What do u think about Hester?
 

Would anybody b for drafting Hester if he is there in the third? I have seen mocks that have him going befor that but how do you think he would do on our team?

Re: What do u think about Hester?
 

A back up FB and a 4th string RB for the 3rd round? I haven't seen him in the top 3 rounds before. I always heard 5-7.

Re: What do u think about Hester?
 

would you like to see him taken then? i wouldnt want him in the top 3 for sure and im not sure he will even become a very good nfl player. he was great at lsu though.

I would take him in a minute in round 3.....He would be really good in the red zone or on 3rd and short when you need a tough 1 or 2 yards for a first.

In 5-7 and we cover our Defense then yeah I would like for us to get him. Make him a gunner on punt team and blocker on punt return and do some kickoff. Can play RB/FB in a pinch to.

Do you think he will make a good pro? do you see his game looking like alstot's?

Re: What do u think about Hester?
 

Alstott was 6-1 248, Hester 5-10 226. Alstott was one of the last fullbacks utilized for running the ball. I think he will be more of the Steve Gleason type. And 3rd round? When other backs who are better at being a true RB is still available?

Re: What do u think about Hester?
 

I agree that he does not compare to Alstott. Alstott was a bruising runner who relied purely on contact to gain yards. While Hester is a good short yardage back, his feet are much quicker than Alstott's but he also doesnt have the straight ahead take on blocking ability that Alstott had. Ive seen some comparison to Nick Goings in terms of skillsets (I think he has the potential to be a better pro). He will be a phenomenal special teams player. Hes a jack of all trades much like Brian Leonard from last year but I dont think he is at that level. He will certainly make contributions to a team that uses him effectively. I think his best role aside from special teams is a 3rd down back in a 2RB Shotgun set or other passing set for that matter. He can pick up the blitz, take a draw or even screen, and catch the ball in the flats. He will consistently get positive yardage on plays but isnt a big play threat in the pros. He will find his nitch on some team - however, I think his fit for the Saints would be on special teams and as a short yardage back. But I would not take him as early as the third. More like the 5th IMO.

Exactly

If we can get him in the latter rounds, it would be cool!
