Saints select TE Adam Trautman in the 3rd (3 Viewers)

[Get in the Carr]

I’d argue that 3rd WR is still a need. We could probably get by with what we have but this WR class is nuts. You have to get someone.

It’s a great WR draft which means some good ones will go undrafted. In theory and based on NFL history at least.

 

[Bloop]

We will have about 27 udfas coming in to fill 2 spots...backup boundary corner and #4 wr...and we get a head start


Someone has to stick right?

Remember (was it 2015 or 2016) when our entire draft class made the roster and we thought it must've been a great class?

No. Your whole class (usually) makes the roster when you have no one else who's any good.

 

[SuperDome]

We traded every one of our remaining picks for that

CSP channeled his inner Ditka!

 

[Saint_Ward]

The saints draft with a "cloud" system. This guy was probably the last player in one of our upper clouds.

One day we'll just draft Cloud.

 

[Saintsphere]

We can find a 3rd WR in FA or training camp cuts if Tre'quan looks that bad. A 3rd WR isn't going to get us over the hump to win a Super Bowl.

Getting Sanders should have negated all this WR worry. You don't need top notch WR corps to win Super Bowls. It's great for fantasy and Madden, but the Pats won a SB two years ago with a corps of Edelman, Hogan, and Slater and the Eagles three years ago with Jeffrey, Algholor, and Torrey Smith.

Having multiple game changing WRs is fun, but it's a luxury, not a necessity. As long as we can count on MT and Sanders staying healthy, the 3rd WR is like 7th in line behind MT, AK, Sanders, Cook, Murray, and hell even Taysom.

You’ve got a point. We’re in great shape.

I hate how we always trade away a ton of picks to move up slightly.

really don’t like the move

Do you consider moving up nearly an entire round to be "slightly?" If you go by the value charts, we actually got a slight deal.

 

[DeuceMcAllisterFan]

Because of his ability to split wide or play inline, we’re going to see some 2 TE sets this season especially in the red zone.

 

[BG4L]

Mickey is all over twitter saying he doesn’t feel WR is a need. He’s still high on Trequan smith and Deonte Harris will have a bigger role

I think they like Tre'Quan and they're really high on Deonte, would be nice to see what Deonte can do more plugged into the offense. Plus don't we still have Lil' Humphrey and Emmanuel Butler on PS.

 

[Saint_Ward]

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.

[sammymvpknight]

I think that this pick also suggests that the Saints plan to utilize Taysom Hill more at QB this season.

 

[SweetT]

Anybody know what "step counter" means for Trautman in his draft writeup?

Well, one of my boys actually counts his steps out loud, while running routes. Possibly the definition of a step counter.....it drives me nuts

 

[Tamerlane]

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