Who are your favorite day 3 prospects? (1 Viewer)

[BelowZero]

No to Milton. Am a huge Tennessee fan and watch every game....he has a rocket arm but that's it.

That's exactly why you take him, imo. Especially if it's day 3.

You can teach mechanics, understanding of the game, and to some extent, processing speed of the game. What you can't teach, like speed, is arm strength. All it takes is the right coach to turn a QB into a gem (e.g. Purdy). Maybe Kubiak is that guy, maybe not. But I don't think he's not worth a shot.

Monroe Young WR Cal, he would be a big day 3 pickup. Only problem Saints didnt go to his proday, one of 3 teams.

Brock Bowers could easily be the best player in the draft. If we pass on him reach on the 3-4 best OT I have an aneurysm. Passing on better talent to fill a need, only because of your prior failures is how bad franchises stay bad.

Fuaga, Olu or Latham could easily be the best player in the draft. That's what makes blue chip prospects blue chip.

We'll trade 3 of those picks, so narrow down your choices.

If we even come away with 7 total picks and a few of the guys on my list are taken I’m very happy. I’m expecting they trade a couple to get near the top 100.

A lot of interesting Edge guys that should go around the 5th round. It will be interesting to see if the Saints decide to draft one even if he doesn't fit their prototypes. Mohamed Kamara for example. He doesn't have size or length but he can flat out rush the passer.

And it will be interesting to see how they approach the Nickel position. A lot of quality prospects in this area. One guy I've been looking at is Jarrian Jones from Florida State as a versatile Nickel/Safety/Corner type. Like a more athletic PJ Williams. I'd love to see them draft a Nickel and a traditional Safety.

The great thing is that this draft is pretty deep in the areas we need. If the Saints keep those three 5th rounders they'll be looking at some good options.

Yeah supposedly according to beat guys like Nick they like Dallas Turner and had a visit with Chop Robinson. Both of them really aren’t typical saints DEs size wise.

Chau-Smith Wade
Johnny Dixon
Jaylin Simpson
Jarvis Brownlee


Could all be great picks in the 5th round or so. I really like the CB depth this year. One thing the is great at is finding DBs.

I guess it's because the Saints only have two picks in the first two rounds but I find myself more excited about the mid round guys this year. This class isn't sexy but it's thick. I dig it. The Saints would be smart to hold tight, let the draft come to them, and trade back if possible (and if it makes sense). We could come out of this deal with a younger, more athletic depth chart.

I just got done with watching Isaiah Davis highlights, RB from South Dakota State.
He could be a steal in Round 7. Great balance, poise and patience.

100% correct, but this is Wendy's Sir.

They are all guys nobody even knew their names until recently. They weren’t guys who were arguably the player at their position for the past three seasons.

Seen Maason Smith’s name pop up a couple of times. I would love to know what the heck anyone saw in him? Dude did not live up to his hype

Speaking Truth, but watch out some of Homers, that are football experts might call you a clown. The Saints are known to do this, take the next Andrus Peat to possibly pass up the next Travis Kelce because of drafting for need. It’s in their DNA.

Gabriel Murphy, he’s an edge who played at UCLA opposite Laitu Latu. I was thinking he’d go early 3rd day but this guy seems to be moving up some boards.

Some info on him:

After transferring from North Texas, UCLA EDGE Gabriel Murphy saw a lot of success and production. Where does he go in 2024 NFL Draft?

I do. If he falls to the third day, he’s a classic high upside take for little investment. I’m definitely not advocating for him or homering, but if you watch his freshman season tape and remember he was recovering from injury the past two seasons, it’s easy to understand why some teams would take a chance on him at a bargain price. He may end up being a career backup, but he does have the potential to be something much more if he makes it back fully from injury and gains some NFL strength.

Jordan Jefferson showed me more and I would take him over Masson easily
