Kool Aid McKinstry: How do you like the pick? (2 Viewers)

[ELLIASJWILLIAMS]

Back to the topic at hand... if I were a betting man, I'd say Kool-Aid is being brought in for the nickel role so that Taylor can move back to the outside in place of Shon or Adebo in the case of injury/trade/free agency. We were awful at the nickel last season and it feels like such a waste to have Taylor there when he has so much natural ability on the boundary.

Yeah, Taylor takes Issac Yiadom’s spot as top backup, which is good due to Lattimore track record w/ injuries. It’s the best use of his skills, and I agree he was horrible in the slot. Im curious if we’re still going to add a CB for competition sake, or just give him the slot job right out.

With all our needs. Terrible pick. Unless Lat is being traded.

this allows us to trade him and save money if we choose to. nice to have that luxury

 

[tim martin]

Pretty lopsided trade on the chart…



Edit: this info is inaccurate. The trade was even.

i wasn’t mad. i didn’t think a 5 and 6 was much. i was just hoping it wasn’t 2 5ths

Let me have a LB. Demario Davis gonna to playing with Walker... A WALKER

He'd still be Top 5.

 

[Madmarsha]

Off to Google I go as I've no clue who that is lol.

That's who played Hagrid. But I first saw him in a little 1989 movie called Let It Ride where he played a really charming guy behind the betting window. Not a really well known movie but a big cast and my husband and I quote it often.

Dude is becoming a fan favorite strictly off his nickname.

He'd still be Top 5.

Kind of wild. He's Wolverine

I guess it’s ok to make a typo in one of the 3 languages I speak and write, once in a while.

Come on, it was a Saints joke.

Demario Davis just supposed to play till he's 40?

It’s not a useful pick to spend a 2nd on a LB who won’t see significant defensive snaps anytime soon. Demario’s still the top LB. Werner and Gay are young starter level LBs getting the other snaps.

We can always draft a definite 1st round starting LB in Demario’s retirement offseason.

Love it love it love it. I would have been okay (sort of) with taking him in the first.

 

[Holy Avenger]

So far drafting Kool-Aid and the Hawaiian Punch!

He's 35. Father time is undefeated. The saying is always better to be a year early than a year too late.

New Orleans Saints: Kool-Aid McKinstry, CB, Alabama – A+ Grade
Here’s another second-round steal. Kool-Aid McKinstry drew interest from some teams in the 20s, so it’s amazing that the Saints are getting him at No. 41. McKinstry fills a huge need with the Saints really struggling at cornerback outside of Marshon Lattimore.

Walt liked it

I liked this until he said the Saints struggled at cornerback. Adebo and Yissam made a lot of money off of their play from last season.

Love it love it love it. I would have been okay (sort of) with taking him in the first.

I was thinking he'd be a great target if we, against all odds, traded back into the 20's range. Even better.
