Draft Strategy...

[Rainman66]

I think every franchise has to make a determination where they are and then make a decision. I don't mind drafting for need, but hate reaching for that need. So, if you want to draft a need, but best player at that position isn't close to your draft spot, then trade down.

If you are true to your board, then you go with the best available athlete. 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.

I would not touch a QB in this draft especially not Tua there will be a decent FA QB next year

Murray or Ruggs/ Judy if available would be my top 2

There are a ton of mock drafts out there, but there are two positions and four players that seem to be tied to the Saints at 24:

WR, either Jalen Reagor - TCU or Brandon Aiyuk - Arizona St.
LB, either Patrick Queen - LSU or Kenneth Murray - Oklahoma

I favor either Aiyuk or Murray.

Tua is good but I don't see him being a top 15 pick after his injury. Injuries like his just taint people's opinion whether it's right or wrong.

You take him because QB's like him don't come along every draft. It's managed risk if you have a veteran to sit behind one year to get his body stronger and learn the pro game. His ceiling is higher than Borrow because he is younger. Had he not been injured, he would be the #1 pick.

Actually I think Burrow is better than Tua after his performance last year.

Some Gm's are worried it was just a flash in the pan and will return back to 2018 form

Borrow is the most ready College QB to play his rookie season. He has all the intangibles except the strong arm. But he is 23 years old, will be 24 during the season. His ceiling is lower than Tau long term in my opinion.

If Qb need wasnt such a big deal, Chase Young would be #1 overall. He will wreck QBs for years to come. YOung is the best player in the draft bar none.

I mostly agree. I woukd take a flyer on Jalen Hurts or Jake Fromm after the 3rd round.
