The only way I see the Saints getting him is to give a first rounder next year... someone before us in the second will snag him perhpas and I think even a second maybe to much to give up. 3rd???

Obviously he did apply himself to his grades, cause, ya know, he would have been a senior. Maybe he had some personal issues or maybe school just wasn't for him. Not every football player, and surprisingly few, are Rhodes scholars or academic all americans. He is a good football player and hasn't gotten in trouble off the field.
As far as applying himself to work out, Mike Mamula applied himself to work out. How'd that do for him? Colston didn't have the most impressive workouts either and he was projected as a TE in the NFL, how'd that work out. Again, work outs are a sample to look at, but what you do on the field is far more impressive. The kid can obviously play.
Last, we are not gonna give up a first rounder for him. If that's what it takes, we don't get him. But obviously if you feel SOMEONE will give up a second for him, then SOMEONE must think he can play in the league cause supplemental picks usually do not garner 2nd rounders.
