What is good, Hootad Nation and Hootaf Family ORG. I am your host, Ross Jackson, New Orleans GPE native, your New Orleans Saints expert and credentialed member of the media covering those New Orleans Saints as a senior writer and reporter over at Saints News Network ORG. And on today's episode, we're taking a little bit of a break from the wide zone breakdown because we want to get back to the NFL ORG draft. And I know you want us to be focused on the NFL draft here. So let's take a look at the top three offensive linemen that specifically fit that wide zone scheme,the top three wide receivers that fit the new Saints ORG offense as well. And of course, we're going to lead it all off with my cumulative top three for the New Orleans Saints at pick 14 in the NFL draft. And number one is not an offensive lineman. We got all that and much more coming up for you on today's episode. And we appreciate you very much as always for making us your first listen of the day. And being an every day or here on the Locked On Saints podcast, proud part of Lockedown Podcast Network, your team every day.And today's episode of Locked on Saints is brought to you by Monopoly Go PRODUCT. All right, I will admit it. I do have a competitive side, and it is a big fan of Monopoly Go PRODUCT, the mobile hit twist on the classic Monopoly PRODUCT. So join your friends and download Monopoly Go now on the app store or Google Play ORG. So I wanted to get to back to the NFL ORG draft here. I was doing a lot of wide zone conversation. I will continue thewide zone conversation after the draft. But you know what? The draft is a week away. The wide zone stuff wasn't doing great here on the show for being honest. And so I decided, you know what, let's pivot. Let's get to what the people want, which is, of course, the NFL ORG draft. So I wanted to go over and just kind of reset everything and look at the NFL draft with some fresh eyes here one week before it kicks off. One week before the New Orleans Saints are on the clock at pick 14, at least we think they'll be on the clock at 14. We'll see what happens with my top three selections for the New Orleans Saints at pick 14. So I want to break it alldown. And I want to start off with number one right here, which is not an offensive tackle. Everybody in a mama expects the New Orleans Saints ORG to draft an offensive tackle. I expect to the draft an offensive tackle. My mama expects him to draft an offensive tackle. Shout out to you, mama. But the first thing that I wanted to look at, or the first prospect that I want to look at is actually the guy that I think, if he's on the board at 14, he's the best player in the draft. He's the best player on the board at that time. It's not the best player in the draft.Probably Marvin Harrison, Jr., the wide receiver out of Ohio State ORG, followed probably pretty closely by the other wide receivers before you get to Caleb Williams, but that might be a controversial opinion. So my number one guy in terms of who might realistically be available for the New Orleans Saints at 14 is Alabama defensive end Dallas Turner. Now, some of you hear that name, hear me say that, and you go, oh, yeah, okay, that makes sense because I've kind of talked about it here on the show before. But like I said, I want to look at it all in fresh eyes. For me, if Dallas Turner is onthe board at 14, and in case you missed it, I did a mock draft Monday a couple weeks ago where it wasn't just me doing a mock draft, it wasn't just a computer doing a mock draft, it was a bunch of insiders, writers doing a mock draft. And at 14, I was able to take Dallas Turner. And the reason why I like Dallas Turner is because he's different. He is and would be under most circumstances, the best player available on the boardif he's available at 14 unless there is some inexplicable tumble, right? Inexplicable tumble for one of the wide receivers, somehow one of the quarterbacks, whatever it might be, Joe Alt PERSON, like whatever. For me, Dallas Turner would very likely be the best player on the board if he's on the board when the New Orleans Saints select at pick 14 why um one thing that i look at is the void that he fills i think that the saints NORP learn something with kaden ellis they learn something with zackabond PERSON that it makes a lot of sense to have speed off the edge nowthey brought some of that in with chase PERSON young but is chase young a longer term situation no he's on a one year deal he's effectively on a one-year deal. He's effectively on a game-to-game deal, if you really think about it, right? Because it's almost his entire contract, $8 million of the $13 million on his one-year deal is all based on whether or not he plays throughout the season. And so, or on a per-game basis bonuses, right? And so I don't know that you can look at Chase Young PERSON as a long-term option yet.Now, if he has a great time in New Orleans, it has a great year there and then decides that he wants to stick around here, then sure. But then you have to be ready for the eventual departure of Cam Jordan PERSON. So bring in somebody that brings you something that you don't have. And that's four-four speed on the defensive line. And that's where I think a guy like Dallas Turner, who fits the prototype of Cade Nellis, who fits the prototype of a Zach Bond PERSON type that can come in and just wreck shop for you constantly and help you against those pesky mobile quarterbacks that are alwayscausing your trouble and all those other things. So for me, the number one guy for me that's going to potentially be on the board or that could realistically be on the board for the New Orleans Saints is Dallas Turner. So that's my number one guy, Dallas Turner, the edge rusher out of Alabama. He's numero one. He's number one. He's number one edge rusher in this year's class. So if he's there, it makes perfect sense.Number two for me is, of course, Olu Fashtonu, the offensive tackle out of Penn State ORG. Now, for me, Olu Faschanoo is a guy that creates some intrigue for you if you were to draft him as the New Orleans Saints ORG because he is a pure left tackle. The number two offensive tackle on our good friend, Dane Bruegler PERSON's board. Now, the tricky part with him is that if you're drafting him at left tackle, you know, if you're drafting him, you're effectively playing him at left tackle. Now you can let him play out at right tackle if you want to.You could do that. can let him play out at right tackle if you want to. You could do that. If Trevor PERSON, now, if Trevor Pending shows up and looks really good and you're ready to roll with him and he's ready to roll in the new offensive system that might cater really well towards Trevor Pinning PERSON, but Ryan Ramchick isn't ready to go, then maybe that's where Oly Fashton PERSON who can start. But look, he's played 29 career collegiate games during his time over at Penn State ORG, and all of them were at left tackle.So you're in the same situation with an Olu Fashtonu as you are with a Trevor Penning PERSON, right? He plays left tackle. He set at left tackle. That's probably where you're going to play. Now, if you want to be prepared for Trevor Penning PERSON to be ready to go at left tackle, right? Which is kind of best case scenario for New Orleans GPE, right?It's the first round pick that you invested a couple years ago. Best case scenario is that he works great in this new offense and works out at left tackle. That would bring me to the number three guy on this list, which is Washington GPE offensive lineman Troy Falano PERSON. Now, Falano is my good friend Kyle Craves, number two corner on his board. He's a huge fan of Troy Falano. Now, Falano is my good friend Kyle Craves number two corner on his board. He's a huge fan of Troy Falano. Now he comes in at sub six four, which might make you think he can'tplay left tackle, but he can. 34 and a half, 34 and a quarter inch arms. He's got the length to be able to do it. He's got everything that he needs to be able to pull that off. And then here's the thing. He's got everything that he needs to be able to pull that off. And then here's the thing. Let's say that he doesn't end up winning that left tackle spot because Trevor Penning PERSON looks really good at left tackle. Well, then Falano PERSON can play at left guard.Voughtano PERSON could potentially play at right tackle if he needed him to, right? As long as you give him the offseason to adjust to that because he has that multi-positional versatility, which allows you to maximize your five best on your offensive line. So if you're able to build an offensive line of a Trevor Penning PERSON that's ready to go, a Troy Falano at left guard, and Eric McCoy at center, a Caesar Rees PERSON at right guard, and then a Ryan Ramchick at the top of the season at right tackle. If he's ready to go,you're in a pretty good spot. You feel pretty good about that. Or you swap Falano and Penning PERSON. If you feel like you can put him in at guard, you move or one of those guys plays at right tackle because Ryan Ramchick PERSON's not ready or you draft another tackle because the draft is more than one round that you can potentially have it right tackle, lots of options for New Orleans GPE. And Falano PERSON would just take those options and multiply them effectively because he wouldgive you somebody that you can move where you need somebody. And he changes the way that you call plays because he's nimble on his feet. He's athletic as all get out. He's got fantastic footwork. He would be a fantastic fit in this new offensive scheme for the New Orleans Saints ORG. I did not have any wide receivers on the list here, but I still want to talk wide receiver because it's their other big need. So let's take a look at the three top wide receivers that fit the mold in terms of what the New Orleans Saints ORG need and want with their new offensive system.We got that coming up for you as we continue on with today's episode of Lockdown Saints ORG, part of Lockdown Podcast Network, your team every day.

Philip has just lost the respect of the Youth League ORG football team he coaches. He was asked what New England should do in the draft, and his answer was objectively terrible. The Athletic just wrote a great article about this, but Philip doesn't have the athletic or the respect of a boisterous group of 11-year-olds who once looked up to him. Learn from Philip's error. Get the athletic and get the info you need to speak draft fluently.

All right, family, along with those offensive linemen at the top of the NFL ORG draft, there are also some big time wide receivers toward the middle of this year's draft that are perfect fits with the New Orleans Saints ORG need want and should do with their offense going into 2024. Let's break down my top three. We appreciate you very much as always for being here and for making Lockdown Saints your first listen of the day every day. Don't forget the Lockdown GPE NFL mock draft is now live.I'm going to do another episode on Friday tomorrow kind of as a continuation of my big success over on the mock draft. I call it success. We'll see what you have to say about it. But make sure you go and check it out. You can find the episode, the first episode wherein I make a selection at Pick 14 here on Locked On Saints Now ORG should be available as you're listening to this. And then you're also able to find the entire special over at Locked in NFL ORG,locked in NFL draft, Locked in NFL scouting, and Peacock and Williams PERSON. And we put it in so many places for you just to make sure that you can find it. So make sure you go and check out the entire six episode special, which I worked really hard on. So I hope everybody enjoys it. Okay. So let's take a look now at the top three wide receivers for the New Orleans Saints ORG.In my opinion. In my opinion. And of course, I want your top threes as well. So please feel free to send. But the top three NFL draft prospect wide receivers in this year's draft that fit with the New Orleans Saints ORG can be doing what to do and should be doing with their new offense.Let's go to number one. You know the name. You love them. Malachi Corley, the wide receiver out of Western Kentucky University. A second or third round guy, if the Saints took him at 45, I'd be very happy with it. If they traded up and took them at, I don't know, 80 something, I'd be very happy with it. It does not matter. Anywhere between 40 to 100, a guy like Malachi Corley deserves to be drafted, 5'10, 207 pounds, 456, 40. So not a blazer in terms of what you're looking at there,but that don't matter none. That's not what this is all about. This is a guy that is just a yards after catch machine. I guess it's the best way that I can think to say it. Look, my friends Marcus Mosher and Kate Majuk over at Lockedong Dynasty ORG football did a whole breakdown of Malachi Corley as like a fantasy football option depending upon where he ends up. And they talk about him as a Debo Samuel PERSON fit. They talk about him as the yak king.He does a lot of good stuff with the ball in his hands. Extremely nuanced with the ball in his hands. Probably has to learn a little bit more of the nuances before with the ball in his hands. Extremely nuanced with the ball in his hands. Probably has to learn a little bit more of the nuances before the ball's in his hands. But hey, when you got a wide receiver coach like Coach Dub PERSON, coach Keith Williams PERSON, you're good with that. You're good with that.And so I really like the idea of what it is that a Malachi quarterly can bring. If nothing else but for the yards after catch stuff. Andrew Jernoco, the New Orleans Saints ORG new quarterback coach, is one of the best coaches in the league at the position when it comes to coaching the quick passing game. Expect the quick passing game and a guy like Malachi Corley who can turn a seven yard slant into a 63 yard touchdown. That's what you want. That's thetype of guy that you want on your offense. That's a type of guy that Malachi Corley is. So he is number one on my list for the best fit wide receivers in this year's class in this New Orleans Saints ORG new scheme. He's also a willing blocker as well, which certainly helps out a ton. Let's get to number two. Another guy that I have been gushing about on this podcast since really before the NFLdraft process even began. It's South Carolina wide receiver Xavier Liget, excuse me, 6'1, 221 pounds. Better right now with the ball in his hands than Dibo Samuel PERSON was with the ball in his hands coming out of South Carolina GPE. You understand what I'm saying? I'm not saying Liget is better than Dibo Samuel PERSON with the ball in his hands now.D'Bel Samuel grew big time in that role. But right now, Xavier Ligette PERSON is better with the ball in his hands at this moment than Dibo Samuel was at this moment years ago when he was drafted, right, in the draft process coming into the NFL ORG. Needs to not have another motorcycle accident. That would be good to see. Glad he's okay. He missed two games a few years ago with that.Kick return has played 53 total games in his career, so durable aside from the motorcycle incident there. Put together a 1,200-plus yard season last year as a receiver with seven receiving touchdowns. Other than that, not a ton of wear and tear on the body. That's good news. That's something that you absolutely love and something that you really, really like. Developing a little bit more as a route runner, it'll get there.But for me, the thing that makes him special is similar to what makes Malachi Corley special, yards after catch, what he can do with the ball in his hands. At 6'1, 227 pounds, Xavier Leggett PERSON is not a finesse guy all the time. He's not somebody that's going to be jukeing your shoes off like a human joystick, like a Dante Hall PERSON or something like that. He's not that kind of guy. He's going to run through you. That's his game. He runs through linebackers.He runs through safeties. He runs through corners to pick up that additional yardage. So while Malachi Corley is a guy that would play almost exclusively, I say almost exclusively because you'd want to be a movement player with him, move him around, play him out of the back field, move him around, do all the interesting stuff with him. Xavier Legates a guy, you can start on the outside that complements a Chrysalavi PERSON, that complements a Rashidjee PERSON, that would bounce in to the slot.Then you would have another big guy on the outside that does like to block, can block is a willing blocker. And then you can get one of those big slot guys into the slot. Chris Olavie PERSON on the outside, all these other, all these other like fun things on the offensive side in terms of scheming up those wide receivers and get the ball into the hands of Xavier Legat PERSON and just let him work.And position wise, he compliments because he can be an ex-receiver at the next level. I very much believe that. I very much believe he can be an ex-receiver at the next level. So he gives you both. He gives you the ex-receiver, what you're still looking for. Could be A.T. Perry PERSON, but you want to bring in more talent, right?You want to be right on more than one guy, not just one. You want to be right on as many guys as possible. And then gives you the yards after catchability as well without having to be in the slot, but you can move them into the slot. But we know how important the blocking is, especially in a wide zone offense. You want to expand that offensive line as far laterally as possible. And of course, you want to also be able to get a guy in that can do, that can block in the, you take out those slot corners that are there specifically to helpyou tackle and all those other things. You can do a whole bunch of different things with him. Okay. Let's go to another guy that I actually real like and that I've never talked about on the show before. Jermaine Burton PERSON.6 foot 196 pounds has taken a ton of snaps on the outside. He's one of the few outside receivers in this year's draft. He's got good vertical leaping ability with a 38.5 inch vertical with an 11 foot one inch broad jump so you know the explosion is there. 445 speed with good size. So let's say it together. Height weight speed, right? Checks all those boxes. And led Alabama last year in receiving yards and receiving touchdowns, only missed one game. Led the team Alabama the year before that in receiving yards as well, has played a totalof 50 games in the league, had 798 receiving yards last year, eight touchdowns, seven touchdowns a year before that. So even though he wasn't a prime option in that Alabama offense, he was still finding the end zone and he was still putting up good averages, 18 yards per catch on his career, but 20 and a half last year per catch in 2023. So why is he a good fit? Well, he's a good fit because he's a type of guy that has the speed where if you get the ball in his hands in the open field, he's going to take it and he's going to go. He can push things vertically. Incredible ball skills with big old hands.Okay? Big old hands. We're talking 10 inch hands. So this guy has a little bit of when a cower when I say this, but man, he's got some of that Michael Thomas PERSON in him. I don't mean to say it like, I don't mean to say it to put like the biggest expectations on him in the world or anything like that. Like I'm being very, being very liberal with that phrase, right? But you get what I'm saying. Like he's got the big hands. He has the route running ability. He has that contested catchability. He is somebody that will fight for the ball that has the attitude, fearless and all that as well. Loves to work towards thesideline and over the middle. And that's something that the New Orleans needs absolutely need is a greater focus to the middle, tacking the middle of the field in the passing game. So Jermaine Burton PERSON, man, one of these guys that I really, really, really like, because he's got the athleticism, he got the ball skills, all of that stuff. A second, third, third, fourth round kind of guy if you wanted to trade up from fifth. That's what I think. He's one of these going to be better in the league than he wasin college type of players, Jermaine Burton. So that gives you Malachi, Corley, Xavier Liget PERSON, Jermain Burton. Those are my top three wide receivers to fit for this New Orleans GPE team, just in terms of fit within the system. There are other early wide receivers that obviously,

Speaker 11223.22s - 1235.98s

if the right guy falls, you got to take him, right? Romadunze somehow falls, Romadunzee PERSON, excuse me, falls where you can get in the striking distance. You want to do it. Obviously he's a fit, right? But we're just talking about some of those other, like lesser discussed guys. All right, coming up next. We're

Speaker 01235.98s - 1915.86s

going to do the same over in the offensive line behind Olu Faschino, behind Troy Fautano PERSON, who were the best offensive line fits later on in the draft and one alternative in the first round. We got that coming up for you as we continue to wrap up today's episode of Lockdown Saints ORG, part of Lockdown Podcast Network, your team every day.

Penn State's ORG Olu fashion who could be the best offensive tackle on the board for the New Orleans Saints at 14. Troy Faltonu out of Washington could be the best fit on the board at 14. But what about the guys after that?I got my next top 3-0 line that you should be taking a look at all throughout the draft. So we're going to actually hit beyond the first round here, but we are going to get a first round alternative behind Falunu and Fashtonu as well here in just a sec. So I appreciate you very much. As always, for being here. Don't forget we are your team every day.Coming up tomorrow, the Locked NFL mock draft will have already been released for a full over 24 hours. So I'm going to continue that mock draft to wrap up the week here on our Friday episode of Lockedon Saints ORG. We've already got one selection out publicly right now. That is Troy Fautano, the offensive lineman out of Washington GPE. Fashion new was goneat pick 10. So what do I do next? Well, let's wait and see if I'm done cooking for this evening. And then we'll get into what I'm going to do. So I'm going to wait until Friday and then we're going to continue and wrap up that seven round mock draft to bring you the rest of it. Okay. So we know that Olu Fashton PERSON is going to be kind of the best possible player on the board at 14 for the New Orleans Saints ORG when it comes to offensive linemen. In the event that he's gone, in the event that Troy Fautano is also gone, who would be the best fit scheme-wise for the New Orleans Saints ORG and versatility wise, right?Five, effectively five position versatility on that guy. I want to look at another potential first round selection. And it's the rule of Fs. We've talked about it once before here on the show, and it's the rule of Fs. We've talked about it once before here on the show, but there is a rule of FES for me when it comes to the first round of this year's NFL ORG draft. I call it the Fuffed up rule. Whichever one of them is up, that's who you take.And I'm talking about the Fs as in the last stage. Fashnu, Bautanu, and Talese Fouaga out of Oregon State. He's my next best fit for the New Orleans Saints at the last stage. Fashtonu, Bautanu, and Talise Fouaga PERSON, out of Oregon State ORG. He's my next best fit for the New Orleans Saints at the offensive line.Why? He's got left tackle, right tackle, versatility. He has experience playing in an offenseat the New Orleans Saints and in a program with the program at Oregon State that the New Orleans Saints have drafted fromquite a bit. Most recently, of course, Brandon Cooks PERSON. He's just one of these dudes that just has all of it and has the temperament that you just love to see on the field.He is an absolute road grader, an absolute mauler. And the fact that he can play at left tackle and right tackle gives the same type of flexibility to the New Orleans Saints to pick out their best five offensive linemen that Falano PERSON does without the interior offensive line versatility, although you could potentially ask him to play there. So there are ways for the New Orleans Saints ORG to go in that case. For me, when it comes to Fuaga, who is Dane Bruegler's number four tackle,6'5, 324 pounds, comes in with good athleticism, comes in with great size, comes in with really, really stout experience as well, 39 games worth of experience over there with Oregon State, including a red shirt season that he had where he only played four games his freshman year um he is he is one of those players that's imperfect but he is so perfectly imperfect that you can deal with it like his the things that he has to get better at are so minor they're so smallthere are these little tiny things and some of it comes down to arm length, 33 and one eighth inch arms maybe is why I don't put him above Falano PERSON because he doesn't have the arm length to play tackle quote unquote by the NFL ORG. But look, we've seen guys like Taylor Decker be able to pull it off before in, you know, with just fine in terms of arm length and all that. So I don't want to overdo that, but it is something that makes me put Fautano up over Fugga PERSON, which is why I came down tohim. He gets upright a little bit too much and that gives up leverage. You want to stay low and all those other things. But really like outside of that, like this guy's really, really good. And at 6'5, 324, he can move. He would fit in the system, all those other things, especially playing in the pack 12. And he's a team captain, which we know the New Orleans Saints ORG have shown that they really like here recently, his guys that kind of hold that patch. And so he's a leader.He's a very good offensive lineman, just as good in the run game as he is in the passing game, just as good in scheme versus scheme, where you're talking Manor Zone and all those other things. I dig it. I dig it. So I'm all about Felice Fagga PERSON as a guy that could be the selection for the New Orleans Saints at 14. Let's go deeper in the draft. We'll go into day two, potentially early day three. It's like about Hunter Norzad PERSON, the offensive linemen,interior offensive linemen out of Penn State ORG. Now you're going to notice that there's a lot of these Penn State guys that I really like. Well, there's a reason for that. It's because they coach them well. Like, right? I mean, if you're going to be a team that produces good offensive linemen, you might as well be a team in the Big Ten that loves to run the football and needs those really good offensive linemen, right? So it makes perfect sense. Six foot three, 317 pounds does not, it has the same arm length as Tiles Fulaga, 33 and one eighth inches, but he's still a guy that I would put on the interior. I kind of feel that about Fulaga PERSON, too,if I'm being honest. The only thing with Norsad ORG is the health, the medicals, things like that, but it's aided. I mean, he played nine games last year, played 13 games the year before that. And it was multiple injuries last year, which I think is a scary part. So the, the, um, the medicals part of it is something you have to make sure that you're comfortable with. But I think this is a guy that's going to be a starter for a long time on the interior. And remember, the saints still have to answer that question. Who is their starting left guard? And if they don't go Fautano PERSON early, but then they go Fulagaearly or Fashnu early, then a guy like Norset PERSON could potentially make sense to help plug in to the interior to help you out there. So I'm all about it. And the other thing that I just love about him is that he is ridiculously athletic, ridiculously athletic, plays through players and all that, like throws them out of the club, like becomes very, very, like, once he gets his hands on a defender, he's not letting go until you're either in the dirt or you're out of the play. And I love that attitude. I love that attitude a lot without drawing penalties and things like that, of course. He does a verygood job of that. Lastly, day three, round five, round six kind of guy. Let's talk to Javon Foster PERSON out of Missouri. Javon Foster is a scheme fit. Why? Because he literally runs the same scheme or ran the same scheme that the New Orleans Saints ORG are trying to deploy in New Orleans. That's what he helped to run over in Missouri blocking for a 1,600-yard season by Cody Schrader PERSON. Also has left tackle, right-tackle versatility. So let's say that the New Orleans Saints decide, okay, we're going to go Olu Fashionoo PERSON because he's available earlyor Tlis Fulaga PERSON because he's available early. But then they want to get somebody else that can come in and compete on either side of the offensive line that those guys aren't. Here's Javon Foster PERSON. Yeah, he's going to be a fourth, fifth, sixth round selection, but that doesn't mean that he can't win a starting role, especially with all of the experience that he has at the position.And with 34 and 5 eighths inch arms, he has the length. At 6 foot 5, 311 pounds, he has the size. He's got it all. And with his, let me see, I don't think he ran a 40, but he did run a short shuttle of sub four, sub five seconds, which is really good. So I love the athleticism.I love all that. I think the biggest thing for him is going to be technique. But if you get him in with John Benton PERSON, who is a veteran coaching these offensive linemen, then I think that there's a real, real potential there because, boy, size, strength, the ability to be able to move the athleticism that he has he has all of it he's going to be a little bit developmental but that's okay when you're a fifth round guy it's different when you're a first round guy so if you get one of those guys that fits at just one place in the first round or just two places in the first round and you wantto make sure you get another option that could potentially compete over on either side of the tackle spots. Javon Foster out of Missouri is a fantastic fit for the New Orleans Saints ORG scheme-wise, athletics-wise, all of it. You want a good offensive line, draft athletes. Javon Foster PERSON is a freaking athlete. And he adds our rule of Fs as well. So we can call it Fashnu, Fatanu, Fuaga, and Foster PERSON. And I'm all about it. And Hunter for Zad PERSON.I wish that was his name. It's Norzad PERSON, but it would be cool if it all fit under the F motif there. All right, y'all. There you go. Top three at round one, or at pick 14. Top three wideouts in terms of fit.Top three O line in terms of fit behind the big guys. There you go. We're ready for an NFL ORG draft, aren't we?
