Saints Wire editor John Sigler poured some cold water on the theory that the Super Bowl champion Bucs are poised to rule the NFC South this season. That topic got the guys thinking: Where exactly do the Saints fit in the NFL's pecking order for 2021? Are they really a middle-of-the-pack team? The guys discuss, while wrapping up their thoughts on the offseason and looking ahead to the summer.

But with a couple days to digest and study the team's newest first-round pick, Saints Wire editor John Sigler sees plenty to like. The guys discuss the Saints' 2021 draft class, including head coach Sean Payton's decision to take a flyer on Notre Dame quarterback Ian Book in the fourth round.

We're both very analytical in that way, so I found that was a good thing to discuss with my dad, being that there were no sons in the family."(6:42) "If nothing else, I would l like to serve as a tale of A) it's never too late to change your mind on what you want to do and B) if you think you have an idea of what the five years out of your college experience are going to look like, please don't have that set in stone."(10:48) "The more that you do mock drafts, one thing I've learned is don't pigeonhole yourself on one player."(12:02) "While the Saints normally don't draft based on need, the pandemic has put everyone in an unprecedented situation where there's no real ability to retain key talent at positions of need. So their two big positions of need are cornerback and linebacker."(15:18) "If you're a Saints fan, you have to know the Saints do not ever have a set place that they are picking."(19:59) "To have eight picks, with a lot of them in the 3rd or 4th round - those are actually picks that people would be interested in getting - that's just so much capital to work with."(23:07) "What sticks out to me the most is (Zaven Collins) is a linebacker who has the tracking abilities of a safety."(24:12) "If I could have my dream pick - and it still included a cornerback - then it would be Zaven Collins."(29:25) Random RoundCONNECT WITH US / LINKS MENTIONEDMaddy Hudak Twitter2021 NFL Mock Draft - The Saints Wire - Maddy Hudak's first round picks for every team2021 NFL Draft - The Saints Wire - Seven rounds of Saints mock draft picks, with tradesWho Dat Confessional Podcast on YouTubeRachel Jones TwitterRachel Jones InstagramSUBSCRIBE, RATE AND REVIEW“Black and Gold Rush is awesome and authentic, and I can't wait for more.” It's easy - scroll to the bottom on Apple Podcasts, tap to rate out of 5 stars, and select “Write a Review.” Then let me know what you loved most about the episode!

Former New Orleans Saints GM Randy Mueller joins this episode of Black and Gold Rush with the NFL Draft just three days away! Mueller was thrilled to "be back in Saints world" - what he called one of the best times in his career, though it only lasted two years.Mueller shares his insights on many topics from his 30+ years in football, from drafting the Saints' all-time leading rusher Deuce McAllister in 2001 and how mock drafts played a role, to what the Who Dat Nation is all wondering - where the Saints will go with the 28th overall pick in 2021. Mueller also gets candid about how things ended for him in New Orleans and shares advice for others when life gets turned upside down.Tune in Thursday, April 29, for a special NFL Draft edition of Black and Gold Rush with The Saints Wire's Maddy Hudak!LISTEN FOR THESE QUOTES(3:40) "At age 17, I packed up my belongings and goofy looking permed hairdo and went over to to the Seahawks facility and worked for $44 a week and ended up 20 years later, I was the boss."(7:10) "I've always been able to use these mock drafts as a tool. And when I say mock drafts, it's anybody's mock drafts, I don't care if it's a guy on the street, if it's a guy from another team, if it's a media guy, I welcomed all of our people to collect these drafts and bring them into our draft room."(15:02) "My philosophy has always been if you tell me exactly what you want, we'll find it, that's not a problem, we'll find exactly the right fit. So I think it's all about fit."(21:01) "I have Trevor Lawrence at the top, he has all all the boxes checked. He's a big strong dude who can make all the throws. I think the biggest question I have about him is learning an NFL offense and processing it at a higher rate of speed than he's ever had to do before at Clemson. And then I have Zach Wilson rated second behind him. Zack does so many things inside the pocket and outside the pocket and does more level 2 and level 3 quarterback tasks than any of the ones for me in this year's draft. The other three guys, for me all have some questions."(23:44) "Picking as late as they do 28, here's what I would say, I would say they'd be less inclined to fill a specific need and more inclined to pick the best player available. Nobody stacks their board the same. So the Saints pick at 28 will probably get somebody on their board that they rank in the top 20."(27:43) "The two short seasons I spent in New Orleans were the best of my professional life. It was awesome. And it was mainly because of the fans."(32:58) "Whether it's doing podcasts, whether it's writing, whether it's doing anything you like, just try to stay in as many lanes as you can so you have options. And really, it's all about options. That's what our world is, right? It's about timing and options."(34:38) Random Round  CONNECT WITH US / LINKS MENTIONEDRandy Mueller TwitterMueller Football AdvisingThe Football GM on Apple PodcastsThe Draft Chronicles Part I: The Value of Mock DraftsThe Draft Chronicles Part II: The Draft is a crap shoot, right?Deuce McAllister reflects on being drafted by the Saints 20 years ago todayRachel Jones TwitterRachel Jones InstagramSUBSCRIBE, RATE AND REVIEW“Black and Gold Rush is awesome and authentic, and I can't wait for more.” It's easy - scroll to the bottom on Apple Podcasts, tap to rate out of 5 stars, and select “Write a Review.” Then let me know what you loved most about the episode!
