Two names from CBS Sports Mock

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; Dion Jordan is 6-6 243, thats awfully light for a 3-4 DE/OLB. It'll be interesting to see what his real height/weight are at the combine. Currently NFLDraftScout.com has him ranked 26th overall and the 7th best DE. I'm not all ...

I'm not all that excited about him at all.

Re: Two names from CBS Sports Mock

Chandler Jones, is the guy we wouldve taken had we had first round pick last year....... He is a beast for the Pats, and he's just scratching the surface.

..... If these are the 2 candidates, I'm throwin my hat in the Jordan ring. I just don't think Ansah is first round material after his Senior Bowl performances...... Not that he won't be good, I think it may take him more than a season to develop into being good.

I hear what you're saying. Personally, I don't get anything out of the Senior Bowl, and stopped watching it years ago. Practice is practice, and the game itself is just a mess, as are all exhibition games. I take only what I see from real games with these guys. With that in mind, I see Ansah as being closer to a finished product than Jordan, and better size. Considering Jordan has a lot more years of playing football than Ansah does, I think Dion should be way ahead by now, but isn't. That is kind of my thinking if it came down to these two players.

It's not that I would see Jordan as a bad pick, but I think he's more of a project.

If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.

Re: Two names from CBS Sports Mock

Too many needs at offensive tackle and on defense and little wiggle room with the salary cap; we've got to get younger and faster...

Trade back and gain either a second or third round pick...

Re: Two names from CBS Sports Mock

Jordan seems to be another tweener with health concerns. He could be a real prize later in the draft. Ansah is a good prospect, but developmental. Is that what we want from our first rounder?
Personally, I want an immediate impact player not another project!
