Re: Can the draft get here already!!!!!!
I've been on Connor for the past two years... love the guy. He's probably one of the safest picks in the draft. The only thing he doesn't have is superstar potential... but you know exactly what you're going to get from him. People tend to draft on upside... which is why other linebackers are rated higher than him. I would not be disappointed to see us "reach" for Connors. Barring injury, he'll be a hundred tackling machine for the next 10 years.
As far as the draft is concerned, I'm beyond ready to get this thing over with. It's not the suspense, it's just the long dragged out process. I'm ready for camp to start already. |

Re: Can the draft get here already!!!!!!
I would bail out of 10 and fall way back into 1 and grab him. I really think the draft rankings are not telling you how good he is. There is nothing much to hype about a blue collar guy. I always like the lunch pail mentality for LBs. I would really be surprised to see him fall into the second like most have him. he is a solid top 20 pick.

MLB or OLB if i had to pick one for the saints then i would take Mayo and play him on the outside.. he has great speed and would compliment vilma very well i think... though u couldnt go wrong either way |
