WR Tet McMillan as the Saints pick at #9? (52 Viewers)

I'll say this...

When Mickey was asked if he was confident in Carr he said something to the degree of "yes i feel good about Derek. I'm not sure if he qualified but he would have been top 10 in QB rating, top 10 in INT ratio, top 10 in completion percentage. he had some circumstances that affected his play. Middle of the oline gets lost, and you're down your top 2 WR's."

There was a bit more, but that last part about WR combined w/ their attempt to sign Kupp suggest that they want to upgrade the position. I still think there's potential for them to move up and try to get Ward (who I think can perform well without a #1) but if they don't and they have to move forward w/ Carr and Rattler they'd be wise to get a big bodied pass catcher

Ward without a number one? All QBs like him need a WR1. If you don't have a number one WR you better have athleticism or a strong mental game. JD doesn't win 12 games without Terry. Even Stroud needs a WR1.

Luckily they do let you draft players after you pick a QB and they will even let you draft WRs later in this draft and in upcoming drafts.

I kid, but if you think you see a franchise QB, you draft him whenever you can because you don't know when you will get another shot. You can worry about surrounding them with the players you need once you draft them.

The Saints haven't drafted a QB in the first round since they took Dave Wilson in the supplemental draft in 1981. And, as far as I can tell, they have never taken one in the 2nd round. That's far too long to go without taking a shot at a franchise QB. I don't think Ward is worth what it would take to go up and get him, but we need to draft a QB in the first or second round really soon.
 
Something I was picking up on while seeing some videos comments.

Titans and Giants should clearly be getting QB. Browns or Raiders are possible. I don't think the Browns are looking for offense outside QB.

But then there's Patriots who are likely getting Henry.

Jaguars need help on defense, but they're the first threat to get Jeanty or Warren. They have Bigsby, but cut Engram. Do they still have Etienne?

Raiders could go after McMillan if they don't go QB. They don't have a legit RB though. But TB is not going to play around here.

Jets could go after Warren, but they need other help.

Panthers fans think their defense will improve with draft picks outside the first round. They're fawning over McMillan.

There is the possibility that if the Jaguars get Jeanty, the Jets get Warren, and the Raiders or Panthers get McMillan, then we won't have a chance to draft either of them.

Now if Giants get Dart and Titans get Ward. Then it comes down to if the Browns want Sanders. Does Brady want him? If the Raiders get him, then we have to worry about whether or not the Panthers FO is going to still be stupid and waste it on a offensive player(I don't think Young is good he played a cream puff schedule down the stretch). We have to worry about if the Jets want to upgrade at TE and Jaguars at RB.

I think Jeanty or Warren are more likely to reach us. Chances are Jags and Jets are not both thinking offense. Jets don't need RB help. If Jags pass on Jeanty he falls to us I believe. If Panthers are thinking offense, then they could get Warren as a weapon if Raiders get McMillan. If Raiders land Sanders though and Panthers don't go offense then we may have a shot at McMillan and Warren.

Definitely going top 10, likely before we pick

Really didn't change anything for me. Could see on film he was plenty fast. Being a Pro Day time it may be slightly inflated. Always assumed he was a high 4.4/low 4.5 guy. Would be happy if Tetairoa, Jeanty, or Warren is the pick at #9 for us.

Happy to see him run a 4.48...while mad at the same time, because we'd have to trade up to get him.

As much as I hate trading up, he's such a perfect fit for what this team needs and such a great player, it might be worth moving up a few spots if he's there.
 
Btw, NFLDraftBuzz had him at a 4.50 flat and has only been off by a few hundredths on most 40 times this go-round. Their calculations are getting better.

Arizona should be part of the Big 12 Pro Day starting tomorrow the 18th through the 20th. Was this a private workout or something? Or could this be one of those parody accounts maybe?

Not to mention it was reported that he wouldn't be participating in his pro day.
 
I would be happy to see them trade up for this guy ward or jeanty
Atleast give us something to look forward to
