If we draft a lb. I hope it would be him.

I watched his games. He was Kuechly-esque when defending the run.

Re: 2018 NFL Draft Prospects - Saints
 

That's fair Rez ...however what about his inability to shed blocks in some of those games? Just imagine what will happen when a NFL caliber tackle put their hands on him?

I have no hate for Leighton as a player but I just believe he's a Day 2 guy.

Great athlete. Not sure how old the scouting report was I read but they had him projected to go late 2nd -4th round :confused:. But with his skill set, I think Uchenna is gone late 1st.

Payton says edge, wide receiver, tight end are all must positions. “There’s no flexibility” on getting one.

High praise for Lamar Jackson from Sean Payton: “I like him, I like him. Hes athletic. Hes got a magic smile to him. Hes a leader. ... He’s a special guy. You just have to be around him and interview him and you can see why he was successful.” Said next QB won’t be “Brees clone”

That last part is telling to me. Everyone just kind of expects us to go after a pocket passer, West Coast offense kind of QB.

He didn’t have a lot of experience. He was a reserve as a freshman and hurt most of that next year, but this past year he showed up. I don’t think he’s as strong as he’s going to be either. It’ll probably come with time. I wouldn’t be mad at the pick.

Pro Day March 27: Appalachian State, Texas A&M & Mississippi | Draft Analyst

I spoke with several people who are still buzzing about the workout of Sam Houston State defensive tackle PJ Hall. We posted his numbers yesterday and I’ve spoken with some over the past 24 hours who have confided they believe Hall had one of the best pro-day workouts of any non-combine defensive line prospect from the past ten years. Hall tested well then transfered that athleticism in position drills, easily moving around the field and looking good in zone drop drills. This comes as no surprise to anyone at SHSU as Hall entered the school's football program as a 260 pound tight end.

Hall, who was dominant for three days of Shrine practice, measured 6004 and 308 pounds. He touched an impressive 38 inches in the vertical jump, reached 9-foot-8 in the broad jump and completed 36 reps on the bench.

His first 40 time clocked under 4.8 (4.76 on a few watches) into the wind while his second attempt, with the wind, was under 4.7 (4.68 on a few watches).

"Payne" ... a solid run stuffer & deceptively quick for a man of his size. Fast forward to 5:26 ... you think Sean Payton can't use a guy like this on 3rd and goal ?

This CB looks like a late-round target of ours...

Source confirms the #Saints will host Cincinnati CB Linden Stephens on a predraft visit, as @AaronWilson_NFL reported. Visit scheduled to occur in mid-April and Saints also met with Stephens, who has sub 4.4 40-yard dash speed, night before Pro Day, I'm told.
