to adjust his offense to the talent he has. Maybe we take Jeanty because he saw what Barkley did (that is if he thinks Jeanty is another Barkley), but it's also possible that he saw that what Philly did was build the OL and DL before going out and getting a RB in free agency on a relatively cheap deal. Or maybe he thinks we need more WR options or a TE to do what he really wants to do.

I do think the Boise St. connection and his sudden revelation as it pertains to Barkley could play a role in his decision.

Jeanty is a team-identity creating type player he may not want to pass on.

Alvin isn’t getting any younger.

In the end though, it’s all going to depend on the draft grades and how we have him stacked on the board.

An elite OL for Barkley to run behind and an Elite DL is taking the Eagles to the SB. Barkley was a very good RB, but he wasn't this elite until he got behind that Philly OL.

Let's say McMillan and Jeanty are both there at 9. McMillan solves a huge need as a contested catch guy, but Jeanty is a more elite prospect but our O-line this year probably won't let him look elite.

Who would you guys and gals take?

I would personally love Jeanty if they want to strap the offense to he and Kamara.

But, I think Moore may see Saquon as 1 of 1 and see the true catalyst behind what has helped him be a better OC in Philly as that OL. If he’s the hire, it wouldn’t surprise me if a somewhat surprising Tyler Booker pick comes in. I think he’s the best IOL prospect since Quentin Nelson.

 

[Boy_of_wonder75]

I wouldn't mind that selection at all.

We could do far worse than Jeanty at 9.

Pick up a guard or RT in FA and lose a bunch of games this season to get Garrett Nussmeier in here next year.

I do not know that Jeanty is a more elite prospect than McMillan. I think McMillan is everything the Falcons want Drake London to be and more.

this and only this
fix the lines and THEN get toys - it won't work the other way

This has been the question I've been asking myself. If we get a locked down starter at LG and health, then getting Jeanty goes a long way.

 

[longtime lurker]

That would be a great way for Moore to start as HC….I don’t think Jeanty makes it to #9. Saquon has brought back the importance of a franchise type RB and I think teams will be moving up to grab him.

It’s a great thought though to imagine Moore starting out with a RB like that.

 

[fishing4food]

Abdul Carter from Penn State or Mykel Williams would be a good fit for the Saints in the first round and Omarion Hampton in the second round. More upside to take a DE in the first round than a RB at the 10 spot. JMO

My thought here has always been that I don’t envision us making sweeping changes to the OL. I feel like we are essentially locked into a core group of four guys, and can likely fill in the G slot in free agency (Mekhi Becton could be someone to keep an eye on).

I don’t see us investing a lot more into the unit at this time. We are basically at the stage where we need to focus on coaching up what we have and getting them to gel, and getting one final piece could be all that’s needed.
