besides the big names?

Dorin Dickerson, Pittsburgh
Height: 6-1. Weight: 226.
Projected 40 Time: 4.55.
Combine 40 Time: 4.40.
Benchx225: 24. Vertical: 43. Arm: 34.

TE? Short yardage and goal line back to boot! I smell our new third down back and maybe a future situational FB/HB? I knew he was fast but he was unbielavable in the drills. I have to agree with Maylock for the first time this year. If he is there at 64 I would love to see the saints grab him. If he repeats these numbers on pro day I see him moving up into the second round out of the reach of the saints.

Dennis Pitta, BYU
Height: 6-4. Weight: 245.
Projected 40 Time: 4.66.
Combine 40 Time: 4.63.
Benchx225: 27. Vertical: 34. Arm: 32 1/4.
Projected Round (2010): 3-4.

read my blog on this kid. http://blackandgold.com/blogs/hagan7...ive-draft.html
He is just what the saints need at TE. He is SMART. Now he answered the big question about his athleticism. That's no longer a question. He looked great.

I would not mind if the saints took both players in the draft in rounds 2 and 3.

OC
Eric Olsen, Notre Dame
Height: 6-4. Weight: 306.
Projected 40 Time: 5.19.
Combine 40 Time: 5.22.
Benchx225: 35. Arm: 32 1/2.
Projected Round (2009): 4-5.

I know ND suxed last year but Olsen was not the reason the OL was bad. He was the only player to suit up for every game they played and play he did.

New name to watch

If either Eric Olsen of Marshall Newhouse is there in round 4, you gotta grab him and continue the streak of the Saints stealing offensive linemen in the mid rounds...

Olsen is a beast and could play quickly where Newhouse may need a year to bulk and improve his game as well...

Round 3 Candidate for the Saints > RB Joique Bell

hagan714

Joique Bell, Wayne State, 5-11, 223

nice pick up but I say he and

Charles Scott, LSU, 6-0, 234

might be around at the bottom of the 4th.

Want a screwy player to look at in say the 6th,

LaMarcus Coker, Hampton, 5-11, 205, 4.32
2008 Coker was dismissed from Tennessee after failing his fourth drug test.
He hasn't been in trouble in a long time, and appears to have turned his life around.

Love to be a fly on the wall for his interview.

Yeah Bell looks pretty solid. The SEC RBs could all be solid players at the next level. Charles Scott, Montarrio Hardesty (my sleeper), Ben Tate and Anthony Dixon. All will be great mid-round backs.

Here is a thought. With the Saints oogling over Beanie Wells last year watch out for a RB pick at #32 to surprise. Toby Gearhardt or LeGarrette Blount?

jeanpierre

Careful with those U of Tenn players (the Tenn Paradox)...

Speaking of U of Tenn, did you see the broadjump of Montario Hardesty...

hagan714

Toby Gearhardt - he is all over the board in pre drafts. i say bottom of the second

LeGarrette Blount - depends on interviews

jeanpierre

NFL Network mentioned Ryan Matthews, Fresno State as a guy moving into the first round...Saints?

jeanpierre

I don't like Cody, especially if we stay in a 4-3 front; I just don't like the big guys who don't have the discipline to control their weight; it tends to translate into their effort and play on the field...
