2021 NFL Draft: New Orleans Saints

jeanpierre · 03-12-2021, 07:47 AM

The 40 is important, but as AG pointed out, these are guys running on their home surface they've been training on...

Taking a guy to an unfamiliar place (kinda like a road trip) and scouting reaction, performance is another value of the NFL Combine...

Know some are hoping for Mac Jones to fall for us at the end of Round One...

But I'd like the opportunity for Florida's Kyle Trask or maybe Stanford's Davis Mills with a Round 3 pick...

At this point we should probably just start drafting a QB every year at some point. It may take a decade or more to luck into one that can actually efficiently start an NFL game. At worst we would keep a cheap scout team QB in house.

Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah - LB Notre Dame

Textbook tacker, good in coverage and arrives with bad intentions

He's top rated on a lot of scouts boards. Not sure if he is a "fit" for us but has a good body of work up in South Bend, IN.

Great player, but where does he fit in our defense? We like prototypical LB body types of at least 6’2” and 230 lbs. If we target any LB’s I think it’ll be Kentucky’s Jamin Davis or Jabril Cox.

You're probably right XVI.

The shame of it is that for a very brief period we had Kwon A, I saw some of the best linebacker play in a good while from New Orleans.

I just hope we can find another young assassin to pair with DD before his play falls off. Maybe the Saints front office mind set is to find one via Free Agency? Vilma, Fujita, Demario just to name a few.

Maybe Baun breaks out this year … assuming he's put in a position to succeed.

BTW, if Cox falls to the second round you gotta give him draft consideration. A lot of LSU players continue to transition well at the next level.

They could throw the prototype measurables out the window for a player of JOK’s caliber. Now that I look at it, Kwon Alexander was just about the same size as Owusu-Koramoah (Kwon had about 10 lbs more on him.)

I really need to see how we approach free agency before diving too deep into potential draft prospects.

Chris, I just don't see how we are going to be players in free agency. I realize that this team always has a surprise or two during free agency but this year I will be really surprised if we can bring in another quality vet.

The more tape I watch, the more I believe CB Greg Newsome is the guy.

Could see that if Jaycee Horn is off the board...
