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.

Agree with you 100%. I think it’s a “get under the cap and retain a couple of our own” type of year. I expect one splash signing that makes everyone say “How did they do it?”

Somebody is getting traded - Sean is the type that couldn't sit still in school and he won't sit still now...

He'd have to use draft picks as collateral, which is cool with me. We won't have anyone left that doesn't carry a huge dead money hit if traded.

Yeah, but who? I kind of like the players left.
