The only way I'm on board with Love is if we go all in. Meaning we sign Linderbaum AND David Edwards + move McCoy to OG. If you get Love then you better maximize the O Line or its a wasted pick.

Sure, no disagreement here. However, you need to remember, our head coach won a super bowl once they got Saquon. If you dont think hes thinking about that piece, I would beg to differ.

if saints draft a WR in first round it needs to be someone that can go up and win the one on ones
not another small undersized receiver

Bruh that's such a bullshite argument. You are acting like they didn't build a complete SB roster before they got Saquon LAST. We have alot of needs to fill before we take a RB as last priority...

The team that barely lost a Superbowl with Nick fricking Foles won 2 years later only because of Saquon? Gtfo

You are proving the exact opposite point. They built up there entire roster, already were a SB contender, and THEN got a RB.

Not sure there’s going to be an option worth taking on trading back. This is a very top heavy first round. If someone is willing to jump up it means one of the top guys fell. Which we would be insane for passing on one of the top edge guys.

I want no part of Tate. He is not special at all. Love? Love the player, hate the position and not taking him at 8. I’m not taking downs at 8 unless guys like Styles and Delane are gone. I’m just not sure trading back is going to be worth the risk of losing those top guys.

Fitting we had the most money invested in our RB but got near league worst production. It’s been a trend the last few seasons. If it’s the easiest to fill we sure haven’t shown that

Oh look another post trying to make RB's seem important when the elephant in the room is the OL.

Can anyone actually make a valid argument why Love would be a good choice at #8 or is it just all bullshite fake arguments?

One dude is falsely claiming a team that just went to a SB with a backup was successful because of a RB they added after the fact and the other dude is talking about an OL problem acting like its about RBs.

Does anyone have a real argument or have y'all realized yet that you don't?

He is the only RB considered elite by almost everyone in the business. Maybe you haven't learned yet but teams try to fill the worst holes on the roster before the draft even begins. Go yell at clouds somewhere else.

Break down in detail how you derived that post made RB seem important

You have four top 50 picks on the OL (had 5) plus healthy extensions and you have the most expensive RB room in the league. You have had near bottom of the league production from your RB room the last few years.

Do you think you can only fix one of these issues and not the other

i'm totally fine with the argument of talking about how bad our OL was in spots. That's true. But Kamara is done and just about the last drop has been squeezed. I'm slightly hopeful for Neal and name 2 other no names for depth but there's still a valid need to bring in upper talent "say love" if the opportunity presents itself and makes sense for the spot for the staff.

The people blindly wanting Love while ignoring other needs and how minimalized his current impact would be are the ones telling at clouds. Sorry for bringing common sense to bullshite arguments?

And we've talked ad nauseam about how that argument holds 0 weight and means nothing. What did Saquon do for NYG? Jacobs on the Raiders? Bijon on the Falcons? Henry for the Titans? All teams that had other needs and took a top RB. Useless.

Again, let me know when there's even a single argument that makes sense or doesn't have years of data telling you that its a bad move.

This is when people tell me to "chill out" or "go yell at clouds" because they don't have any logical answer or response with supporting data. Every bit of history or data would tell you not to do it.

I would really love for someone to give an example or argument that can't be broken down in 2 seconds. I'm serious, please give me a logical reason so that I can actually see wtf is going through some your brains.

Did you support the pick last year at 40?

Yes, I've actually been one of the biggest supporters of that pick.

Well Henry was selected 45th overall

Jacobs was a good selection for the Raiders. ROTY and made a couple top 100 player lists right away, nearly won a playoff game against the AFC Super Bowl rep Bengals in his sophomore campaign.

Saquon, had two excellent first years then a season off due to injury. Lack of winning was more of a problem with the Giants and the QB than anything Saquon did.

The falcons didn’t give Bijan a quarterback

We are in a different position than all those examples. Sign a starting LG and Love will produce here

The question is positional value vs pick. This draft is different because there are no blue chip players except for Love and Downs, which are not traditional positional value in the top 10

Just because we are in a different position doesn't mean its a good move. We aren't in the worst position but in absolutely no way is it the best position.

Love can score a TD every game and we can lose on deep balls because we don't have a #1 or #2 CB next year. There's just no scenario where taking Love is either the smartest or best move. It makes way more sense than taking a WR but still no bueno.

There is a reason a team like KC Chiefs want Love. They've been to several SB's, need a RB, and its a big missing piece. That makes sense just like Philly with Saquon.

We have been one of the worst teams in the league and not coming off Superbowl appearances. We are closer to the Falcons/ Titans/ Giants than the Eagles/ Chiefs. Maybe that changes but it would be in spite of Love.

Everybody on here viewing Love as a ticket to the promised land instead of understanding he's the LAST piece to get there.

Your last piece is either RB or QB and you usually have all other positions set. You do not start with RB and ignore other holes first.

The Giants/ Raiders/ Titans/ should be examples of this and not an excuse to do it. All those RB's went to a contender once those contenders had other pieces.

I think it just depends on who's still on the board. It would be nice to have one of the two blue chip players in the draft when we can get them, but again the positional value isn't great.

Is Riley really going to keep developing and be shutdown? I don't know. It would probably be better to go Downs, Delane, then Love if both of those two are gone (assuming also Bailey is taken earlier).

This should be the general consensus. And you put Delane above Downs if Alontae is for sure gone. KC isn't passing on Love. If he isn't taken before we pick then we are going to trade it to KC.

If Downs is on the board and we can get a pick from KC for Love then it is 100% going to happen. Once that happens, if CIN really likes Downs then the decision will be to take Downs or get another pick and take Delane.

If Alontae walks then CB is on par with OL as our biggest.

frick, if Alontae walks then we may even take Delane at #8 > Downs/ Love and it would make 100% sense.
