Chido gets hate....it’s gonna change this year. He’s gonna finally get his respect.LOL Chido is trash, what are they smoking? Lewis is our best CB.
Yeah that was. A great draft for them. Drafts like that can really help your team contend for years.4 of the top 13 are Saints
7. Marcus Williams
quote:
Original pick: Mike Williams, WR.
Marcus Williams was actually drafted: by the Saints in Round 2 (No. 42).
Marcus Williams has been one of the more productive players in the league, even though he will be remembered for his role in allowing the Saints to end up on the wrong end of the Minnesota Miracle in the 2017 playoffs. I know the Chargers had other needs that were eventually filled via later drafts, but this was Gus Bradley's first season as the team's defensive coordinator, and his single-high safety scheme needed a playmaker. Williams would have been the perfect fit to play that center-field position.
8. Alvin Kamara
quote:
Original pick: Christian McCaffrey, RB.
Kamara was actually drafted: by the Saints in Round 3 (No. 67).
The Panthers could have looked to defense at this spot, but it seemed certain that then-GM Dave Gettleman wanted to make the on-brand decision to line up a replacement for aging running back Jonathan Stewart. Kamara can do a lot of the things that has made Christian McCaffrey a success in this league, and pairing Kamara with Cam Newton at this point in Newton's career would have been fun.
11. Marshon Lattimore

Original pick: Marshon Lattimore, CB.
The Saints also did pretty well with this pick in the original draft, and New Orleans is exactly where the 2017 Defensive Rookie of the Year will land once again. Lattimore was amazing during his rookie season, and you could have made the case to pick him ahead of White based on that first year. Though Lattimore sort of flattened out over the past two years, he's still one of the top picks in this draft.
13. Ryan Ramczyk

Original pick: Haason Reddick, LB.
Ramczyk was actually drafted: by the Saints in Round 1 (No. 32).
This was such a weird pick to make, because the Cardinals were in the mix for a quarterback. But with Mahomes and Watson gone, there was no way they were going to use such a high selection on the next best QB, Nathan Peterman. Instead, Arizona addressed a seemingly endless need by snagging the best lineman in the draft, a bookend tackle who will be dominant at his position for years and honestly would have had a good case to be the No. 3 overall pick. In this exercise, the Cardinals have landed quite a steal.

Well that’s why I have faith in him. Blind faith but faith lol. When I watch him play he’s not getting burnt for the most part. It’s weird he’s there to make a play but just can’t. I think with the years of experience he’s gained I think he knows what he has to do this season. I just want to know what type of scheme are they gonna run and how far off will the corners be off receivers. You can not create turnovers in a bend but don’t break defense no matter what Maranelli thought.I hope you're right but I'll believe it when I see it.
Chido tries hard (most of the time), but he's always a day late and a dollar short. In the picture, but just missing out on making the play.

Byron Jones did just reset the market for NFL CB'sByron Jones and Chido Awuzie, poster boys for proof it takes more than being fast on the track to be a good CB.
Most players drafted are out of the league within 3 years.
But they are good CB's lol.Byron Jones and Chido Awuzie, poster boys for proof it takes more than being fast on the track to be a good CB.
Agreed. He always seems 'right there' but can close the deal sometimes.I hope you're right but I'll believe it when I see it.

This comment is the poster boy for how a lot of fans have absolutely 0 understanding of what good cornerback play is.Byron Jones and Chido Awuzie, poster boys for proof it takes more than being fast on the track to be a good CB.
