When it comes to the NFL Draft, I have always been a proponent of selecting the Best Player Available in the 1st round and drafting to need after that.
Agree?
Also, there's an outside chance Tua drops a long way. This would be my, and Coach Payton's, dream scenario.
For the first time in a long time, I am stoked to watch every second of the Draft. Might even break open a new bottle of Bourbon. .~.
Top 15 maybe but outside of that you go after a needQuote:

still need a LB , QB , Wr and DB so lot of options for the SaintsQuote:

I don't see TUA dropping outside of the Top 10, so the Saints would have to mortgage their future to trade down for him in that position. That wouldn't be too smart with a number of top players like Kamara, Lattimore and Ramczyk due major money next year and few draft picks in the premium rounds in 2021.Quote:
