[Merged] Saints Select Clemson DT Bryan Bresee (2 Viewers)

On paper, it's a great pick and he's a dude you want to pull for. Great story. That said, I just have a feeling we got Davenport and Payton Turner again. A dude who's worst ability will be availability.

 

[KYSaintsFan]

Everybody mad at this dude's availability history...but a lot of his missed time is just life happening. He was the #1 player in America coming out of High School. If not for the unfortunate events that caused him to miss time, he would not have been available to us.

This guy has all pro upside at a position of need. What more can you hope for at the tail end of the 1st round?

Life has happened to Marcus Davenport and Payton Turner way too much around this joint for me to be uber excited for a dude that has had way too much life happen to him in college. I like him better than Murphy at least. Murphy is just another athlete who's got all this upside but not the motor to match the potential.

Listening to WWL, Hebert HATES this picK

I spit out my bourbon when he called him Shy Tuttle

 

[KYSaintsFan]

Not really. Had one injury - an acl. Other issues were a kidney infection (an illness) & the 18 month battle with cancer that his younger sister (RIP) went through.

So, he battled a singular injury and how close to 100% he is today.

He said himself he also had a shoulder issue last season as well.

My bad. I see that he didn't miss time because the surgery was in January which might have been the offseason. However, for him to have surgery in January 2022 means he was injured in 2021. I mean people don’t just get surgery for the hell of it

Sure?

Apparently, he had shoulder surgery also. Not singular.

So he's beat up and has health problems. sheet, did we just draft ME!!!! I'M RICH!!!!

 

[HattiesburgWhoDat]

( barring another rash of injuries )

Exactly. So far the results aren't promising. Hopefully he can get past the injuries.

 

[KYSaintsFan]

Who did bubba hee-Bert want?

Michael Mayer, Keion White, or O'Cyrus Torrence. Kinda agreed with him but I also would have liked the Northwestern dude that Bobby would have just called AA

 

[Jesse Custer]

That Franchise Guy (who's probably one of the most unbiased talking heads on youtube) rated the Bresee pick as a Certified Steal.

 

[jboss]

Was looking up earlier mock drafts from last year and a lot of them had Bresee going in the top 10. Pretty glowing reviews of what kind of player he can be barring the obvious. I just hope there weren't any medicals that got overlooked by the team that other teams might have known about.

His physical injuries (knee and shoulder) were both the same year. And the next season was a kidney infection.

That's not really as terrible as you people are making it out to be.

I have no idea who the kid is. I’ve never heard of him before the saints picked him.

Hopefully he turns out great.

Surprised the team continues to ignore injury history however. At this point they don’t deserve the benefit of the doubt considering the injuries this team always has

 

[PuddinheadSr]

I agree... I'm just tired of the "IF" stuff in first round rotational players... He seems like a great dude, with some bad luck, that never really got a chance to live up to his hype.... I was ready for a not so much "IF" player (cleaner).... we passed on a few... again.

Haven't you figured it out yet? They're ALL "IF".

He also injured his shoulder last year against Notre Dame, played through it for the rest of the season. I’m not sure if it was the same shoulder.

 

[SaintswonSBXLIV]

Gayle looked very disinterested.

Probably tired given that we didn't draft until after 10:00 p.m.
