2013 NFL Draft - Saints Big Board

[NuNu318]

So here's my question....since we're going 3-4 and focus probably will be NT best example of the prototypical NT you want to have is Haloti Ngata. Out of the guys on the board for the draft....which one is, or potentially is, the closest to a Ngata type talent? Just trying to get some opinions cuz I dodn't watch that much College football last year.

And whats odd is Ngata now plays DE in the Ravens 3-4, not NT.

He has in past years, but like Danno said, he now lines up at the DE position.

But it could be because he has played all season with a leg injury, so that could be why the coaches saw him as more productive in the DE position rather than as the anchor man in the middle?!
