McKnight, a good read

very good read.

i liked him and thought he was gonna go at least the 5th round, the guy winds up in our hands as an udfa. major steal for us, has great hands, and quickness. i didnt know he could block as good as they say, i wouldnt mind keeping him over copper, and getting something in return for copper

I really like the fact that the kid can catch the rock. I see alot of WRs out there who can run a 4.2 with butterfingers. No good. I think Payton will grow quite fond of McKnight if he continues to show he has the hands and is willing to work hard.

The saints try to sign Hass after he was cut to the PS but it did not happen. End of story.
The one area of recieving that worries the most is over the middle. You do not have to fast but quick and bit on the crazy side to make aliving in the 10 to 15 yard range in that part of the field. McKnight might be the guy for that position. He seems to have the attitude for it.

I see Copper sticking around for a while because of his value on special teams. I personally don't like him as a receiver, but see him as a 4 or 5. Jones is pretty solid on ST also, so he might make it before Moore or McKnight

We have the quantity at WR, but we really won't see what we have with quality/consistency/health until training camp is well under way.
