Best Available Day Two Offensive Prospects for the Saints
How will New Orleans address the offensive side of the ball in Round 2 of the 2021 NFL Draft?

The New Orleans Saints selected University of Houston defensive end Payton Turner with the 28th overall selection in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft on Thursday night. Day 2 of the draft will resume this evening, with rounds 2 and 3. New Orleans is currently scheduled to have three selections tonight:
60th Overall (2nd Round)
105th Overall (3rd Round)
After failing to fill glaring needs at cornerback and linebacker with their first selection, there is still plenty of talent left on the board. The Saints could also address the offensive side of the ball. They could grab another receiver for new quarterback Jameis Winston. Perhaps they look to bolster the tight end position to complement Adam Trautman and veteran Nick Vannett.
2nd round, 46th overall: WR Amari Rodgers, Clemson
If you’re looking for your “prototypical Patriot” from this year s class, it’s Amari Rodgers. A four-year standout at Clemson, Rodgers is one of the best slot receivers in the class and can make big plays after the catch something old pal Jimmy Garoppolo loves his receivers to do. A big-play threat who can also stretch the field, Rodgers is a tough player who makes people miss while also being a willing blocker. He helps fills a need for the Patriots here at No. 46.

Happy Draft Day!! If you’ll remember to last year, several of the writers got together for the first annual FTRS Mock Draft, and well, this year, we decided to do it again! So without further ado, let’s get onto the rule and team assignments.
Rules
If there is a trade between two teams that are being run by the same person, it must be approved by a simple majority of the whole group.
Due to not being able to get everyone together at the exact same time, we are requiring that folks wait at least five minutes before making their selection to give people ample time to discuss trades and such.
