Der var stor konsensus om, at Saints går med en offensiv linjemand. Saints var spået
2024 New Orleans Saints draft
1. runde (#14) TALIESE FUAGA, OT, Oregon State Beavers
The Saints fill their tackle need with a feisty and powerful brawler who can make an immediate impact along the offensive line. Fuaga’s presence will help the unit become more physical, which will only benefit quarterback Derek Carr and the run game.

2. Round: (#41) Kool-Aid McKinstry, CB, Alabama
Saints handlede så op i anden runde med Green Bay Packers. Saints sendte deres 45 valg, samt det 168. og 190. valg til Packers. Saints valgte med 41. valg cornerback fra Alabama med det specielle navn Kool-Aid McKinstry. En af draftens bedste cornerbacks.
The secondary figured to be a spot the Saints might attack, and they traded up to land McKinstry. He’s a steady, smart, solid corner with good field awareness and decent but not great ball skills. This selection feels like a solid line drive into the gap for a team that needs more reliable defenders.

5. Round: (#150) Spencer Rattler, QB, South Carolina
Saints ventede og ventede. Men da South Carolina quarterback Spencer Rattler ikke var valgt i femte runde, tog Saints ham. Rattler faldt ifølge flere medier pga. hans medvirken som 17-årig i Netflix QB1 serie. Rattler var projekteret til at gå i helt op til anden runde.
This is lower than I imagined Rattler going, especially after six quarterbacks all went off the board in the first 12 picks. Rattler is an interesting developmental talent who has some skills that might remind Saints fans of a certain age of Aaron Brooks — for both good and bad reasons. Well worth the pick here.

5. Round: (#170) Bub Means, WR, Pittsburgh
Means has the speed to dent the WR depth chart in New Orleans and is a good fit for what the Saints do. He has big, reliable hands and can stress a defense deep but never was a featured target in his three college stops.

5. Round: (#175) Jaylan Ford, LB, Texas
A thickly built thumper with monotone play speed, Ford thrives with instincts and tape study. Does he have enough athleticism to make it as more than a two-down defender? We shall see.

6. Round: (#199) KHRISTIAN BOYD, DT, Northern Iowa
He’s not a great playmaker, but Boyd’s mass and bull-like strength could give him a chance to be an early-down nose tackle. He’s tough and reliable with good stamina.

7. runde: (#239) Josiah Ezirim, OT, Eastern Kentucky
Ezirim is a converted D-lineman with two years of OL play under his belt. His outstanding mass could serve him well if the Saints are patient with Ezirim’s development.

#45 Kool-Aid
Jeg havde nok håbet på noget andet, men atter må vi sige at Saints var på forkant, idet der blev draftet andre CB omkring dem
Når man kigger på de muligheder Saints havde udover Kool-Aid vil jeg nævne – LB Edgerrin Cooper (en mulig back-up og aftager for DeMario), DT Maason Smith fra LSU (havde nok skabt lidt jubel i NOLA) og OT Patrick Paul, som ekstra gardering hvis Trevor Penning ikke får succes som LT
Jeg var nok lidt overrasket over at OG Cooper Beebe faldt ned i 3. runde
Jeg tror Saints har fundet stor værdi i Kool-Aid (det navn er bare fantastisk). Der var flere “eksperter” som havde ham som draftens bedste cornerback. Og jeg tror draften har været atypisk, da der har være så markant større run på offensive spillere i år.
Jeg er spændt på om der kommer nyt omkring Lattimore, nu hvor Kool-Aid er en Saint’ …
Hvorfor faldt Spencer Rattler til #150 ?
NFL insider Ian Rapoport suggests it was potentially due to character issues that date back to when he was in high school and a part of Netflix’s QB1: Beyond The Lights documentary series that some teams may have been scared away.
“It did not make him look great. And it is unbelievable how many different teams mentioned to me the image of him in that show and how they can’t get it out of their heads.”
Hvis de for styr på det problem kan han meget nemt være afløser for Carr i 2025
Jeg har ikke set hele dokumentareren, men kun et klip derfra… Og der virker Rattler ikke sååå sympatisk. Han har forhåbentlig ændret sig noget siden da.
