Tyler Warren

If we don't need a QB, we aren't sold on a WR at #8, why not take a play maker at TE? Dude looks like a young Greg Olsen and let's face it, we have been dog poo since we last had a legit TE1 on this team.  Coincidence? Maybe, or maybe a QBs best friend has been missing on this roster for nearly a decade.  All the elite teams have a legit TE1, we had Ian Thomas until now.  While I like Sanders, he's not Kelsey or Kittle.

Time to change our luck:

From a Saints' fan prospective.  If we pass on Warren and he is there at #8 and the Saints draft him, dude will haunt us for YEARS. (First 9-1/2 minutes.)

I just worry about him being able to separate and get space/open. 

I personally do not think he will be able to get targets due to LBs, safety, and DBs being inside his jersey.

That's the thing, he's this good and not even a finished product.  A lot of great TEs don't have elite twitch and suddenness to them.  He's a football player through and through and I feel that once he gets to eat/sleep football 24/7 in the NFL, he's going to hone his route tree while refining his breaks/cuts.

My only knock on him is he's a bit stiff, which is hampers crisp route running.  Warren strikes me as a gym rat football junkie and I can see that cleaned up in short order...in the course of a season or less.  Unless your name is Brock Bowers, TEs usually don't set the League on fire their rookie season.  I could see him contributing heavily in year 1, none-the-less.
