I didn't know where to put this so I will put it in here.

Here is a mock draft from a Saints fan that even says we are making a mistake drafting Young.

1 – Panthers (from Chicago) – Bryce Young, QB, Alabama– the panthers make another mistake at QB. Young has an exceptional mind but limited ability. He doesn’t have a strong arm, isn’t big, and isn’t Russell Wilson.

2 – Texans – Will Anderson, OLB/Edge, Alabama – The Texans avoid these QBs and make a very smart pick with the best player in the draft.

3 – Cardinals – Tyree Wilson, DE, Texas Tech – The Cards follow suit by taking the 2nd best player in the draft. He’ll be a mainstay for years.

4 – Colts – C.J. Stroud, QB, Ohio St. – The colts get the best QB in the draft and the only QB really worthy of a 1st round grade.

5 – Seahawks (from Broncos) – Jalen Carter, DT, Georgia – Again, the hawks take the best player available which also fills a huge need.

6 – Lions (from Rams) – Drew Sanders, OLB/Edge, Arkansas – The Lions grab another defensive playmaker. His ability will stand out starting day one.

7 – Raiders – Christian Gonzalez, CB, Oregon – he’s arguably the best CB in the draft and fills a huge need for the Raiders.

8 – Falcons – Myles Murphy, DE, Clemson – The dirty birds get the pass rusher and athlete they need.

9 – Bears (from Panthers) – Peter Skoronski, OT, Northwestern – The Bears must start protecting Justin Fields and Skoronski, a local guy, is the best Tackle in the draft.

10 – Eagles (from Saints) – Devon Witherspoon, CB, Illinois – The Eagles get help in their secondary – especially at slot CB – where he should be a day one starter.

11 – Titans – Darnell Wright, OL, Tennessee – The Titans grab a local kid. He can any of the line spots except Center – day one starter.

12 – Texans (from Browns) – Jalin Hyatt, WR, Tennessee – The Texans are dire need of offensive weapons, so they go and get the best receiver in the draft.

13 – Packers (from Jets) - Jaxon Smith-Njigba, WR, Ohio St. – Jordan Love needs weapons and gets the 2nd best receiver in the draft.

14 – Patriots – Kelee Ringo, CB, Georgia – The Pats need CB and Receiver help, but they can grab a good receiver later. Ringo is raw, but he has all of the tools.

15 – Jets (from Packers) – Paris Johnson jr., OL, Ohio St. – With the addition of Rodgers, the Jets need to build up that O-line to keep their investment upright.

16 – Commanders – Joey Porter, jr., CB, Penn St. – The need for CB is dire here, so they grab the best available.

17 – Steelers – Broderick Jones, OL, Georgia – Jones is one of the best athletes in this group and can play any line spot except Center.

18 – Lions – Emmanuel Forbes, CB, Mississippi St. – The lions love to play man coverage and get the most instinctual press CB in the draft.

19 – Bucs – Jack Campbell, OLB/Edge, Iowa – The Bucs are in need of speed and smarts on their defense – they get both.

20 – Seahawks – Zay Flowers, WR, Boston College – He is a great slot receiver with excellent quickness and hands.

21 – Chargers – Jordan Addison, WR, USC – He will become an instant weapon for Justin Herbert.

22 – Ravens – Bijan Robinson, RB, Texas – The Ravens get the best RB in the draft and pray they can keep Lamar Jackson.

23 – Vikings – Lukas Van Ness, DE, Iowa – This guy is very raw as a player but he has special athletic tools.

24 – Jags – Dawand Jones, OT, Ohio St. – The Jags beef up their O-line more and protect their franchise QB.

25 – Giants – Dalton Kincaid, TE, Utah – The G-men need offensive weapons and get the best TE in the draft to help out in both the running and passing game.

26 – Cowboys – Michael Mayer, TE, Notre Dame – Dak Prescott gets a needed weapon and blocker. Mayer is a no frills guy, but he’ll play and start for 10 plus years.

27 – Bills – Calijah Kancey, DT, Pitt – The Bills desperately need more sack production from their D-line and Kancey is a steal at 27.

28 – Bengals – Anton Harrison, OL, Oklahoma – He is one the best O-line technicians in the draft and can play all 5 O-line spots. He’s likely best suited to LT with his quick feet.

29 – Saints (from Broncos) – Bryan Bresee, DT, Clemson – The Saints need DT depth and help immediately, and Bresee is a perfect fit.

30 – Eagles – Israel Abanikanda, RB, Pitt – He’ll instantly make the offense better – he’s an excellent runner and receiver and will help Jalen Hurts a lot.

31 – Chiefs – Marvin Mims Jr., WR, Oklahoma – He’s one of the fastest and best route runners in the draft – the Chiefs offense gets even better.

This mock draft is laughable. Drew Sanders in the top 10? Jalin Hyatt first WR off the board AND in the top 15? Abanikanda as a 1st rounder AND drafted before Gibbs or Charbonnet? 5 receivers in round one in a confirmed "weak class?" Ringo before Porter or Forbes? Yeah... This guy has no clue and is a terrible reference for players in this draft.

I got a lot of poo from people on the huddle when I said over and over again that the Texans were all about Levis (since November). Now their own beat reporter who is heralded across league circles has stated that Texans are going to draft Levis. Gonna be an interesting night, bc no one knows…. But maaaaaaaan……. The defensive rhetoric we had here was so unnecessary.

He had the injury that spanned across two seasons.  So I’m not sure if “a lot” is the right description. 

I mean...whether it's multiple injuries or just one that he can't seem to heal from, the result is sort of the same.

It was one injury … torn ACL at the end of the 2022 season, so It carried into the 2023 season. He came back late in the 2023 season and then when they were eliminated from playoffs he was sidelined. 
 

it’s not often you see a player of his caliber who had a knee injury not get the 5th year only 3 years into their career.  Especially, a player as great as he was on the field
