Saints’ first pick in third round

With their 1st pick in the 3rd round, the New Orleans Saints select...

Josh Chapman, Defensive Tackle from the NCAA National Champions Alabama!!!

Nawww, I'm not a homer at all.

What's the comparison between Richardson and Ingram? Why was TR desired so high in the draft and Ingram still there at 28 last year?
Is TR that much better than Heisman winner Ingram? Did the Browns reach? Were the Saints fortunate that Ingram was there?
Do we need a new thread for these questions?

TR and Ingram look very similar to me. Both ran a low 40 of 4.47 so the speed is about equal. Ingram looks to have more short area burst while TR has the top end speed, but both are close. Just based on watching every game they ever played in, I'd give Richardson an A, and Ingram an A-minus. Richardson looks to have a bit better vision, but thats close as well.

Why one went 3rd and the other 28th I can't explain. Ingram was mocked by most experts at around pick 15 so he certainly slipped.

Upshaw slipping really surprised me. I know he's a bit of a tweener but I still expected mid-first.
