NFL Draft TE Tyler Warren as Saints 1st pick? (2 Viewers)

Yes. Abdul Carter. Projected top 7 or 8 pick. I hope a couple teams can’t help themselves and they grab a QB or 2 and he falls to us.

That would be great. Does he project as a LB or edge in the pros?

Drafting a WR1 feels like a wasted pick to me. I'd rather go with a giant TE. Time and again we've seen giant TE's serve as the top passing option. TE's creating linebacker mismatches also forces a safety down which benefits your burners like Shaheed and MVS

We have an interior Oline problem, a QB consistency problem, and although most don't want to admit it, Kamara going into age 30 with how much he gets beat up and no RB's behind him, gives us a RB problem.

All of those problems means you won't get the use out of a WR1 that you pay for. Oline, Front 7 on defense, TE and a RB should likely be our targets. If theres a franchise QB here, you include him in the mix.

S is also a big need. Honey Badger has gotten slow and is not a good tackler. I would hope that he retires and doesn’t stay 1 year too long.

He was on the edge most of what I saw last night. I watched a highlight film where he played MLB quite a bit but I think at this point he is primarily an end like a Micah Parsons.

He did remind me of Micah Parsons. I thought he might be a good replacement for DD at MLB. Either way, LB and Edge are huge needs. Hope he is there when we pick.

He has great instincts and good speed. Neither can be taught and he definitely looks like a day one starter.

That’s what stands out to me. He is a freak athlete but he reads what the offense is trying to do unbelievably well.
