Easy now. I was one of those idiots but have had a whole Golden Corral buffet of crow. I won’t lie I hated the pick at the time with the fire of a thousand suns. But as a true Saints fan I would much rather be wrong and things go good for the saints than to have my big gotcha moment on a message board.
That’s the same thing that I have said about Jaylin Polk. He was a second round pick 2 years ago and the Pats traded him to us for a bag of balls. So naturally I don’t have high expectations for him. Between the fact that they gave up on him so quickly and he has trouble separating…….it’s not a high likelihood that he’ll be a big difference maker.
But like you, I will be HAPPY to be absolutely dead wrong on it lol.

And you were so much smarter than everyone else? Kyle McCord ahead of Shough? I don't care for Shedeur, but at least he's starting some games.
Quit acting like a bitch, my post wasn’t meant as a dig at you……it was a dig at the “experts”. They don’t really get it right any more than any of us. I like McShay a whole lot more than Kiper though
McCord will probably still end up better than Shedeur :lol:. I didn’t have an issue with Shough before the draft once I started hearing his name. Didn’t have any issue with Shough being drafted here. I wasn’t one of the idiots on here melting over taking a QB at 40.
I liked Dart a lot before (and during) the draft, and I still think he would be good. I think he and Shough could be very good for a long time.
re: Saints has the fewest big plays on offense in the league last year

This is why I keep saying that we need to double up on WR in the draft. This offense is in desperate need of explosive offensive playmakers. Etienne is a nice addition, but it’s effectively a 2 year contract……which is why I wouldn’t necessarily say that Love is completely off the board.
Shough elevated this offense last year, this offense still needs an explosive element to help the run game as well.

Dane Brugler, Daniel Jeremiah, Jordan Reid, and Todd McShay all have Reuben Bain as a top 10 player in this draft, all positions. But you know better. Guess they don't have your common sense. Muh, short arms, der, der.
Didn’t most (if not all) of them say that Shedeur would be a first round pick last year (some even saying top 10)? MANY had the Saints picking that generational talent as well?

That was the most comfortable I have seen Ronald look at a dead run to track a ball down in a while.
That was good to see, hopefully a good sign!

Austin starting to look like himself again (knocking on wood). He will always be a little streaky, it’s just who he is…..but his defense has stayed really good.
Need Ronald to start looking more like himself now…….

Blind optimism based of a quote from his QB is called being a fan, not level headed. You can spin the what ifs to make you feel better but it doesn’t change the facts
Bingo! The QB, as well as the organization, is going to say that he could make a difference….that’s just the game they play with the media

Tyler Shough’s opinion on Polk supersedes the opinion of Maye/Vrabel shipping off a 2nd rd pick, who had league worst metrics? How are you painting yourself as having the level headed take here
He really doesn’t understand how rare it is for a team to ship off a 2nd round pick for a bag of balls that soon :lol:
The Patriots COULDN’T WAIT to get rid of Polk. That’s not to say that he absolutely can’t develop, but the fact that he can’t get separation/get open……….is definitely an indication of WHY they wanted to move on from him so soon.

I like Skyler Bell and Eli Heidenreich as well. There are so many things you can do with Eli in this offense from a receiving and rushing standpoint. And, as you stated, Bell has a well rounded game.

I get that. Tyson certainly has the bigger upside. I just see Tate as much safer. Ohio State product at WR, does not drop the ball, scheme versatile, and good size.
Ohio State players sure get a helluva bump in evaluations :lol:
Some of it is definitely deserved, it’s a well run program……but there are issues in Tate’s game that make him not worth a top 10 pick (talent wise). Struggling with press/man coverage makes it really hard to project him being worth of a WR1 draft selection.
Tyson definitely has the attributes of a WR1, but the medicals are worrisome for us fans (some teams may be fine with it).

I hope they do hit, but I have serious reservations about Polk. Problems separating and the fact that the Pats gave up on him THAT quickly is very concerning
Reading is hard. I said that I hope they both hit to some extent…….but there is a reason that the Patriots (who have been trying to get MORE talent in theur WR room) shipped him off for a bag of balls.
The FO is also doing a lot of work on WRs in this draft class, so maybe they believe it may be an issue as well.
This is a MESSAGE BOARD FOR FANS
This shite below, makes you look like a moron. Shough is going to say that he thinks Polk will make a difference…….that’s what he SHOULD say about his teammates. I hope he does make a difference……..but you can’t COUNT ON THAT.

I'm not saying Polk has a 0% chance of being a bust. But if Shough says he will have an impact this year and an internet fan says "I don't trust the opinion of the guy throwing him the ball" then I'm more inclined to believe the fan doesn't have a clue.

Eli Heidenreich out of Navy would be a fun prospect late in the draft
900 yards receiving and 500 rushing. Swiss army type of player
Yea, I have made comments about him before…..he should be able to had 5th round or later.

Highly support the idea. At the very least WR + TE but two WRs with different skill sets would make us better.
This WR room is even more thin than what the local media is talking about. They keep trying to act like Polk and Palmer (especially Polk) can be counted on :lol:

IMO with the injury concerns with Olave and Vele, we need to inject more talent into that room (and not just 1).

Neither is good right now
Ronald also still doesn’t look quite right on the bases or in the OF
