NFL Draft This is A Great Draft for the Saints - all 7 picks (2 Viewers)

Smart, strong, and great size. A little something I like to call The Drafter's Trifecta

This is a winning pick right here. A man after my own heart.

Top 4 picks Bresee, Foskey, Miller and Saldiveri can all become starters this season and next. Most of the 6 picks were very productive in college. On paper, it can become one of our greatest draft classes after the 2017 class.

Pump the brakes. AK41 will not be surplanted

Well, we still have a 7th round pick coming - maybe they'll draft an idiot. lol.

 

[draftfreak]

Agreed. First two picks looked pretty good everything after that is a huge question mark.

I seriously disagree. A very gifted RB. A future starting O-lineman. A quality back up QB for years. A very good slot CB and safety... These are great picks.

Saldiveri is probably salty that Haener and Howden got "very smart" and he did not.

Better than 2017? This board man I swear

Read it again. I said it'll come after the 2017 class (be rated below). Jeeesh. This board, man, I swear. I fixed your grammar too.

I'd still like to see us add LB depth, feels like we are really thin there

 

[WhoDat?DrewDat]

I disagree. These are great, quality, and dependable picks. All of these plays will make the team and heavily contribute over time. We couldn't ask for much more.

When did I say they aren't great quality picks?

You listed every single positive without any of their negatives.

I gagged a little over thinking anyone not going through brain trauma could possibly compare any draft the Saints have had to 2017. Yikes.

What is making you think this draft is that good?

 

[Ken-Bob]

Very solid draft other than the Haener head-scratcher (which could turn out to be long-term genius, LOL). They didn't reach for underdeveloped athleticism in the early rounds but went instead with players who are likely to help the team sooner rather than later. They took a boom or bust shot with Howden but that's exactly the place they should be taking those.

I'm a little upset about the lack of picks at LB and TE but I have a feeling they know they either already have superior talent than what was left or can get solid players cheap in FA.

Miller is a much better overall back. Achane was a 185 to 190 speedster that would bring limited value other than on 3rd down.

Your opinion is one thing…. And that’s fine. But Achane proved he’s much more than a 3rd down speed back. If you think that, you clearly haven’t watched him much. He ran rough shot over some of the best SEC defenses in the country…. And not just with speed. LSU is still trying to tackle him today. Lol

I’m going to be shocked if Achane is not in the OROY discussion this season.

It'll likely end after 2017 and 1981. It could tie or be better than 2006.

Better than 2017? This board man I swear

Yeah, I’m definitely siding with the guy who’s moniker is draftfreak on this post. Looking at each pick, there’s a clear fit and need, and these guys are graded very highly for what we want them to be.

This draft feels to me like the best we’ve ever had. I’m very pumped how things have worked out.

Eventually he will....

And anybody can be traded.
