Dontae Johnson compares to Keenan Lewis, so that's a good candidate for the Black and Gold...

I have watched a couple of games of NC state he has always made an impression. I came away thinking he would make a nice addition to the saints 3 safety sets. FS maybe the best way to see the kid with the ability to play in the nickle and dime packages. interesting prospect with IMO a solid upside.

now the other two i saw a bit of

Brandon Dixon NW Missouri St CB/FS 5111 202 4.35?
tough and aggressive

Jonathan Dowling Western Kentucky 6022 FS/SS 198 4.42
Western Kentucky's Jonathan Dowling says he will enter draft - NFL.com




solid division II players in their own right. it will be interesting to see these two measure out. these two are on my watch list for 6/7 round steals in the draft

quality players at a cheap price is always a good thing

we need the next Colston type of pick in a bad way.

Verret has the mechanics to be another Brent Grimes type corner.

hagan714

among the CB in the draft (that might be on the board) he had all the right catch phrases
Very feisty
Outstanding instincts,
Superb reactive quickness and recovery speed,
Very good ball skills,
Very willing in run support

What i missed was his tackling skills are solid. none of the other CB can sting together a list like that. plus measuring in at under 5'11" makes him prime to drop no matter his 40 time and drills.

as for other positions i think we need to have a player fall into our laps or we believe in some of the hyped players.

either way i think i played it safe and accepted the fact that any player i really like will probably not end up with the saints for whatever reason so i did not draft them.

my draft involves trading the first and Ingram. possibly adding in Grahmbut thats a hornets nest i will poke at later

I have a major man crush on Verrett. Everything about him screams shut-down corner. With Lewis, Verrett, White and a healthy Robinson nobody would be able to throw on us.

Trai Turner, 6'3, 310lb, 4.84 40, OG

I'm very big on he and Dozier. I hope we draft one of them.

jeanpierre

Not so much on Turner because of questions of his work ethic/weight mgt, but I'm definitely with you on Dozier - and I mean, what's not to like about a Guard name Dozier?!?

I see a lot of people and websites mocking us Dee Ford from Auburn. Would we like that pick? He good?

Also - I agree with the above posters saying Jason Verrett is a beast. I would love that pick.
