We’re just hours away from the start of the 2024 NFL Draft, and there has been some movement both in mock drafts and in odds on where offensive tackles might go Thursday night. Will Olu Fashanu, JC Latham or other targets still be there when the Black and Gold draft at No. 14?
Will the team think they are forced to make a move up? Would they consider a guy like tight end Brock Bowers of Georgia if he is still on the board? Would they look at wide receiver or trade down? And what is in store for our 5-hour show Thursday night on all of our NOLA.com social media channels … including our Dattitude YouTube page?
Jim Derry is on all that on a special Thursday edition of the Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 231) brought to you by Evangeline Securities, with Saints Editor Zach Ewing. We’ll also briefly touch on the Pelicans’ no-show performance in Oklahoma City in Game 2, and the ‘Extra Point’ goes back 31 years to when the Saints traded beloved Pat Swilling to the Detroit Lions for the rights to draft eventual Hall-of-Fame left tackle Willie Roaf.
