I know one thing - I would have never been able to pass on Timmy with the Ravens second pick.

Im happy with Humphrey so far alrhough I probably would have picked someone else, I would have skipped Wormley too but I guess the scouts like his potential.
I probably would have moved back for an unsexy pick like Forrest Lamp and another lineman.

I agree. Had a feeling they wanted Hassan Reddick in round one, but once he was taken, Bowser was a terrific consolation prize. Getting him and Humphrey is awesome in rounds 1 and 2. Looking forward to using TWill more.

I'm not going revisionist here, (May do that subsequently). These are the guys I routinely trumpeted for months leading to the draft and who I believe I would have picked, for better or worse.
1) O.J HOWARD
2) PAT ELFLEIN
3) TIM WILLIAMS... no way I saw him being available here.
3) KAREEM HUNT
4) HOWARD WILSON
5) ISAAC ASIATA
6) JOE MATHIS....ahhh well

Yeah me too, he was physically gifted in term of coverage. But not sure about the fit here.
I loved his mirroring ability and really long arms - I would have loved him in the 3rd if we hadn’t already picked up marlon
I wasn’t that high on Cunningham but I had lawson as a first round grade and obviously he dropped because of injury concerns but I would have loved a 3rd round double whammy of Timmy Williams and Carl Lawson
That's exactly what I did in my redraft lol
I do kinda wish in hindsight (obviously hindsight is 20/20) but that we got Williams and Lawson and then either juju or Alvin kamara in the 2nd or something like that
Not that I’m hating on tyus (or even wormley given that I think he’s played ok when he’s been on the field)
I've never mentionned it yet, but Kamara is probably the guy I really hate that we didn't get the most. I had a first round grade on him and actually ranked him ahead of McCaffrey. How great it would be to have his skillset in our offense.
I don't think IQ will ever be a problem for him given his position. Basically the hardest thing to learn (coverage) he already knows. What he has to learn is pass rushing and run defense. It will come with more experience and although I don't think he'll be able to add strength (which would be ideal) I think he can still be a dynamic player with better understanding of his strengthes and weaknesses.
Especially given how important he’s already become to the saints and the way their team has evolved because of it - they are now a ball control offence at their basic level and he’s killing it - like you said he’s doing for the saints what the panthers hoped mccaffrey would do for them
I won't blast you for that but I'm not sure he's viewed as a long term answer. Not saying he won't be, I just don't know. We'll see come season's end.

We should keep bringing in RBs who were dropped by Seahawks at some stage of their career. Forsett did well, should have brought him earlier.
Collins needs opportunities and confidence building - let him make mistakes and learn from them, don't sit him every time he doesn't make 5 yards on a carry. I also want to see him on a short yardage goal line plays. I don't know if he is the most explosive back in the league right now but he makes stuff happen. Exciting to watch, for sure.
