Re: 2013 NFL Draft - Saints Big Board
 

Toilolo didn't have an impressive Bench Press - makes me wonder about his work ethic as an athlete...

We no longer have a seventh rounder so he's a sixth rounder for us or bust...

Re: 2013 NFL Draft - Saints Big Board
 

It's not uncommon for people with long arms to struggle with the bench press. I wouldn't use that as a main barometer to gauge his work ethic.

Re: 2013 NFL Draft - Saints Big Board
 

Caught some of the combine re-run today.

Matt Furstenburg, TE, Maryland

He's looking like a nice late round prospect... definitely earned himself a right to get drafted. Pretty good combine.

Tyler Eifert(TE, Notre Dame) looks really smooth. Someone is going to get themselves one heck of a prospect. I can see what the hype is all about.

Re: 2013 NFL Draft - Saints Big Board
 

Understand the long arm struggle - but there have been other flags in articles that reinforces the idea he hasn't really focused on developing his talent to be a special player...

Re: 2013 NFL Draft - Saints Big Board
 

i would hate to see the saints come out of this draft without a TE and at the least 1 OT. its to deep this year

Re: 2013 NFL Draft - Saints Big Board
 

Dion Jordan weighed in at 248lbs at the combine today. i like that.

Re: 2013 NFL Draft - Saints Big Board
 

250 lbs sounds about right, thankfully it wasn't lower than that.

Re: 2013 NFL Draft - Saints Big Board
 

Welcome to the top 15 Dion.

230 lbs scared me. He now only needs to add about 10 lbs.

Re: 2013 NFL Draft - Saints Big Board
 

Look for that weight to come back down.

Re: 2013 NFL Draft - Saints Big Board
 

so many players including Jordan need to check out medically.

what i love is all the Alabama OL so far have brought up questions that sport writers saying hurt their ratings. LMAO i am back to what was said in the early part of the year.

Barrett Jones is the man.

Re: 2013 NFL Draft - Saints Big Board
 

That's a pick that would be hard to argue about. What would we do between the draft and the start of preseason then?

Re: 2013 NFL Draft - Saints Big Board
 

Really? Wow. I was thinking more like 230. He is 'biggest' slim guy DE in this years draft (lol).

Re: 2013 NFL Draft - Saints Big Board
 

Jordan ran a 4.53 at the Combine, thats FAST as hell.
Ansah ran a 4.62 which isn't all to shabby either.

Re: 2013 NFL Draft - Saints Big Board
 

That shoulder issue sounds worrying though.
Hasnt been able to go into the weight room and had the issue over a year.

Re: 2013 NFL Draft - Saints Big Board
 

Apparently Payton is interested in Dion Jordan, just had him on tv with binoculars watching his second 40 dash.

4.64

And Corey Lemonier

2nd 40 = 4.53

Some real athletic talent these days.
Really annoyed we don't have a second rounder.Would have loved
1st Jordan/Ansah, 2nd Hunt

Re: 2013 NFL Draft - Saints Big Board
 

I'd be happy with either Jordan or Ansah in the 1st, as long as the selection is a step in improving the defense I'll be happy

Re: 2013 NFL Draft - Saints Big Board
 

People are now saying both Jordan and Ansah will go between 6-10. Lots of chatter Sharrif Floyd is going to be a top 5 pick. That leaves us waiting for Mingo's numbers. And what was seemingly not likely before, Damontre Moore and Jarvis Jones may join the conversation at 15.

Everyone is looking for the next pass rushing superstar.

Damontre Moore managed 12 reps on the weights.That's disgraceful for 250lb lineman.

Re: 2013 NFL Draft - Saints Big Board
 

LSU DE/OLB Barkevious Mingo ran a pair of unofficial 4.53 forties, with a 1.55 10 yard split, at the NFL Combine.

Mingo showed a lot of burst and build up speed throughout the straight-line run. We expect him to test well throughout the day, and the LSU Tiger likely projects as a pass rushing outside linebacker.

Just as most expected, all 3 of Mingo/Jordan/Ansah put up eye popping numbers.

Re: 2013 NFL Draft - Saints Big Board
 

Agreed. That said, his game tape speaks volumes. The weight training issues can be easily fixed.

Re: 2013 NFL Draft - Saints Big Board
 

Is Margus Hunt a first round talent?

He moved pretty well for a 280 lbs. guy...

He was a third/fourth rounder in December.Now beings mocked late first,early second.

Re: 2013 NFL Draft - Saints Big Board
 

Mayock seems to think he is strong enough to play as a 3-4 DE, with his speed he could play OLB as well I think...

Hell; Ryan could even move him inside when he goes with his 4-3 personnel formations...

His stock has been rising since December.He is a amazing athlete and his 14 blocked kicks in 3 years shows that.People now saying he could be another JJ Watt.If we could draft down and get a late first,early-mid second we could potentially get him and another good player.Dont think many teams are going to be moving up though.

Re: 2013 NFL Draft - Saints Big Board
 

JJ Watts was exactly who I was thinking of too just when I saw him run today. Same size and frame.

Re: 2013 NFL Draft - Saints Big Board
 

With all the defensive talent in this years draft; do we go D-Line or OLB in the first round?

Re: 2013 NFL Draft - Saints Big Board
 

Watching this LB drills, I have to say Ogletree is not impressing. I think he's going to swallowed up at the second level and I think he's going to have trouble shedding blockers. I think he's better suited outside honestly... at the same time, he doesn't look like the type fits what we need for a passing rushing LB.

His teammate Cornelius Washington looks like a freak. Wow. Give Washington Ogletree's senior production and you're talking about a first round pick easily.

Re: 2013 NFL Draft - Saints Big Board
 

Ogletree can play inside or outside at linebacker...

Re: 2013 NFL Draft - Saints Big Board
 

So if he is a freak the question becomes why didn't he produce like one?

Re: 2013 NFL Draft - Saints Big Board
 

Well, there's this conspiracy theory floating around - in my head - according to which Ogletree is trying to tank his draft worth, so that the Saints can pick him up with their 3rd round pick.

Re: 2013 NFL Draft - Saints Big Board
 

Cornelius Washington - third-down specialist in college

Drive and heart to play is the big "?" on him. take a flier on him and see if you can jump start his desire would be the thing. the upside is there without a doubt. personal interviews are going to be key for him i would think

the kid blew every one away at the senior bowl too.

on last question could Georgia's coaching staff be to blame here? there are a lot ways to put a player in the dog house.

Or was it do to playing a variety of roles in Georgia's 3-4 defense

see what i mean ???????????????????? they need to be answered

Re: 2013 NFL Draft - Saints Big Board
 

I can't even try to answer that question. Athletically speaking, this kid should have dominated college football. For whatever reason, he didn't. His tools will make you drool... should be an interesting project for someone.

Re: 2013 NFL Draft - Saints Big Board
 

He actually did, when he was suspended from the team this year...

He just needs some Big Daddy Saints to tighten him up and get hims straight, that's all...

Re: 2013 NFL Draft - Saints Big Board
 

2013 Saint's Draft Mock (JeanPierre)

R1 LB Alec Ogletree, Georgia

R3 OT Terron Armstead, Arkansas Pine-Bluff

R4 DE Devin Taylor, South Carolina

R5 NT T.J. Barnes, Georgia Tech

6R LB Ty Powell, Harding

Really Would like to see a Safety to replace Harper and with Malcolm Jenkin's upcoming salary hit...

Re: 2013 NFL Draft - Saints Big Board
 

Reid from LSU?

Re: 2013 NFL Draft - Saints Big Board
 

Smash, I agree on Reid but he'll be gone way before the Saints 3rd round pick. Curse you damn dirty Roger, curse you

Re: 2013 NFL Draft - Saints Big Board
 

What are you referring to?

Jenkins' re-signing?

:confused:

Re: 2013 NFL Draft - Saints Big Board
 

mea culpa...

First, Jenkins will have an 11mil cap hit next season...

Second, I know this will fire the Harper/Crimson Camp up, but Harper blows...and so does Harper's coverage and tackling - he's like a Corvette that runs outta gas trying to beat a Pacer in the quarter mile but, oh, he can win the light duty class in a tractor pull...

The sacks are fine but I would rather my DB be best at Passes Defensed, Interceptions, and Forced Fumble Jarring Hits...and be paid commensurate to what he brings the team...Harper at the least should be a salary dump...

...So that's why I say we need to add Safety Prospects soon...
