You got a glimpse at the Saints future core… If you were paying attention (1 Viewer)

[TooDopeGoldRope]

Bresee , Granderson , Taylor and Young are the future of the New Orleans defense. While MVS , Miller , Shaheed , Rattler are the future of the offense in New Orleans. I so badly want to add Olave to that list , only time will tell. Hopefully this is just a rough patch , and not the rest of his career.

But the ingredients are in the pot.

I feel resigning Chase Young is in order.

Spencer should finish as the 1 and battle Carr for 1 next season. He’ll lose because the books say he has to , but that will be valuable time as the heir apparent while we fulfill our obligations to Carr. Carr like the last 2 seasons won’t finish the year healthy , at some point Rattler will takeover and become the guy for us.

Keep Klint because this offense can bite , and I don’t want another philosophy ruining Rattler as he’s starting to get the gist of the game.

I don’t know if Rizzi is the guy to keep at HC. But I do not want another offense coming in starting from scratch. The offense suits AK and Kendre very well.

We draft a stud or two on the Offensive line and our young QB hits a groove , and we are the next Washington Commanders. It’s there.

Lots of needs with eight draft picks is not a bad prospect.

Granderson is a legit starter. Young is a rotational 3rd DE. Bresee is a pass rush 3T who can't stop the run. Taylor is a just nickel but nothing special.
MVS drops catchable balls (2 against Wash). Miller is injury prone. Shaheed is a 3rd WR. Rattler is a #2 QB.

Maybe the young guys get better. Granderson, Young, and MVS are at their ceiling. I would let Young walk unless he takes 3rd DE money. MVS can have Cedric Wilson's contract after we cut him.

Need upgrade at Guard, TE, FB, Punter, Lber, & Safety
On the fence about signing Young to an extention
Got some good players, few Stars. Need to draft better.

MVS is 30. How far into the future do you think he figures?

Drafting better is the key. Someone brought up the fact that the Saints have not drafted all-pros lately, an important observation in my view. Just because a lot of the draft picks are starting or are at least remain with the team doesn’t mean a whole lot considering the Saints’ records for the past several seasons.

Young????

 

[saintfan-n-alexla]

Young on the cheap only , not at a level you feel obligated to play him or can’t cut

MVS will only stay due to a lack of finding another which would be a fail , that’s pretty much the case for all the currently playing WRs

Trade down and acquire more picks!

Young????

Young is the most talented DE and best pass rusher on the team. He consistently produces the most pressures most weeks. He’s T-1st on the team in TFLs. He’s now T-2nd in sacks (5.5) behind Bresee (7.5).
He has 3.5 sacks in the last 5 games. I think Young will finish the season as the Saints’ sack leader.

Consistently productive, talented DEs are very hard to find in the draft or FA. Young is a must re-sign.
Or else, Foskey will be the 2nd DE when Cam Jordan retires.

Imagine if we had a legit 0-tech next to Bresee.

Good DEs won’t be cheap. We can’t sign all good players at vet minimum. Young isn’t Foskey or Turner. Young will definitely get a similar salary AAV as Granderson in the 13M-15M per year range. He signed a 1 year-13M for 2024. He’s unlikely to go cheaper than that # in the next deal. Thats a relatively cheap # for a productive starting DE.

Young is producing the same stats as Granderson while 3 years younger than Granderson. He’s a premier young talent to build around for years to come.

Not for nothing, but even if you weren't paying attention you still got a look at the "future core."

Trade down?


Of course, trading down makes a lot of sense. I think trading down is anathema to the Saints’ front office. They think that a few tweaks will fix everything. I think we’re about 10-15 players away from contention.
