Warren is bigger, taller,

He is bigger and taller.

and a better athlete.

He’s not as good of an athlete as Bowers. While at Georgia, Bowers was hitting insane metrics for a TE with how fast he was consistently clocked while outrunning SEC secondary’s.

And I was huge on drafting Bowers at all costs last year. Bowers was the best TE in football out of the box last year…. As I said… Different but same type of impact. I think Warren can have a higher ceiling because he can run the ball, and develop as a better blocker, and has also thrown passes. He was also a great basketball athlete in HS.

I was also a huge advocate on drafting Bowers last year. He was my top target in the draft for us. Bowers can also run the ball. I doubt Warren will make much of an impact throwing the ball other than maybe a few times in his entire NFL career. Not enough to really even factor it.

I’ve done my homework on the guy. He can be as special as Bowers…. Just in different ways.

I’ve also done my homework on both players. Warren isn’t as talented as Bowers. Not a slight on Warren it’s just the reality of it.

The only comparison I have for them is they play the same position and I wanted them both to be Saints. They are not at all the same player. Kelce and Kittle are not the same type of player…. Both are equally talented and insanely good players.

Bowers has the potential to shatter TE receiving records. Warren does not.

After 2 years, you should stop with "if Miller can stay healthy". You better be planning on him NOT being healthy. And I don't think you can rely on 30 year old Kamara to be healthy all year, either. Then who are you left relying on? Mimms? That's a loss waiting to happen.

Miller can't even line up right when he's healthy. Pass protection lacking, drops passes, doesn't get the playbook, and always injured. It actually makes sense why he was in Allen's doghouse.

I mean cornerback is cool and all but if you have no pass rush i dont care if you have Surtain and Sauce back there, it wont matter. We need a DE and another DT.

We do.
Sadly we need almost every position. Just the truth.

I am a huge fan of Warren, having said that he’s not in the same stratosphere as Bowers.
Brock is generational and will have a HOF career given health.

Warren will be a very good TE in the league and I’d love to have him on the team.

So, the Saints won't upgrade the OL.....ever?

The Saints have had a lot of success with RBs drafted in the 1st round, and not a lot outside of that except for Kamara. If we can get the production, we got out of Deuce or Ingram, run to the dang podium. The Saints could suddenly have a stacked RB room that teams have to gameplan for. Name one other position group that the Saints are even remotely close to being stacked at. It would be nice to be good at "something" instead of a big fat plate of "meh".

Haven’t you heard? This is the last NFL Draft ever; in fact, there won’t be any other rounds to add players nor will there be a free agency period before or after this year’s draft.

Nope, we only have ONE single opportunity to add an offensive lineman, and it must come during THIS off-season, and it must come at pick 9 of this specific draft.
