We shall see. Terrific talent though.

I just don’t know what we’re going to do at that other outside CB spot. Jenkins is great but age+money puts him on his way out. Obviously we need to pay Lattimore big money so we need a guy on a cheap rookie contract opposite him.

I haven’t watched the two Georgia CB’s yet but they’re getting first round buzz. Have you watched them at all yet?

As a side note, I was just thinking about how teams meet with prospects who they have no chance of drafting just to do research for the future. We met with Jameis Winston before the ‘15 draft when he was obviously the #1 pick and somehow he’s now going to be the successor to Drew Brees.

We'll see how that works out.

I'm only familiar with Tyson. Good in press coverage but average ball skills. I think he will go up the draft board because he has recovery speed … 4.4 guy. Scouts and coaches love speed.

IMO he is a Day 2 selection.

I don’t know who this Justin cat is but he’s on top of this stuff and definitely worth a follow.

Thanks Major. That’s very interesting.

I keep coming back to DT Levi Onwuzurike. He’s such a perfect fit at 3-technique. Onyemata can be that rare 1-technique who pressures the QB. Onyemata is so freaking strong he has no problem splitting C-G double teams. Onwuzurike has such a deadly quick first step.

Food for thought. A great overview of how critical the draft is to a team’s immediate success:

Since adding Ireland, the Saints have hit on nearly all their picks, even though they've overpaid for some - the case to continue to build through the draft...
