  2. See, now its Mel Kiper saying it I am now worried. This man could tell me the sky is blue and I'd need to stick my head out the window to check lol

  4. So Matt what's wrong with the Saints drafting an elite play making running back like Love that could make plays and give Tyler Shough another weapon to use? Kamara ain't getting any younger.

  5. I prefer Lemon as a side kick to Olave. Olave only had one concussion year. But those two guys would give defenders fits. Plus get a tight end in the later rounds, like the guy from Notre Dame. I wouldn’t hate the Love or Tyson picks either. Get the best receiver or running back available

  9. I really have my doubts the saints are picking a receiver at 8. I truly believe they are confident in what they have in the room with Vele ,Olave and Polk. They may draft someone in the later rounds.

  10. This why I stopped watching this channel you feel you have to be negative about every single thing to rage bait your viewers into commenting and engaging who did Olave have as a Qb his whole career lmao if there’s any elite college qb that has had the most inconsistent start to his career it’s Chris when it comes to who his QB was , Andy dalton , Jameis Winston , taysom hill , Derek Carr which couldn’t throw him a ball and got him concussed , Spencer rattler and Shough that literally has him looking great !!!! So let’s be real sometimes I think you not a real fan just a sober

  12. trying to compare jeanty and raiders situation to ours. jeanty played really well giving the fact raiders have the worse oline in the league almost. dont worry we will have estime be our starter next year, you cant just find a starter in later rounds for a running back, you wont always find that guy, acting like a WR we draft cant get injured too

  13. Mel is being lazy AF. Love to the Saints is the pick. Mel wants Love to KC so badly, he just throws the Saints whatever. Why would the Saints, with an injury-prone #1 WR, draft another injury-prone WR in R1? If Tyson stays healthy throughout his NFL career, It'll be pure luck. He's a great talent, like Olave, Davenport, McCoy, and Kendre Miller, when healthy. Why even mess with that? The Saints have too many needs. I'd easily pick Machi Lemon over Tyson. But Love should be the pick. The notion that RB (and OG, BTW), aren't R1 targets is soon to be an outdated notion. Big boy football is coming back. I think KC will get Breece Hall in free agency. BTW, the Saints have had 10 picks in the Top 10 over the last 45 years. Five were either RB or OG.

  18. Chris Olave always get hurt. So you agree to another receiver that always get hurt!!??? This is insanity! #8 Jeremyiah Love ❤❤❤❤ There's no other option if he's still on the board.

  21. Omg we gotta stop the olave hate, he’s your qbs best friend man. Want Tyson too but I’m not gonna act like olave wasn’t a key factor to shoughs development
