NFL Draft Thread

I love how Payton/Loomis and the Saints filled three need positions with guys who had slipped in the draft, and now are basically taking the next two days off.

 

This is basically the exact opposite of the Packers strategy. Ugh

 

there's drafting for need and drafting best available, and GB seems to have a completely different strategy than either of those. not a single wr so far in a draft full of them

Saints took the Miss State QB in the 7th round. Between letting Teddy walk and not drafting a QB until this late, it’s clear that Taysom Hill is their QB in 2021. Payton said that Saints will have three QBs active on game days so that they can use Taysom more in the offense. The State QB plays pretty much the same way

You really can't grade a draft one day after it ends, but every major publication thinks that most every team got an A or B grade. The only bad grades I saw were for the Packers who were given a C by one publication and a D in another. Do publications always give mostly good grades out like this or did teams seemingly draft well this year?

3 more passes than Taysom Hill has completed to Saints in his career.

That's a really weird signing.

He really isn't of the "don't make mistakes and give us a chance to win" mold that Payton usually likes, ala Mark Brunell, Josh McCown, Chase Daniel or Bridgewater, but there really wasn't a lot out there for the Saints to sign. McCown says he's retired, so it was basically a choice between Winston or Matt Moore. Cam Newton was never, ever going to be in a Saints uniform. Keep in mind that Jameis will be the third QB and hopefully never takes a meaningful snap.

I didn’t see much of him at Michigan, but he sorta sucked at Ole Miss.

No kidding, that’s why he transferred. He conveniently used the NCAA crap to get a waiver to play immediately upon transfer. The real reason he transferred is because he was going to lose his starting job to Jordan Ta’amu, who is now Patrick Mahomes’ backup.
