I'll continue to believe in Jeff Ireland and company.
I agree, K. He appears to be having a "Major" impact!

Sean Payton said the Saints had CB Marshon Lattimore ranked as their No. 3 or 4 prospect. When he fell to No. 11, the reaction in the room was "outstanding." The Saints even considered trading up for him before their patience paid off.

After our starters we have no backups that could step in and play. He or Zach can come off the bench and play great in a reserve roll. He will be our starter nxt year for sure when Zach retires. Hell of a pick. I love both so far. Now lets go get Willis in rd 2, Leggett and Beckwith in rd 3!

I'm not really upset with this pick, as I believe in his ability, but I didn't see this pick coming with the guys who were on the board. This, for me, is just further confirmation about what I've believed with the Saints and OSU. Good player, though.

We still have enormous pass rushing questions. Maybe we get a guy like Tim Williams. He can certainly get up the field, but he was an absolute one trick pony in college, so I don't know how reliable he would be.

Like who? SP himself said they had him #3 on their board.

Re: Everything to know about Marshon Lattimore

curious if we're going to single him up on Brandin Cooks any when we play Patriots.

Re: Everything to know about Marshon Lattimore

Bleacher report:

Strengths: Athleticism, size, technique, pretty much everything.

Weaknesses: Some little issues.

Marshon Lattimore is so good that when you try to scout other players, he upstages them. Several times during draft season, I found myself watching Raekwon McMillan or some receiver facing Ohio State, and I would suddenly have to rewind the tape a little bit. "Holy cow, was that Lattimore? How did he chase down that overthrow? How did he undercut that route? Why am I watching this guy and not just enjoying me some extra Lattimore?"

Instead of listing Lattimore's many virtues, let's nitpick. He has NCAA cornerback, play-the-receiver-not the-ball tendencies on contested passes. That takes about three days of training camp to correct, because a cornerback who can get in proper position to hassle the receiver can be taught to turn his head.

Lattimore also gets a little flat-footed off the line of scrimmage at times, and he will reach to grab a receiver releasing inside of him instead of either jamming or turning to chase. That's usually a focus issue caused by opponents avoiding your side of the field for quarters at a time.

That's about it for the criticism. Lattimore should grow quickly into a shutdown NFL cornerback.

This was a windfall for the Saints: the best cornerback in the draft, sitting pretty at No. 11. They also have another first-round pick. And Adrian Peterson. Let the good times roll, and let some of their 38-35 losses turn into 35-28 victories!



Grade: A+
