NFL Draft With their first pick in the 2021 draft, the Saints select.... (1 Viewer)

If SP could somehow morph into a running game guru then AK & Harris would be a great tandem. But a leopard can't change it's spots.

Lol so basically any 16 out of the possible 22 positions available, got it.

The last 3 drafts everyone (well almost everyone) has been screaming for every WR, RB, or QB, available and what have the Saints done?

Year	Pick	Player name	Position	College
2017	32	Ryan Ramczyk	Offensive tackle	Wisconsin
2018	14	Marcus Davenport	Defensive end	UTSA
2019	—	— No pick	—	—
2020	24	Cesar Ruiz	Center	Michigan

Would be super happy with that pick, love the player.

I’ll say Zaven Collins.

 

[Super]

The need a big player man with the proper head/neck ratio and bottom leg flexibility.

That’s a good point.

 

[Yatman]

... the player to be named later

 

[2cmorgan]

Either ones of these:
Greg Newsome
Carlos Basham
Pat Freiermuth

 

[Joodas Avila]

...Azeez Ojulari, LB, Georgia.

I wouldn’t mind this. You could extend Kamara’s career by lightening up his carries. I’d make AK more of a WR than a 15 carry back. Also, as has been discussed, it will take some pressure off the passing game.

If used correctly Kamara due to his conditioning and diet will have counting this year another 6 very productive seasons. Provided of course that he avoids major injury.

....Najee Harris, running back, Alabama.

Another multi-threat addition to an offense that will need to adjust to a new starter at QB. In addition to commanding the attention of opposing defenses on his own, stopping the Saints’ offense becomes even more problematic when he pairs with Kamara.

The Saints offense will likely favor the run until Jamie’s can prove otherwise. If he (Winston) ends up meeting all our hopes as a passer, having Harris is still a major bonus not just as a receiver, but as another weapon to be accounted for.

And yes, in a pinch he can also play safety.

not going to happen

I'm gonna say Greg Newsome or Zaven Collins. Those are our to top spots on defense we haven't filled yet.

Even if we do fill those spots, they could well be BPA anyway

Hate to say it but you're right.

Ireland hates skill positions early.

You could go a step further and add McCoy as their first pick in 2019 and have 4 straight linemen.

 

[NOFALCONS10]

...Azeez Ojulari, LB, Georgia.

You like him over Tryon and Basham?

Texas A&M Kellen Mond, QB
