2022 NFL Draft

[ManAboutTown]

I bet neither ATL or Seattle do not draft QB in 1st round.

I do own a vehicle

lol

Maybe big splash wasn’t the right phrasing. My point was they haven’t done anything in free agency to make the team better. They also could’ve waited a few more days to sign Dalton and kept the 3rd round compensatory pick. It’s not like Dalton is some sort of hot commodity

I agree with you on the waiting as good policy, but how bad would the fans have been after the whole Watson smoke screen to be threatening to skin Loomis right now without it? They made that signing to send a message to their all too nervous fans that they're committed to Jameis as the QB & Taysom as a play maker. And once again I will restate that just getting Taysom in a set position & letting him play Special Teams will instantly make the same roster better.

Compensatory picks are awarded next year after the season. Unless Dalton becomes a full time starter, there is no way it will cost them a 3rd pick. In fact, Armstrong and Williams will both be starters and the best the Saint's will receive is a 3rd Round pick for either.

Correct. I’m talking about the pick we would’ve received for Siemian next year if we had waited a few more days to sign Dalton. We would not have traded for Dalton with a 3rd round pick straight up, yet that’s essentially what we did

Deebo Samuel has requested a trade from the 49ers. Do we think he would be a good fit for the Saints?

If any of you are going to Las Vegas to see the draft, I hope you enjoy the Weezer concert. LOL!

Sorry to use this thread so much, but I totally forgot to ask this: does anyone know where to watch the Draft online?? I don't have A tv provider anymore so I have no way of watching it. Will it be on sportsurge, streameast, the NFL website?? Please keep me posted if you find a place to watch. Thanks!

While, once again, I see your point in waiting as well as the point in not waiting. But I think T is correct on his assessment. Neither Simien, nor Dalton will rate a pick if they do what their perspective teams hope they do, which is clipboard holder.

Samuel would be a good fit for any team if it was free to get him. The amount of draft capital combined with the salary he is going to command doesn't fit the Saints though. They will be able to get a very capable wide out in this draft & maybe get him in the 2nd round. The Saints need to keep every pick, or possibly even trade down with their 2nd 1st round pick should one of these QBs slide down the board enough to get a trade with a QB needy team.

I assume you're talking about Olave? I think Olave will be an easy get for the Saints and I think he fits the team well. I don't think we need to trade down for a QB (we already have Winston and Dalton), but if we try to, I don't think we should expect to get Pickett or Willis unless we trade down before the Panthers pick. That would mean we would have a pick in the Top 5, and those teams in the Top 5 are the most desperate to get good players, so I highly doubt they are willing to get rid of a pick. JMO

I wasn't saying we would trade up to get a QB, but rather trade down with a Detroit, or Seattle if they are too obstinate to pick a QB with their first pick. Any team who needs a QB & won't go after what's there in the top of round one won't have a top four QB come their second pick. So they will have to trade up to assure themselves of a QB.
