Feel very good we are going to get some good defensive lineman in the first four rounds

here you go

YES we NEED a true NT. We have been missing that since Star left

We have, on paper, probably the least talented defense in the NFL. Outside of Jaycee and Clowney I'm not sure anyone on our defense starts on 75% of other NFL defenses. Evero isn't perfect but he is not the problem. Personnel is.

TBH a front of Ashawn playing like he did yesterday, Clowney, Brown and Wonnum is not a bad base. Add in a top flight rookie, a later round pick at edge and hopefully a true NT and we may be decent

I don't really see the downside of playing Bryce. (and yes I have heard the draft compensation argument and tbh I don't think he has much trade value anyway) Just play him and see what we've got My theory on why Canales won't announce him at the starter is two fold: a.) he doesn't want Bryce to feel the pressure of having to be the franchise savior b.) he's showing the team no one is above evaluation

The guy from Penn St, James Pierce and this guy would all be good picks IMO. Anyone that can rush the passer is my pick for round 1

after the last few years we desperately need to get rid of the stink of this organization. Winning helps that. Also if there was any draft where it probably doesn't matter having the top overall maybe even top 5 overall pick it's this one. This draft is not great at top end talent. It's a lot of normal first and second round grade guys IMO

It's because we have become so reactionary. Every week a new team is the worst team in the league or someone else is falling apart and next week they are superbowl contenders. They don't wait for rookies to develop because they want the immediate Russel Wilson seahawks success and starting the timeline of a championship team as early as possible due to the value of rookie QB contracts

The internet at large has lost the ability to have any nuance. It's ok to evaluate Bryce and come away with the conclusion that while he looks much better than weeks 1 to 2, he still hasn't proven he's a franchise QB. Both can be true statements. My thing is at this point, just play him, we either find out we have something or we don't. It's not like were missing out on a top flight QB this draft anyway. Now come 2026 it will be decision time on if he's the future or not

You can question a lot of things about Bryce but from literally everything I've ever heard or read the guy works very hard behind the scenes. I mean his preparation for games at Alabama was so impressive that apparently Fitterer and co had to cut him off when he got to like Wednesday or something. He does seem like a genuinely nice person so it's easy to root for him because god can you imagine how reviled he would be if he was Jimmy Clausen

I really like Chuba, this is a fair deal for both sides and I think it's important as an organization to send a message that we retain our home grown talented players who do the right things. FURTHER and what I haven't seen yet is: A few years ago we decided not to trade Burns and instead of signing him RIGHT THEN we waited and ultimately took a big loss on the compensation. We clearly learned from that. If you aren't going to trade someone then re-sign them. That is good business in my mind.

I'm actually excited to see what Dan can do with all our picks in this upcoming draft. Hoping that while the top flight talent doesn't look great it is a deep draft where we can find quality starters and backups

I'm starting to like what I'm seeing from the penn state DE, also speaks to my point of trading down to acquire a future first if someone is dumb enough

agreed defense has to be focus of the upcoming draft

well thank god XL was technically a first round pick!

Who says you can't have a good jump scare after halloween ends? But in all seriousness I can't believe we got a fourth for him

Ickey at LT and Brady as Center / Swing position player is more valuable to our team IMO

That's fair but signing a veteran like Justin Fields to a one year deal and drafting defense with our first is always an option two. I personally don't think these QBs this year are top 10 worthy selections

them not targetting Jaycee once should earn him a 90 lol

Saints subreddit basically views Bryce as a hero lmao

Oh don't get me wrong I don't think Bryce is the longterm answer by any means. But people want us to draft Cam ward 1 overall. I'd much rather build the team up this offseason

well yea if they get something worthwhile for him than yes I'd pull the trigger but I can't see a team offering something high for him right now. Russini said on her pod we'd likely get more for him in the offseason anyway

that would be incredible lol

They will be linked to Shedeur the entire offseason. Pending Tua's health I could see them taking a swing on Dak though...it may not be as crazy as you think
