Saints Draft Spencer Rattler : How do you like the pick? (1 Viewer)

[Innotech]

all I know is Gamecock fans absolutely LOVE this guy and many just became Saints fans just for giving him a shot

Meh... not because of Rattler, but because we needed more help on the lines and TE.

Good prospect; but living in SC this guy never lived up to the hype.

He should of had a much better college career; but that could be to several other factors as well.

 

[Hubig]

Kind of a bold move not to address DT when you lost arguably your best run stopping DT with Roach. Still weak on the front four unless Foskey takes a huge leap and Turner magically stays healthy and becomes a contributor.

Ah man, I mess Hubig's pies so much...

At least they're getting a Popeye's in Northern Ireland soon

It's a 5th round pick. It is a crapshoot. You can't guarantee filling in spot, you just get lucky. So sure, why not. Let's see what Rattler's got.

He will be a cheaper camp arm than the vets, no? Also, his ceiling is a little higher than the vets.

5 DT on roster; one was addressed in this draft

Turner and Foskey play DE, not DT.

Good interview with Kay Adams. He definitely comes across as confident, humbled, focused, and mature.

I thought Haener looked young, but Rattler looks to be about 15 years old. If he pans out, at least we'll have him for 20+ years! LOL!

I bet when it’s all said and done, Rattler will have had a better pro career than at least one of the 6 QBs who went in the top 12 picks of this draft.

well considering that 2/3 of 1st round QBs either wash out, or become career backups, that's a safe bet. I'm right there with you!

Very much looking forward to seeing him in his first preseason game
Hated the pick at first but the more l read about him and think about where we drafted him the more l am starting to love it

 

[Nolan]

In watching his highlights, Legette is absolutely unreal. Hate that the Panthers were able to land him.

Mocks had him way too low. Most had him falling out of the first round, but he’s a first rounder for sure.

 

[RebSaint]

I really didn't like the pick when it first happened, but started thinking about the risk v. reward etc. and the fact that Carr hasn't solidified his future with the Saints.

 

[St. Geezy]

Yep. Had the same takeaway when trying to study Rattler, the NFC South may be in some trouble with Legette. That guy had no business lasting until the end of round 1.

 

[Kegger]

The Saints desperately need depth at DT, along the OL, and at LB. Rattler may be intriguing to some but he was basically a luxury pick. The Saints need rotational depth on the DL, backups at LB, a TE, depth RB, and depth at OT (even after adding Fuaga). The last thing they needed was an arrogant undersized developmental QB. Hopefully Rattler proves me wrong but I seriously doubt it.

How did you feel about the rest of the draft and UDFA?
