Okay, Hagan's got me crushing on Barrett Jones now, so it's...

Looking like an all-weekend Canal St/Magazine St/Bourbon St Tag and Release Weekend to offset the man-crush on two prospects, Ogletree and Jones, I really want to see the Saints get in their abbreviated draft...

Barrett Jones I still think a player of his skills is hard to over look.

Solid OG
He then started all 14 contests at right guard as a redshirt freshman for Nick Saban's first BCS champion Tide squad in 2009.

Above average LOT
Jones made the rare switch from right guard to left tackle in 2011 to replace James Carpenter, a first-round pick of the Seattle Seahawks. He handled the transition so well (while also playing left guard, right tackle and center at times) for the Bowl Championship Series champions that he received the Outland Trophy as the nation’s best “interior lineman” as well as the SEC’s Jacob Blocking Trophy, given to the league’s best lineman.

Solid OC
His final year on campus featured another move, this time to the center position. He capped the year off with another consensus selection to the All-American and All-SEC teams, as well as winning the Rimington Trophy (awarded to the nation’s top center)

Off the Feild
He also possesses the intelligence and high character NFL offensive line coaches desire in their prospects, finishing his degree in accounting in just three years, and won the Wuerffel Trophy for his play on the field and work in the academic and community service worlds.

Power and finesses is there. he has starting RT written all over him for years to come. Most people think he is only a OC/OG i dont think so.

Pro Bowls? very possible. College awards are there

injury history
Shoulder his Freshman year
dreaded lis franc injury limiting his mobility over the second half of the season.
Warning this is not a minor injury. this is my major concern on him. This kind of injury has a habit of resurfacing over and over. serious nagging injury, medical evals are key.

if he falls to the third you have to take him. i have actually seen his name in the third now. IMO no way does he fall that far. if the Saints end up with a second rounder they have to really look at him as an option
