Hiring Moore = Ashton Jeanty as 1st rd pick? (56 Viewers)

[St. Widge]

Possibly. It could be nothing but Nick Underhill is spot on. Dart's name just keeps coming up. Unprompted. But it's early so we'll see.

True, though it'll all depend on how Moore feels about Rattler.

If the new HC finds a QB in this draft that they really like or like better than Rattler, whether it's Dart or someone else, I'm fine with them drafting him. Nothing could turn the team around faster than finding the right QB.

And if it's Moore, one of things I really like about him is that he appears to be able to run a great offense, even a passing offense in Dallas, with mid-level talent at QB. That's the kind of thing that Shanahan did with Garoppolo and Purty and McVay did with Cousins, Goff, and Stafford.

I wouldn't dare say that Moore is the next Shanahan or McVay, but I do like that he seems to be able to make offenses work with mid-level QBs like those guys can do.

Picking Jeanty at 1.9 would be equivalent to drafting Rickey Williams in 2025. Same situation, he was brought in to be the savior, only bad thing is that the team sucked everywhere else. He is a luxury pick for a broke team.

As a rookie he won't start over Alvin Kamara, our OL ain't the best right now, with our defense as bad as it is, once we are down in games he will be ineffective. I would love to draft him but we are just to needy elsewhere.

I want a McClaren right now, I can buy it but can't afford it. I have to many needs elsewhere same as the Saints. If we were a player away sure i would this pick but we don't even have a QB right now and we jumping to RB.

Some say it is coming up so much that he may not even be around by the time pick 9 comes up. The hype with him is definitely building.

If that happens it should push another good player to us at #9. Or it could put Cam Ward or Dart in the range for us to trade up for them if the new HC really likes one of them. I don't really see it with Dart, but I do think Ward is an interesting prospect.

If Moore wants to turn the Saints around quickly, he will ask Loomis to trade back somewhere between the 15th & 25th pick & get more picks including another pick in the 2nd round of this year...

We need to draft several players that can contribute significantly in their 1st year.
DT, OG, X-WR, LB, S.

The more Jeanty tape I watch the more I come away saying that he is just a ridiculous talent. Did not know this but he has the most yards after contact of any running back ever recorded by PFF.

Agreed. He's going to be a stud RB1 and a RB that gives a team an identity to build around.

Correct, people saying we need a good oline, I mean this draft is loaded with oline talent that can be had after round 1.

Don’t underestimate the system being a factor as well.

Just look at the improvement we saw from Kamara this year.

Until he got his injured, again. He can't stay healthy and won't as he gets older. We need a new RB1 and let AK be a weapon.
