Saints draft WR Chris Olave (2 Viewers)

[Kramer]

Mike Detillier is praising the pick. Says at Ohio State every one out of five passes in the end zone was a touchdown.

Not mad @ all. The MT/Olave connection must be pretty strong

1. Olave has 4.3 speed.

2. Many have rated him as the best receiver in beating press coverage.

3. Has outstanding change of direction, and turns many CB's into toast with double moves.

 

[SigFreudianSlip]

That’s a good pick. Moving up for him might have been too much.

Yea I wouldn’t have minded him at 16.

 

[Slidell Mike]

Expensive to get him. Olave better be the best WR in this class for this to be worth it. Again, the Saints are too impatient.

I like Olave…I liked other WRs more but they are all really good. Olave should be a really good fit

 

[Krodwhodat]

Very solid pick. Now we need OL and TE

 

[WallyBB]

Unnecessary. Good chance he would’ve lasted to #16. And if not, there were other great WR options of comparable skill.

with three trades in a row now with at least one behind us taking another WR, I am not so sure. We wanted Olave and we made sure we did it without sacrificing the other first which is far more important than a 3rd and a 4th (and no reason to think we wont trade back up in the third if we want someone there ala the '17 draft)

How do you know it was unnecessary?

 

[Koketsu_Sama]

We moved to the beginning of the receiver run and got who we wanted

Nah he wouldn’t

 

[Centmssaint1]

Great pick. Now go get the left tackle.

 

[Outbackjack]

Saints WORKING the draft and getting who they target.

Williams gone at 13. Olave wasn’t making it to 16. Not saying you have to trade up for him, but if we wanted a top WR, we had to go up.

Sitting back and waiting for a guy you like to fall is not a good decision.
