Saints trade Adam Trautman to Broncos for #195th pick (WR A.T. Perry, Wake Forest) (1 Viewer)

Dropman is finally gone! Alleluia

You say that but he was a excellent run blocker hopefully parry is at least decent

 

[Fiyo]

I think we sign Foster Moreau or another veteran after this

I think Moreau is in our future if he can get healthy. But we might need a one-year vet (bring back Dan Arnold for the heck of it ) to allow Taysom to still take a few snaps per game

Trading our starting TE for a project WR that may make the practice squad doesn’t seem particularly bright.

This is an example how meaningless "starter" means in the NFL. Just doesn't hold much weight. Bad player gets to start. Dalton was a starter too.

Trautman was an effective and balanced starting TE that was coming into his own as a TE. To compound matters, the position was already a spot of need anyway, trading it away for a gamble hardly seems prudent.

Can’t guard Perry

Perry isn't as much of a gamble as a lot of the smurfs taken before him. He's even flexible enough to play in the slot.

Right!

Here is spotracs list of available unrestricted free agent TE's





If signed, I don't think that we see Foster Moreau this coming season, however there are some servicable TE's available otherwise.

Dan Arnold, please !!!! (JK)

I think he’s great value for where he was picked, to be sure. It just seems like a stretch to trade away a starter at a position of need for it is all.

HFY.

If you think he’s a project you’re sadly mistaken.. dude has hands and speed

He wasn't good or coming his own. His production drop and his snap count reduced from 58% to 49%.

It's why Johnson jumped from 20% to 60% from 2021 to 2022. Had a mini break out year for himself.

It's probably why they brought in FA TE to replace him.

After watching the video interview on this kid, I am amazed he lasted until the 6th round - that was one insightful video! He's going to be a great one. Thanks for posting the video Jesse Custer. If you have any doubts on this pick, that'll solve it.
