Ep 238 - Matt Harmon of Reception Perception Talking Saints & WRs!

In this episode of the Saints Block Party Podcast, host Ryan is joined by Matt Harmon of Reception Perception to dive deep into the upcoming NFL Draft, with a strong focus on wide receivers and the New Orleans Saints' potential needs. Harmon shares his extensive research, including his goal of charting 30 receivers this year, and breaks down the top prospects: Carnell Tate, Makai Lemon, and Casey Concepcion. He praises Tate’s versatility across all 32 NFL offenses and Lemon’s ideal fit in Kellen Moore’s scheme, especially as a slot receiver who excels on crossing routes and over the middle. Harmon also discusses the Saints’ historical lack of receiver drafting and how they may finally address it. The conversation explores Chris Olave’s breakout season, the potential of Jalen Polk in New Orleans, and the intriguing case of Chris Bell, who is actively campaigning to be drafted by the Saints. Harmon also touches on the importance of drafting big, physical receivers and the value of players like Malachi Fields and Dazon Stribbling who could fit the Saints’ offensive identity. The episode ends with a lighthearted but passionate defense of Polk’s potential and a hopeful note for future Saints rookie success.
