    I think it all adds up to him getting more targets next year. When he does play receiver is it usually in like the TE role? With that kind of money committed to him i wouldn't be surprised to see if reception total double. 

    I watch a ton of Saints football for fantasy reasons and because I'm a huge Brees fan (Purdue is my college team). I think even without additional targets, he's worth this contract. He opens up plays for first downs and TDs as a decoy when he's not targeted. In the redzone, he has to be specifically schemed for, giving defensive coordinators something else to worry about. You'll also see double coverage roll with him, both intentionally and unintentionally.

     

    So, you force the other team to spend time in the film room and practice to prepare for him, he opens up opportunities for other players, and running/catching/passing he's going to account for about 10 TDs a year (I think he'll get more passing opportunities this upcoming year). I think that's worth the contract he received.

     

    Bonus, if he continues to develop maybe he's the replacement for Brees. Maybe not, but they have 2 more years to figure it out with a guy who's not simply taking up a roster spot on the bench.

    I'm not sure how much stock to put onto the profootballfocus stats and ranking system, but according to them, Our weakest starter is DT Star Lotuleilei (actually CB Josh Norman according to his 2019 stats).  

     

    I think that there's some truth to that.  Hope Norman rebounds, and that we address DT and CB in this draft.

    You can never have too much depth or talent in the secondary. I hope to see a CB or high upside S/CB hybrid type player with the 4th round pick.

     

    I don't love Star but I also believe he mostly does the job he's supposed to and what the coaches expect. An upgrade there would be nice, but I'm not sure we find that difference maker in this draft, at this point. With few holes left on the roster, it's fine to take a shot on a low floor, high ceiling guy.

     

    I'm not really a Norman fan, but I think he'll rebound and play well in our system.

    Signed that combination kicker punter guy that was highly touted coming into the league as a kicker but flamed. He wants to concentrate solely as a punter. It’s good when punter is our weakest position 

    Yeah, I definitely completely missed that. And, I completely agree. It hurts to remember the times it was our strongest position.

    I'd be okay with Blankenship in the 7th, but maybe not the 6th.

     

    I'm not sure he'll be there in the 7th. He could easily go in the 5th. If a team has few holes to fill and it's a choice between a kicker with a really high chance of securing that position (remember how bad kicking has been lately in the NFL) for the next several years or a position player likely not to make it out of camp on the active roster, I'd go kicker.

    Would you trade Trent Murphy for Rashaad Penny?

    What has Rashad Penny done to warrant trading a player who is a valuable rotational defensive end?

    He's been injured often and buried behind other extremely talented backs on that depth chart. Have you seen him when's he been on the field and he touches the ball? The dude is a dynamic playmaker both running and catching the ball.

     

    I'm not saying I want to trade for him, but don't discount the talent that he has. Look at his stats. When he touches the ball, he makes plays.
