2022 NFL Draft

[RaginDave]

Mike Detilller said yesterday in a interview that he heres the Saints will sign one more big free agent. He did not identify the player, but my guess is it's either Sonny Michel RB, or Jarvis Landry WR. Sonny Michel would make more sense at this point.

Both/Either makes sense, but after drafting Olave in the first round and with the hope that MT comes back fully healthy and one of the best possession receivers in the league and the continued improvement of Marquez Calloway and servicable Trequan Smith and Deonte Harris on the roster, that is not a position of need. RB improvement would be and Sony Michel has been very good for a long time in this league. Michel rushed for almost 900 yards last year in 3 of his 4 years in the league he has rushed for over 800 yards, the only year he didn't was in 2020 when he was injured for 7 games and still rushed for over 400 yards. Michel would be an interesting addition to this team and a much better option than drafting a RB. The only issue is when you get Kamara back you could be looking at figuring out a rotation and who you would release to make room for him. I would assume that based on preseason and practices you probably would not carry Kamara, Michel and Ingram on this team.

would also like to see the saints grab a veteran TE like Eric Ebron

They still have the cap space to carry all three, but it's not a decision that would have to make until the final roster cut in September. Also Kamara is facing suspension, likely 6 games based upon precedent. The problem takes care of itself until he returns.

That is why I said when Kamara comes back a decision would need to be made, I doubt you carry all three veteran RB's.

Right? He was the 3rd ranked free agent safety, behind Williams who we let go and Bates from Cincinnati, May was ranked 4th...I think we made our pretty good there.

Different skills sets.

[Esqueleto]

It should be NIL or scholarship, not both.

Not sure what you are referring to but he is 29 years old and was the 3rd best available safety...technically 2nd ranked if you remove Williams...he isn’t washed up. He was first team all
Pro 2 of the last 3 years.
