@SaintsForecast The only 1st overall picks that would still be above him in the last 20 years are Cam Newton, Andrew Luck, and Joe Burrow (maybe Trevor Lawrence), otherwise he's going 1

Russell would be a top 3 pick any of last 20 years. He was that freaking athletic
Steve Palazzolo@StevePalazzolo_
He would still be going No. 1 overall this year
English
306 pounds and 6% body fat.
Bruce Feldman@BruceFeldmanCFB
This is the biggest freak athlete in this year’s NFL draft. I’d never heard of him till two days ago. He’s from a small village in Nigeria. He is 6-4 1/2, 306 lbs and jumps 10-10. Some folks in the NFL think he’ll go on Day 3 of the draft. Free story: nytimes.com/athletic/71683…

There's still an off chance the Saints pick Peter Woods at 8, which I have no problem with. He's really good
English
@SenterJacob @SaintsForecast Woods is elite don't listen to the haters
English
@SaintsForecast This is my perfect draft. Denzel Boston is the PERFECT X receiver the saints need. Ponds is the best corner I've seen since Lattimore. Boettcher is the smartest linebacker in the draft. Like Luke Kuechly IQ. Coogan is the best center in the draft and Kobe will replace Ruiz
English
The Saints track record of DE evaluations + hand waving away Bain’s record short arms…no thank you. It’s terrifying. I’ll drink my way to believing in it though.
English
@DBro_FFB @ScottBarrettDFB Missed tackles forced is not yac though
English
YAC is one of the stickier stats we have on WR prospects
If a player isn’t great at YAC in college it’s VERY rare for them to suddenly be good at it in the pros
Scott Barrett@ScottBarrettDFB
2026 WR Class by Missed Tackles Forced per Reception + Zachariah Branch is not the "MTF machine" they told me he was, instead looks like just another screen merchant fraud + Jordyn Tyson not beating the allegations + Bunch of other projected top-75 picks in the death knell range
English
@thesoulman57 Who do we think is the actual most likely with the highest value?
I'm thinking Mccoy
English
fascinated to see how many WRs go in this range in the draft
could make an argument that WR is the most optimal or second most optimal position for all of these teams to take. but they’ve all been heavily linked to other positions as well
could see multiple teams go with the approach of going OT / EDGE early and then trying to find WRs later
English
@JT25Saints but also Howden is our starting DS in nickel, so Downs would be an instant upgrade there
English
Saints are not gonna pick top 10 imo for a long time. We are one injury away from Vele and Tipton our WR2 or WR1. Yiadom as CB1 or 2. Rumoh as your starting edge. It makes no sense to draft a safety at 8. Just doesn’t.
English
Legit would not surprise me if Saints top 5 on their draft board are:
1. Bailey
2. Bain
3. Delane
4. Mccoy
5. Downs
English
@EthanKreagerFF Reggie Virgil is getting a lot of attention from NFL teams too
English
Day 3 WRs aren’t supposed to hit.
But every few years… one hits big.
Tyreek Hill.
Amon-Ra St. Brown.
Puka Nacua.
What did they show early that everyone missed?
I dug through the data to find the class of 2026's most likely day 3 WR studs👇🧵
English
Look at all those good blocking TEs on the bottom right that are irrelevant to the passing game because they're so good at blocking. I bet one of them makes a few All-Pro teams because of their blocking.
Football Insights 📊@fball_insights
TE prospects career yards per team pass attempt vs how often they’re blocking when on the field

@FreakyPeezy Advanced analytics suggest he actually added the most total EPA of anyone on our d line last year
English
So the Saints are serious about WR and TE
Kyle Borgognoni@kyle_borg
When you see an NFL top-30 visit headline: The signal is NOT the player visiting but how many visits the team allocates for a position. Over the last decade, if a team uses 3 or more top-30 visits on a RB, they've selected a RB in the 1st 4 rounds 80.6% of the time.
English
@jmthrivept Every single team has shown interest in Reggie Virgil and wonder if he's one of those guys the media just isn't talking about that might actually be T4 or T5 here
English
My guess for WR tiers:
T1
Jordyn Tyson
Carnell Tate
Makai Lemon
KC KC Concepcion
T2
Denzel Boston
Omar Cooper
T3
Skyler Bell
Chris Bell
Germie Bernard
Elijah Sarratt
Chris Brazzell
T4
Antonio Williams
Ted Hurst
Ja’Kobi Lane
T5
Bryce Lance
Eric McAlister
Zachariah Branch

@ScottBarrettDFB Audric Esteme was low key our best running back towards end of season, was playing really well
English
You're not allowed to talk about this
They'll shoot you for talking about this

Kind of a random, mean tweet, and I don't really know how else to say this but this is the most overrated player in the 2026 NFL Draft merely at the suggestion that he's a 3rd Round Pick
English
The Packers are the 3rd favorite in the NFC but they have the worst roster and arguably the worst QB in the division. Make it make sense.
Kalshi Sports@KalshiSports
Favorites to win the NFC, via Kalshi: 16% — Rams, Seahawks 12% — Packers 10% — Lions, Niners 9% — Bears, Eagles 7% — Cowboys 4% — Vikings 3% — Giants, Bucs, Commanders 2% — Falcons, Panthers, Saints 1% — Cardinals

@Ihartitz Maybe joking but this would completely change the meta game of football. It's one of the first mechanisms that disincentivizes the offense from gaining yards in certain situations
English
4 point field goals. What has happened to this country.
DC Defenders@UFLDefenders
MATT MCCRANE DRILLS IT FROM 60-YARDS 🦵💥 The first 4-point FG in pro football history 🤯

@ScottBarrettDFB @TheFFScout_x Wait so why is he going to probably be undrafted? Poor RAS?

Projected UDFA RB Terion Stewart narrowly edges out Ashton Jeanty and Bijan Robinson as the most elusive RB in PFF College history

@JT25Saints He won't make it to us but if he does, he's a lock
