Mel Kiper Jr. liked the Taliese Fuaga and Bub Means picks for New Orleans, as he believed the Saints hit a home run with two of the best NFL prospects. Kiper also praised the Spencer Rattler draft pick & the Saints drafting Khristian Boyd. Trace Girouard reacts to Kiper’s New Orleans Saints draft grades on today’s show.

Mel Kiper On Saints Draft
I wanted to see them come away with a pro-ready lineman who could compete for one of those spots. That's exactly what they got in Taliese Fuaga (14), a nasty blocker in the run game with great feet as a pass-protector. He was my top-ranked tackle on the board when New Orleans got on the clock. Fuaga spent his college career at right tackle, but I wouldn't be shocked if he got a chance on the left side to see if he could make the conversion. The fact is New Orleans got better on Day 1. On Day 2, it traded up a few spots to snag Kool-Aid McKinstry (41), a really talented cornerback who doesn't have elite speed. He's physical in press coverage. He's going to be a good pro. The Saints didn't have third- or fourth-round selections, but their fifth-rounder was one of the most interesting picks on Day 3. There's a scenario in which Spencer Rattler (150) is their starting quarterback in a few years. He has the arm talent and accuracy to develop behind Derek Carr. I listed Bub Means (170) as my favorite wide receiver before the draft; he was a Round 5 steal. I also like defensive tackle Khristian Boyd (199). I gave New Orleans a low grade a year ago, but I don't see much wrong with its haul this time. GM Mickey Loomis did a fine job this weekend.
Why Spencer Rattler can succeed with the Saints:
Incredible arm talent
Pocket awareness & toughness
Great accuracy at all levels
Out of structure play-making
Sit, learn, develop, win

Can Bub Means become the next Michael Thomas? Saints fans have been itching to get the same thing we saw in the Michael Thomas 2019 highlights, after letting Mike walk to NFL Free Agency, Bub means highlights should have the Who Dat Nation excited.

He is consistently a ding dong
Screw Mel Kiper Jr’s grade!
👆
Chris Olave, Rasheed Shaheed, AT Perry and Bub Means sounds pretty fire to me! Would love to see a resurgence of Juwan Johnson as well.
I like Juwan but that undrafted tight end we just signed Dallin Holker from colorado state looks like a different breed! he has a real shot at making the team due to the tight end position not being one of our strongest
@@youngcubb7180 Agreed, I think he'll make the team and contribute. Year before last Juwan had 8 TD catches. If he can get that kind of production again that would be huge.
@@youngcubb7180 still got hill that’s an extra roster spot unless we move monreau I don’t see how we keep him
I didn't at first, but i LOVE our class
It shaped out to be really good
I didn’t either, but they are growing on me. I don’t really think we needed the corner in the second, I wanted another OLine there, but he supposedly is a good player.
Mel Kiper is probably THE original Sports Reality TV Star. Made famous by ESPN. The current game has obviously passed him by, neither he or ESPN or even the NFL have ever gave the Saints the same coverage, or time they do to other teams like the Cowboys or Green Bay or NY Giants etc.....
HEARD OLE' MEL PUT US DOWN I HOPE OLE' MEL WILL REMEMBER A WHO DAT NATION DON'T NEED HIM AROUND ANY HOW!!
😂
New Orleans killed the draft. I say A without the +.⚜️
Our DBs are FIRE.
No lies, I believe top-5
My favorite pick was our OT at 14 and kool-aid
Me too
Saint Secondary is top 10 for sure
I just subscribed draft weekend 🙌🏽
Legend!
We got a hell of a Te udf watch
A+ 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 🖤⚜️ Let's go Saints 🏈⚜️ Who DAT 💥
Favorite pick is Spencer Rattler at #150. Kid has massive potential amd now that he has a crew around him that are above average, we'll see the days of Rattler from Oklahoma when he was mocked to be the #1 pick in 2022
I like the first three picks I know nothing about any of the other players drafted afterwards
A+
"Who the hell is Mel Kiper anyway" 😂😂😂😂
I really like Kyle Sheets as a UDFA as well. Big, athletic redzone target! His film is a great watch
Top 10💯
Fav pick has to be Fuaga. Needed a possible Day-1 starting lineman and we got one.
The sleeper pick is Ford. He did everything well in college, including coverage. Ezrim could be the next Terron Armstread, raw talent from a small school. Plus there might be 2-3 UDFA's make the squad. 13:40 2-3

In the last 10 years, 38 QBs have been drafted in the 5th and 6th rounds and not one has become a starter. On average three QBs are drafted in the 1st.
If it’s a B for brilliant than yea I agree with his grade. Nice comparison between Bub Means and Michael Thomas. I personally love our first round pick, I think he will prove his worthiness for years to come. Let’s just hope we can avoid any freak injuries or accidents. Did it just get dark in here, someone turn on the light Bub and get it to Bub Means!
Top 5
Qb play is on point we will see. If not then maybe bring back Mike T lol
#4 in DB`s
O' We Not Playing Around. Let's Goooo! WhoDat!

Grde A+
Selecting a quality OL in the top rounds is a good strategy play.
I'm gonna rate the DBs as a 5
Bub means going to become a star because of Derek carr. I'm a raiders fan but hunter renfrow and I forgot that guy in 2016 with the dreads. He made them look amazing
Seth Robert's lol
Kool aid is the best player we drafted this year. Fuaga is a need but like I been saying up to this point OL for them to have impact if any they have to be half of fame OL which I’m not saying Fuaga isn’t but you can’t have that expectations especially for any rookie really. That’s just the way it is these days, but on the other side Kool Aid is probably the 2nd or at least 4th important position which is DB, most important thing in the league is to able to have the passing game and the 2nd is to stop the passing game and in order to stop it you either need A a really good DL (which we don’t have, we will see what Chase Young brings) or B have a good back field which I do think we have now adding Kool aid brother is finna be the 5th best DB on our team maybe even 6 if you think Jordan Howden is better which you kind have to say he is since he has played in the NFL and lowkey stole Marcus Maye job which is crazy lol. So now we have ML top 2 DB in the league and not 2, PA, AT two great young corners, TM, JW always got yo back two really good safeties even TM for his age brother is still a really good player and now kool aid man this backfield is about to be scary. And this is a role he is used to bc we know his only knock was that he was on the other side of the best DB in the draft, and now his entering a team were he could potentially be on the other side of the best DB in the league but I don’t think he beats AT and PA but he has been there so that’s gives him even more value and this just a great a pick and landing spot plus DA was a DB coach, really good with developing DB, so there is a lot of + and upsides to this if he fails man that would be very disappointing but I highly doubt it WHO DAT
Dbs I would say 5 or 6
So- YOUR THOUGHTS: Saldiveri steps up and takes the guard spot vacated by Hurst. We got that. In your opinion, does Fuaga start at RT where's always played and we hope Penning actually improves? Or, do we put Fuaga at LT and see if Penning can play RT or guard and resign Peat to fill in where needed?
I think the week 1 Depth Chart looks like this:
LT: Penning
LG: Sladiveri
C: McCoy
RG: Ruiz
RT: Fuaga
@@SaintsToday I hope that's the case and Penning catches fire. He and Fuaga are both physical, nasty maulers and that would be great to see. Let's assume Penning is a bust- then what? Do you see them putting Peat at LT or trying to snag a FE?
I’m gonna go out and say that Carr better hope he can stay healthy bc if he doesn’t he will lose his job to Rattler.
Give Carr a frontline....he will stay healthy!
The first 3 picks were a homerun A+ selections, after that it got kinda mid.
Best dbs in the entire nfl. If you don't like it, kick rocks
honestly my best offseason for the saints is ryan ramcheck gets cut after june 1st which will save us some cap space we then keep fuaga at rt we then see if penning can play lg for us or we may have to try him out at lt just to see if it clicks with him i’d then say we consider trading someone to get a line men or free agent then honestly i dont hope carr gets hurt but id love for spencer to be our 2nd string and say carr gets out for 2-3 games and rattler steps in and we see what he can do
I think Penning would be better at guard myself. Give him a more narrow blocking lane and I think he would shine.
this draft class a smooth A
I thought Tyrann was the Free Safety
Wat happens to hill now ??
He continues to kick Ass.

Saints Draft Grades: All 7 Rounds From 2024 NFL Draft Ft. Kool-Aid McKinstry & Spencer Rattler - ruclips.net/video/VrKNLaQkKq8/видео.html

People who have rookie Rattler beating out Carr as Starting QB know ZERO about the SAINTS philosophy.
5 cb
I give us a B only bc at the end of the draft they went after their usual development projects that went to the institute of northern Iowa or whatever lol. First 2 picks really carry this draft just have to see what the rest produce ig but than again grading a draft this early is stupid bc literally any of these players could play or none at all lol you hope they do tho or at least bring value to the team
Don't get it twisted, Khristian Boyd is a DAWG
28
Now only 6 months to see how these guys pan out
I’d say C - DAT

Pro Football Focus gave Saints a A+
PFF may know ball

Bub ran a 4.43 on his second try at the combine and I think he can get a little faster.
I agree that he prob could get a little faster, but we have to remember that 4.43 is a breakaway measurement. I'm more interested in his speed working in traffic. I think he will be a great addition to our WR squad and look forward to how he develops in the route department.
B or B+
WE NEED TO SIGN A DAMN VETERAN SAFETY. I CAN'T BELIEVE WE DIDN'T DRAFT ONE NOR SIGN ON THRU UDFA .
Saints signed Safety Millard Bradford as a UDFA
At least the falcons waited their first pick
It's kindda unfair to compare Means to other WRs, this may add pressure.
I think he'll do just fine, but not star level, at least not in the rookie season
He's a 5th round pick. There's literally no pressure
Saints might win 4 games and draft #2CUB next year

B isnt a bad grade.
😂 Want a bit of draft irony?
In 2023 the Bucs draft a DT out of Pitt ten spots before the Saints picked Bryan Bresee. Bresee proceeds to give Tampa Bay hell! 😂 Practically living in their backfield.
And in 2024 the Bucs select a Center out of Duke to help block Bryan Bresee.
Everybody else has us as a top 10 draft. Falcons last.
it's hilarious
Most channels gave the Saints an A. Mel thinks a jock strap is a Covid Mask

Wow wow brother don’t compare OPOY MT CANTGUARDMIKE to bub means for both sake. Bub probably won’t ever reach that potential (literally no WR ever will unless your name is JJ, T Hill, or Jamar Chase and even these 3 have to have a hell of year like MT did which you could argue at least one of them did) just really hard to replicate what MT did but I mean even if we get half of what MT did that is a steal especially for a late 5th rounder 6th rounder hell of a pick
2019 was great, but if it's been done before it can be done again
Who was your favorite draft pick?

Do you think they move adebo to safety, Taylor to cb2 and put kool aid in nickel?

Can’t even name him lol. Brendan Rice is a product of his dads name

Just what I said smart guy
Have to stop comparing everyone to mt
I compared literally 1 person to MT he’s gone it’s time to move on

Drew not here to throw to bub…!
Rattler is
Hafner is too right?
Haenet spell check sucks
Sign justin simmons
Rattlers better then carr
Rattler
Pronounced "tally essay."
Nope, he Said “Ta-Lees” himself
Kiper doesn't know diddly.
Kiper still blows.
one thing about Rattler...he is not athletic...cannot run I mean at all. Now that is not a death knell as a QB he is old school. Think less talented Marino...Hell Brady couldn't run either.
Michael Thomas had Drew Brees 😂 but I would love for Bub to be a replacement for Mike
Rattler 28-14 college record…💩
Patrick Mahomes was 13-19 in college
Horrible class maybe two players might make the roster
No 5 players make the roster
practice squad quarterback
Do you watch college ball? Obviously not.
@@scarlettm8702 he did nothing in college
@scarlettm8702 he's not making 53 man roster this is not college
@scarlettm8702 if he was that good, he would have went first Round. He was the #1QB 2019 and go's round 5 shame on you #2QB 2019 was the number 2 pick in draft
Draft pick doesn’t have any impact on roster spot, he will likely beat Jake Haener as QB2
