Grading the Saints trades for Devaughn Vele and Luke Fortner ... and is Spencer Rattler QB1? Ep. 406

The New Orleans Saints have some obvious, glaring needs, and this week they did what they could to fill at least two of those holes. First, they traded DT Khalen Saunders to the Jacksonville Jaguars for backup center Luke Fortner. Then, they dealt 2026 draft picks in the fourth and seventh rounds to the Denver Broncos for wide receiver Devaughn Vele. Were either or both moves a little too high a price to pay? Host Jim Derry asks Times-Picayune and Advocate Saints editor Zach Ewing what he thinks on Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 406) presented by Evangeline Securities, and the Dat Family weighs in, as well. Also, with Spencer Rattler being announced as QB1 for Saturday’s preseason finale vs. the Broncos, does that mean he has won the job over Tyler Shough? Gabe Henderson is here to make a prediction for college football’s Week 0, and he offers his opinions on Jim’s predictions for the AFC North and NFC North this week.
