RD 2 | PICK 63 - @Chiefs: Willie Gay LB, Miss State
Gay (4.46 40 @ 243 lbs) made our NGS day 2 standouts list with elite athleticism (99 athleticism score) for a linebacker. Suspensions (8 total games) derailed his 2019 season and his production score took a hit (53).#NFLDraftpic.twitter.com/rCpEi7X6qT
With the Saints in dissaray and just firing their coach. Would it be a good idea to do what we did with Mecole and bring Willie back for a six or seventh round pick? It just crossed my mind. If the money could work out I'd do it tbh cause he knows the system obviously and was a huge presence in the locker room. [Reply]

I wouldn’t be against it as he would be a good addition to spy Lamar/Allen come playoff time. [Reply]

In.
Though I'm not sure how many reps there are for him with Chenal playing like he is.
But he could be really useful in the right matchup. Mostly the Ravens with Jackson/Likely as potential headaches. [Reply]
Getting Willie's speed and all round athleticism back on the defense would only enhance the unit imo. He's on a one year deal there so why wouldn't the Saints deal him? I think it would be a very logical move to make. [Reply]
Saints just need to sell everything they can with the cap tsunami they are about to deal with in the off season. Just be bad for a few years and commit to the rebuild to get the salaries off the books. [Reply]

Love this idea. He's on a one year deal, would be a very manageable cap hit this year. We need Simply Red to send Veach a Facebook message. [Reply]
Willie Gay has sucked this year. I told y'all he wasn't good. And you were all worried about Leo Chenals athleticism. Chenal has been better than Willie ever was. [Reply]
