If Jeanty, T-McMillan and Will Johnson are on the board at #9, who are you taking?

[St. Widge]

As I wrote on previous threads. I want a player we can build around for years to come.

Since Moore wants to build the offence with the focus on the run game, Jeanty will be the option. Omarion Hampton could also be an option since he is a little bigger and more of a compliment to Kamara and Edwards-Hillaire.

Now, I am very curious of what may happen with Olave. I am not sure we will want to give him a mega deal and he may be an interesting chip to trade. If that is the case McMillan will be the answer.

I am still very interested in Tyler Warren, he will help both as a run blocker and as a great option moving the chains in third downs.

Again, what makes you think Moore wants to build an offense focused on the run game? He's only run that kind of offense in Philly. That's not what he did in Dallas or with the Chargers.

Exactly. Considering Carr shouldn't throw more than 20 times a game and Rattler (IMO) shouldn't throw more than 15, how many of those passes will be 5 yards or less?

Tet wouldn't (or shouldn't) get more then 3 or so targets a game. The value just isn't there. If we get him fans will cry "why aren't you throwing to tet more!?" and the reasoning is simple. Our QB's suck and even if they didn't we're still a run first team.

Tet feels like a wasted top 10 pick for someone over near the sidelines blocking more than half the game.

I don't think Rattler sucks....he hasn't had a fair shot with the starters yet, cause everyone was hurt.

We need to see him with starters and then see what we have.

I'm not big on Derek Carr either but he definitely doesn't suck. We just won't win shirt with him.

However, if we can keep them both at 20 passes a game with the 3 headed monster we have Kamara, Jeanty*, Miller, Edward-Helaire....we should be safe with both QBs.

How many touches do you see Jeanty getting over Kamara?
Basically your saying AK days are done in NOLA if we draft Jeanty...

Nope. It would be a Ingram and Kamara duo all over again.

Plus they both could be in the game at the same time.

Well, we gotta see. But he has found success with a power run game/mobile QB.

The other jobs were resume builders.

I went back and forth between Jeanty and Tet, but finally landed on Jeanty as he appears to be a generational talent at a position where we are thin and aging. Unfortunately my selection is aspirational as IMO Jeany will be long gone by the 9th pick!

Well, he certainly doesn't have a mobile QB here so that part is out of the window. Maybe he does want to base the offense on the running game, but that would be a major change in how he has run his offenses in the past and the offense he ran as a QB in college. He ever tried to be a pass first team early in the season in Philly, but realized early on that they were built to be a power running team. And he won the Super Bowl by throwing the ball because KC was dead set on stopping Barkley.

Jeanty. The distance it takes to get him the ball is shortest...he won't be there though. Raiders will snag him.

The point that it has been his most successful season. I understand this is an assumption, as well as it is to think he can build based on the pass game.

Not want to move this thread out of the original promise, but if Jeanty is gone. A good debate would be to take either McMillan or Omarion Hampton, who I think can be the Edgerrin James to Ricky Williams surprise. For what I read (I don't pretend to be a draft expert), Hampton may be closer to Jeanty than we might expect.

Taking any RB other than Jeanty at #9 would be crazy. I like Hampton a lot, but if you want him, you move back into the mid-to-late first to take him. Drafting a RB high in the first isn't a great idea, but if you are going to do it, he better be elite. I don't think Hampton is that.

If the draft were today, I'd pick Tet.

Omarion Hampton is nowhere near Edgerrin or Ricky. He’s not even close to Zach Charbonnet level. And that’s his closest comp.

Sounds like he balanced based battle game plan.

He maybe just build an offense based on what we have and what the other team isn't strong against.

I think this season fans will be surprised at CKM.

I definitely put money for the Saints to win the South

I feel like Hampton is closer to Henderson, Johnson, Skattebo, Judkins than he is to Jeanty. In other words, if we miss out on Jeanty, I think we are better off holding off until later in the draft to grab a RB.
