rajncajn Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 I've also seen the Saints linked to Ridder, but most mocks I've seen have him going late in the 1st. I think he'd be a reach at 19 and he won't make it to them in the 2nd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Country Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 I have nothing to add to the specific discussion at hand, but just wanted to say how good it is to see this kind of discourse back on the Huddle forum. It's a shame we no longer have the traffic we once did where we would have a homer or two for each team giving informed local opinions for every team. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More blue collar then what some would.like, he rushed for over 2000 yards, has the 3rd most wins in college football, and blew them away at the combine. I think he may be one of the top qb's out of this draft (over time) solid work ethic and I believe he is married with kids (to his high school sweetheart) .

rajncajn Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 (edited) Reading this article I'm more convinced the Saints plan to use all three of their top picks. Basically, Loomis says he believes they can get 3 of their top 25 players with the picks they currently have. https://saintswire.usatoday.com/2022/04/11/2022-nfl-draft-saints-trade-picks-mickey-loomis-nfl/ Edited April 11, 2022 by rajncajn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they're staying put and will get nice values with those picks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not the first time the Saints have done this and teams moved ahead of them to get a QB so the Saints were able to get a better player at their position then they originally intended.

I've seen a few mocks having him go to the Chargers at 17, so that would add fuel to the idea of them wanting to jump ahead of them, but the question still remains why now? Rajncajn for the win. WR before Penning but....great prognostication! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely not the route I thought, but it works. Can't take credit for the picks though. A lot of mocks had those picks coming to us. It just made the most sense.

Out of all of them I see him working the best with him and don't have to worry about him being out half the season. He wouldn't of been there a 16. Lions and Eagles would of moved ahead of us to get him and Williams. We would of been left with Burk but I rather Olave. Im kind of happy Payton is gone and we dont have to worry about him trying to draft project guys. We will make solid picks instead of potential picks.

Im kind of happy Payton is gone and we dont have to worry about him trying to draft project guys. We will make solid picks instead of potential picks. As I said in the draft thread, I'm happy with the pick and I agree that he's the perfect compliment to MT. However, if MT gets injured again I'm concerned again that we don't have a WR that is capable of being a true #1. Looking at it another way, assume we don't trade and Washington takes a WR there. Do they like Dotson or Jameson Williams better than Olave? Does Detroit still take a WR there depending on who Washington chooses? It's still very possible the Saints still get Olave if the stay at 16. Regardless, the Saints would still be left with their choice of Dotson or Burks and I think either would be a good fit for the Saints as well. Honestly, I REALLY like Burks and would have been almost as happy to have him. I also think he's capable of being that true #1 guy. We may have gotten who I think was the best guy, I just don't know if it was the best move to go get him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They first traded with the Eagles, then traded to move up again. For everything they gave up, he better be a Superstar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is in a high powered offense now that every will be back and healthy. He has a very high ceiling since he one of the best route runners in that class and has the speed to blow up a defense. We will see. I rather have a good route runner then a big body guy that is good at contested catches. If your good at contested catches it tells me you cant get open. CBs will eat you alive in the NFL if you cant make separation. This is a perfect WR for Winston. We need that mid to deep threat with him since Winston got the arm to get it out there. Let Juwann, MT, Callaway, and Hill handle the contested catches in the redzone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
League_Champion Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Jameson Williams was there and they picked Olave, that's insane! Olave wasn't even the best WR on his team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
