Comments/Questions on these players is always welcomed.

I thought Crowder was a MLB or is that just where you are projecting him? I am guessing the () behind some means this is where you think they will play in the NFL correct? I can see that. Also, Rolle ran a 4.49 at his private workout after the combine, or at least that\'s what I thought I read. Also is this how you are ranking them? And Webster is that low? Yikes.

LKelley67

biggest difference i might think are-
SSLB
crowder n boley higher
ILB
morrison higher
CB
wilson lower, webster n washington higher

what is the first number? height i spose but i am having trouble with the fourth digit.

saintswhodi

The first digit is feet, the second two are for inches. The last one I think is the inch fraction. Like people sat 5 foot 11 and 1/8 inches. That last digit represents the fraction. So like Merriman is 6032 which is 6 feet 3 and whatever measurement the last digit is. I remember reading that somewhere.

LKelley67

otay. that makes sense. kinda.

saintswhodi

Last number is in eighths LKelley.

blackenstock, ware, morrison, burnett and ruud all could be had by the saints in the second...if we could just get extra picks...these guys I feel will be the steals in this group.

I would love to deal howard for a high second..draft davis with our first, ruud and burnett in the second and some how get warein the third.

maybe even mcune and morrison later on...just draft linebackers..and get rid of the current bunch zcet watson and colby.
