Fray32 Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 I know Rankins didn't get to play much this year and he was already recovering from a serious Achilles injury. Did anyone pay attention to him? I'm concerned that his ceiling might have shrunk with that injury and he won't make it to a second contract with us. If that's the case then that'll be really disappointing not because of draft position but because he really was showing a breakout in year 3 before his injury. Some of his highlights from that Minnesota game in 2018 were insane. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of his highlights from that Minnesota game in 2018 were insane. This is a great question pertaining to the offseason. Rankins seemed to be headed for great things with the Saints but he just can’t seem to stay healthy and his injuries are major ones. The Saints have some major decisions to make at defensive tackle... they paid top dollar for a NT in Malcolm Brown, Rankins is a former top 15 pick headed to his 5th year option who can’t stay healthy, Onymatta is a solid rotational player who will likely find greener pastures in FA, Shy Tuttle was a great find as a UDFA but he’s more of a fit at the 1 tec. The situation becomes more complicated because this is a great interior defensive line class in the draft and the meat of the position will come off the board towards the middle to back end of round 1 where the Saints are picking.

DoleINGout Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 So New Orleans. One thing. What is it. What do I do there. I dont care how popular or obscure. Free or expensive. Just what is it and why do you recommend it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whodatOL Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Any news about our RFAs and ERFAs? Which tender did we put on Taysom? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raves Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 So Nuke just went for David Johnson and a 2nd... like wtf. I would've given up a 1st as the Saints to get Nuke since he's on a 3/39 deal... that's a steal. Hopefully for Texans fans this is just a leak they sent out to back out of the deal and get a better offer... otherwise... wtf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But still a great deal for them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lame I mean how many of their players have we taken in the past few years? Not too surprised a team with a need at Safety and QB would be interested in those 2.

whodatOL Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Bridgewater seems to be a done deal for 3/60 million. Very happy for him! Do we get a 3rd round compensation pick for him even with his voiding year? If the Bucs bring in Brady, the NFC South looks loaded! Still hope we can bring back Vonn Bell and sign a rotational guy to play the SLB position Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian Saint Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 With Klein leaving, and Anzalone being perpetually injured as he is, I wonder if we're thinking of drafting a LB in round 1. I know WR is a gaping hole after Thomas, but in a deep draft, and WRs dropping (somewhere in the middle), we could get a good one in round 3.
