Means some good ones will be UDFAs

I hope this is the case and it may be true. This is a very deep pool. Hopefully some guys don’t get drafted.

6’5 255 lbs TE that was a QB.
6’2 220 lbs TE that is/was a QB.
Saints draft a second starting center.

The lack of top end speed worries me a little bit, but his agility and burst is off the charts for a guy his size. And he seems to have great hands. He’ll be fun to watch in the red zone.

Coach had to trade all of the remaining picks and not be on camera tomorrow, he got caught with TWO Coke products on camera yesterday and today, if he had done it again tomorrow he would have been facing a lifetime ban from the NFL!

The picks we traded away likely wouldn't have made our roster. This is a win

40 yard dash means nothing now in todays game obviously you haven't watched his tape the man plays faster

He looks slow, even at Dayton against third tier players. I’m hoping he turns out. It’s admirable that Payton falls in love with a player and is willing to go get him. It’s what’s made us successful all these years. So I’m chilling out and learning about the player.

Like the player but not sure he was worth the rest of our day 3 picks since this years draft is so deep.

I like it. Receiver addressed in FA. Brees on his butt in playoff game addressed with Cesar. LB need is filled. TE was listed as a need coming in to the offseason. We lost very little from last years team that won 13 games.

 

[rlemieux]

Very top heavy draft.

No offseason program makes it very hard for late round rookies to come in and make an impact.

You got a starting interior O-linemen, at the least a 4th LB that will see a lot of snaps and a 2/3 TE that might develop into a starter. Not bad if you ask me.

 

[los226]

He’s got big potential! I don’t mind that they traded the rest of their picks. There’s only so many new faces that will make the roster and we can still find an undrafted FA gem.

 

[saintfan1972]

I bet Trautman is faster than most of us who says hes slow.

Normally, I hate trading many picks, but tonight, I love the trade for Trautman.

Since we didn't have a second round pick, we were not able to go for a receiver.

We needed someone to catch passes, and forever I have read, we got great value.

We don't have many holes on our roster, so going with quality over quality is perfect considering the maturity of our team. Next year the situation will be different.

There is also something to think about. Many receivers have been taken between yesterday and tonight. That will make some players to be released. It will also lower the price for receivers looking for maybe a one year tryouts. And let's be honest, if you are receiver and are forced to sign a one year deal, there is no better place than New Orleans.

Exactly! The value was just there with tight end. I hinted at the need to take a TE. Trautman is an excellent pick and I think he will contribute this season.

 

[tpayne12no]

The value of all 4 of our late round picks total was less than the value of the 3rd round pick. Not even accounting for the player we chose. A dynamic TE has been key for us since Sean got here. I think it's been a home run draft.

Also, it won't take much to get back into the fourth round if there's a player that we're looking at.

For a 6’5 255lb guy, he is buttery smooth. Not a lot of wasted movements
