2014 NFL Draft

hagan714 · 12-17-2013, 07:21 PM

the saints always get a player or two that they take two years or so to develope. My vote goes to

Stanley Jean-Baptiste CB/WR/S Nebraska

others over looked or being dissed

Aaron Colvin, CB, Oklahoma
Here is a player that has taking a beating and i think maybe a steal at the bottom of round 2. the talent and skills are there.

Ty Zimmerman, FS Kansas State is a prospect worth looking at on day 3. smart tackling machine.

Brian Blechen, SS/OLB Utah
another solid day 2/3 prospect. size of a OLB and speed of a SS

Trevor Reilly OLB/SS Utah
what a nice problem to have in Utah. here is a sky maybe limit prospect

Jr i am waiting on are
Trey DePriest ILB Bama
Ed Reynolds, S (Stanford)
Cody Hoffman, WR, BYU
Ty Montgomery WR/KR Stanford

I still think we should move forward with Terron Armstead as LT. He has all-world potential. All he needed was some time to bulk up and gain weight. He's been in our system for a year now, that should be enough time. He should start next year.

If Ha'sean Clinton-Dix is available at our pick, we should absolutely pull the trigger on him imo. Him and Vaccaro would be a SICK duo. If he's gone though, I want an OLB. Kyle Van Noy out of BYU, specifically. He excels in pass coverage which is something none of our current OLBs can say. Heck, honestly, I think it would be a great idea if we take Van Noy transition him to ILB, replacing Lofton.

It is amazing what the Saints record is after seeing all these holes in the team. Imagine what Drew could do with a team with talent like Seattle, maybe if Drew could spare a few dollars we could have talent like that.

We should get Kromer to come back and ask him to pick OL in every round.

Leo, actually he was just drafted this April, sp he's only had the OTC/Training Camp and this partial season to learn, but I agree that you draft 'em and play 'em to see if they're the goods; let the youth and energy offset the rookie mistakes and inexperience will fade with more playing time...

They're are as big an impact free safeties that will be available in rounds two and three, I really would like to grab a ready to geaux offensive tackle or freak linebacker with that first round pick...Van Noy will probably not fit into future plans for this defense and he'll be gone by the time we pick at 32...

Haha, good point on Armstead. Although I was more or less talking about a "football year" than an actual 12 months. He's had OTAs and this whole season, and will also have OTAs next year.

Are there any other safeties besides Clinton-Dix that are starter potential? I haven't really done my research on that position, I just know Clinton-Dix because he's supposed to be a first rounder. Who are some other free safeties I should keep my eye on?

1. Armstead had been on injury list for awhile. Not sure how ready he is at this point. Plus Brown beat him out. Ugh.

2. Clinton-Dix will never slide to our spot unless we do the impossible and miss the playoffs.

Clinton-Dix is currently slotted at 35 on NFLDraftScout. Its possible.

He is at 30 but the first FS overall. He won't last past the early 20s unless he blows his combine workouts. NFLDraftScout also mocks him at 17 and 24 so far.
