UDFA RB - Calais

Surprised we didn't draft a RB, do we resign Cory Clement? Our RBs atm are Sanders & Scott, maybe an undrafted FA or vet RB will be added.

I’m not. There’s a ton of free agents out there and we have a semi decent knack in finding decent undrafted free agents. No need to waste a pick.

Bring back Clement and Shady and we're good!

I think those 2 are going to be really good.  We just need a reliable, sturdy insurance policy who can pound it between the tackles to help protect leads.  

I'd allocate our top UDFA cash resources to the RB position.  

Read that Casey Toohill really struggles vs the run and given his size, he seems to be a situational rusher

Out for the rest.  Good luck with the Dumpster if it's open for business.

Ok bring in 2 UDFA RB's, 2 UDFA CB's, 2 UDFA EDGE/DT's, 2 UDFA O line...and we should be good to go for camp.

My feeling after calming down.  The approach of multiple at bats could work. 2 late guys over a guy in the 3rd might be better, it might not.  I get the need for a strong backup but still at 53 they could have helped the team more imo.  Do I trust Howie's player evaluation? Not really.  His number of Pro Bowl hits in 10 years is atrocious.   But at this point we don't know what we don't know and I like some of the guys so we'll see.

Would like a north/south thumper. 

 

Okay so...even with the Hurts pick..I..I think.. I really like our draft.

Obviously we have to develop these guys but I see 2 of these WRs sticking. Reagor and Hightower. Love both their tape and skills. Swing for the fences with Quez. We have a guard (possibly center Solak mentioned) in Driscoll. We have a 2nd round talent OT (if knee checks Out) then a athletic freak LB in taylor, a really solid LB in Bradley and then our "Jenkins role” safety in Wallace, who I love his film. He was completely overshadowed by Simmons. Don’t know much about Toohill but take a swing at a DE sure 

Plus we have a really good backup QB and gimmick player.

Obviously the 2nd was a little rich for my blood on Hurts, but I love the player..but I don’t know..I think I really like this draft

If 2nd had just said Zack Baun instead of Jalen Hurts I'd be good.

Dane Jackson is a perfect fit for Buffalo. 

Who are the best UDFA RBs?

Who is this really good backup QB you're speaking of?  Sudfeld?

Howie:

"We're gonna get our Taysom Hill guy!"

Reality:

"Taysom Hill is the worst part of the Saints offense"

I hate the pick, but this is factually incorrect.

I like it. But swap Hurts for Fulton or Hurts and Reagor for Lamb and I think it’s a home run. Either way, Howie managed to turn it around on day 3. Now just need the prospects to pan out.

Dude out of Cincinnati? Warren?

FWIW, a buddy of mine is friends with Ed Reynolds.
 

He asked him what he thought of Toohill, and he wasn’t too impressed with him. Basically said he can’t win 1v1 in the league and most of his production came on stunts. He does think he will be a very good STer though.

Any time you take throws away from Drew Brees, you're hurting your offense.

Bradley is doing a nice little presser with the Philly media.  Comes across welll

Ok... Saints just drafted Tommy Stevens. Former PSU QB. He is vintage gimmicky QB.

Denzel Mims instead of Hurts and pick a different QB instead of one of HIghtower/Watkins

I think they liken Toohil to the Avery/Ostman role that has yet to be used in our defense.

Could be, but i think you want him rushing the passer. He’s pretty explosive. Let him pin his ears back on 3rd down.

Yup.  But don't ask him to stop the run.

 

 

 

All things considered, and especially considering where I started today... I am very pleased with this haul from the draft.

Green - guys I had as targets for the Eagles.
Blue - guys I wasn't looking at
Orange - Wildcard
