BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~119 Overall
CURRENT ADP: ~182
ANALYSIS: Shaheed has very little competition as the No. 2 WR behind Chris Olave. The Saints are in trouble as an organization and can’t afford to build out depth thanks to salary cap issues. Alvin Kamara is aging, Derek Carr is inconsistent at best, Juwan Johnson is returning after offseason foot surgery, and even Olave has battled back tightness during training camp.
Shaheed turned 46 catches into 719 yards and five scores in 15 games. PFF charted Shaheed with 21 deep (20+ yard) targets in ‘23, which led to 12 catches for 474 yards and all five of those TDs. The resulting 99.9 Deep Grade is beautiful. He caught 4-of-5 contested deep targets as well.

Whether they unlock more versatility in the short/intermediate game for Shaheed will be the difference between a good and great season here.
