Hmm … these guys don't seem to be dialed in on him as a 2nd round selection huh?

Hopefully Werner is better than Anzalone & Baun. Especially taken that high in the draft.

The jury is still out on Baun, to be fair. No OTA's. Weird training camp.

And Anzalone... Big ol' tease.

Well, they keep saying they keep underestimating him. He was the most productive LB of the group at THE Ohio St U, and he plays all three spots.

How does Luke Kuechly compare ?

Looks like the measurables are close. So do we have a Luke Kuechly on our hands since this dude is so smart?

Someone please remind me... was Luke Kuechly any good?

Luke? I wouldn't go that far. I've read 4th/5th round grades on Werner. Eye ball test for me is meh. If he becomes a force I will say I'm wrong.

It's well past due for the Saints to hit on drafting a linebacker. It's been decades now …

Once again, the real people making the real picks are what determines the draft order. Not some outsider coming up with their order. If a team has 8 picks in the first three rounds and none after do they ignore a player they have targeted since before the draft because Mel McShay has him as a 5th rounder?

Does that make sense?
