2024 NFL Draft Day 3 Recap

Here is where the diamonds in the rough lie. For the New Orleans Saints, they might have gotten one in QB Spencer Rattler in the fifth round, two picks after where I had hoped he would go, to the Las Vegas Raiders. They drafted LB Tommy Eichenburg, who is good against the run but struggles in coverage, instead.

Earlier in the day the team drafted CB DeCamarian Richardson. He was said to be a minor steal at that spot in the draft and he is a zone coverage specialist but he doesn’t do as well in man coverage, which is a Raider trademark.

The team drafted a running back in the sixth round, Dylan Laube. Running backs are a dime-a-dozen.

Lastly, in the seventh round, they drafted Trey Taylor, safety. High-Character guy, like one former coach Jon Gruden would like on his roster, and CB MJ Devonshire, who is undersized at that position but can be a serviceable special teams player.
