Saw what the lack of tackling in the secondary got us last year? Can he tackle is not an uncommon question among elite defensive teams in the nfl. If they can not they will almost always pass on those players.

This is a requirement the saints have placed to little value on the past few years in the secondary. Especially safety which is your last line of defense.

By the third quarter you could see the Saints were done...
I agree. I wish they all had desire like Shockey had desire, no doubt about the desire there.No quit at all.

I had my issues with billings and never bought into round 1 but to still be on the board is a shocker

yep Broncos took Simmons. I always find it reassuring when good defensive teams take my players lol

Reminds me of Tiny Richardson a couple of years back. Saw him ranked as high as the first and ended up a UDFA. Didnt realise he retired after a year

I agree with the Baylor issues and playing against spread offenses all the time. But I will be floored to see him go undrafted.

Re: 2016 Saints Draft Live Discussion Thread

Well..things definitely went a different way today. Just gonna rely on the expertise of the people that get paid to make the decisions. I would like us to take a chance on Rico Gathers. That dude looks like a beast and the chance he could be a Jimmy 2.0 is worth taking a chance on IMO.
