[BELOWSEALEVEL]

1. Saints Brass are high on Spencer Rattler.
2. Saints are doing their homework on QBs.
3. Saints want impact players.
4. Saints would be reaching at 9 for a QB
5. Saints defense needs playmakers
6. Bresee needs help on the interior
7. Saints pass rush is not very good
8. Saints o line needs help at the guard position.
9.:Saints down 2 cb's. Latt trade and Adebo gone
10. Saints need to get young at LB position
11. Fanbase unaware of Carr injury til now
12. Saints need TE help
13. Saints need another wr for Olave insurance.
14. Kamara needs help in the backfield

Add more if you can think of any.

Anyways, it's just shows that this team could go in any direction come draft night

The highest impact player I see that could be available at 9 could be CB,TE,or Lb .
With the news on Carr, (which the brass knew about but we didn't) suggests they have 2 plans.
The first is having a QB they really like fall to 9 or close to it. Never doubt Loomis burning draft picks to move up. The 2nd plan is to go with Rattler and grab a 2nd tier prospect on day 2.
Nobody knows what Spencer can do but Moore may have a plan. Maybe we trade back in to round one with the Eagles and get a 5th option 2nd tier QB at pick 32. Again, Loomis loves burning picks.

Impact players are usually players that start day 1.
My impact playes are Jihaad Campbell, Lb Alabama , Tyler Warren TE PSU, and Jahdae Barron, cb texas @9.
I'm not gonna list any others because they should be gone.
Barron could start but Campbell and Warren probably would not. Depth chart suggests CB needs more immediate help.

The whole injury thing with Carr kinda screwed up my thinking. Does the new staff want their own QB in round one? Nobody knows but McShay pointed out that Moore has worked with QBs who can run and throw. Dart and Sanders both can do this but I give Dart the slight edge here because he ran with purpose .
Other prospects are duel threats as well. Milroe, Shough, McCord. Ewers is the wildcard because he's mainly a pure pocket guy.

We have our work cut out for us this draft
I'm trusting the process but I've never
had a harder time finding a player I want in round one. IMO, we need to let the draft come to us this year and take advantage of our picks.
The only trade we should make is for a QB we're in love with.

I’m ready to hear what Moore says tomorrow assuming he will be answering questions. Also want to hear the reports this week especially concerning Rattler. Might start to clear the picture up.

 

[SigFreudianSlip]

Yep. As I’ve said before the team needs help in so many spots they have a good shot at not messing this up. Need help all over lol.

I’m good as long as it isn’t a kicker or a punter at 9.

 

[boutte]

Any LBs worth a 1st rd pick?

What's the best we could do trading back?

Any highly graded guards in the middle rounds? Who?

 

[play action]

Drew still needs a d to get over the midtable 7-9 BLAHS. I'd trade 9 unless a rb or de/lb monster was available.or a shutdown corner.

 

[sportsaint]

I don’t know if it’s been answered, but I wonder when the brass knew this and if Kellen Moore knew of it before taking the job and he was fine with it. Otherwise, he could be thinking what the heck have I gotten myself into with this organization. It bears saying again, since Sean and Drew left, the Saints have been highly dysfunctional.

 

[AARPSaint]

One very likely thing will happen during the draft: there will be a commercial just before the Saints pick.

Otherwise, I have no idea what the Saints will do during this draft. So many possibilities.

It will be coach speak until after the draft, the current roster has yet to be assembled so I do not believe he can or will explain to much about the roster and direction.

 

[BreesHOF2024]

All I know is someone will trade up right in front of us to take the guy we really want

Should I laugh or cry?

 

[SigFreudianSlip]

Should I laugh or cry?

Right?
Laugh until you cry my friend, this is the way.

 

[AARPSaint]

Should I laugh or cry?

In a weird way, they almost CAN’T mess it up—so long as they don’t trade up and do take BPA regardless of position. Every area of the team needs help, so they might as well use the scattershot approach.

 

[SigFreudianSlip]

Just don’t do this….

All 14 points in the OP have equal importance, too. You wouldn't be wrong to make any of those points the #1 point.

Since the first wave of FA came and went without a true starter at guard, I've tempered my ideal list of round 1-2 combos to be CB and TE. Either Johnson or Barron at 9 and then the best available TE at 40. I'd even argue there's better TE's available this year than at the other O-line positions.
