Triman, you may be right...

One name to know is WR Brandon Coleman, Rutgers ;Height: 6-6, Weight: 220 lbs.

He's a bubble guy who can move up based on his Combine experience...

Another guy with some question marks is WR L'Damian Washington, Missouri; Height: 6-4, Weight: 205 lbs. who runs a sub 4.4 40, but has poor route discipline and catches the ball with his body too much...

Coach Payton doesn't mine sacrificing a little speed for bigger receivers who can muscle over smaller defensive backs...

Washington would require some extra coaching effort, but could really turn into a special talent...

And he'd be comparable to a Devery Henderson...

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

I really like Brandon Thomas, though he's projecting as a Guard, he did play some Tackle at the Senior Bowl - he'll definitely geaux by the mid fourth round, with a strong combine and the right interviews, he could geaux in the third round; he got into some trouble early while in school, but looks to be just a nasty offensive lineman...

Pass on anything slow out of Ohio State; State and Bama showed us all what Ohio State is, second place bridesmaids, so I pass...

I expect Loston to slide, but that's brutal

We'll have either a Right Tackle or Center, maybe both, by the time we're done in the third round...

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

I'm down on Loston ... just didn't seem to have an eye for the ball. At least this past season.

They really should make them run the 40 in a uniform (helmet, pads)...

Some guys aren't as fast with the pads on...

If you want to see a fast LB - look for Howard Jones out of Shepherd Univ (WV); I'm curious to see if he validates NFL Draft Scouts Posted 40 Time...

Shazier is extremely fast, with or without pads. I'm a Michigan Wolverines fan so naturally I watched a lot of Ohio St as well haha. Shazier is a good player.

Re: 2014 NFL Draft

Pre Combine Mock

Round 1

Jason Verrett CB TCU 5095 176

Just what the Saints defense needs. A nickle back out of the gate that can stay with those slots WR and bail out the ILB. Lets see catch phrases Very feisty Outstanding instincts, Superb reactive quickness and recovery speed, Very good ball skills, Very willing in run support




my guts say SP goes
Odell Beckham, Jr.*, WR, LSU

Round 2

Jack Mewhort ROT/OG/LS Ohio St. 6060 306

Pass Blocking? He definitely excels and looks natural. Run Blocking? Needs work. But he has starter-caliber strength, athleticism and technique supplemented with desirable intangibles. Versatility is a huge plus

Jack Mewhort | Draft Breakdown



Round 3

James White RB Wisconsin 5090 206 4.42

Saints start to groom PT replacement



Round 4

Josh Mauro, DE/DT Stanford 6054 276 4.98

his size, strength and toughness could make him a dependable five-technique defensive end in a 34



Round 5

Howard Jones OLB/ILB Shepard 6022 229 4.54

FootballCEO found yet another gem i have to include. He looks to have outstanding instincts, Superb reactive quickness, good ball skills and appears to have excellent football IQ. plus he lines up all over the place. I am thinking starting off depth to groom but a 3rd and long specialist at ILB is were he might break into the line up. special teams day one.

6th

gotta a list of them. lol the one i want to see more of is

Brandon Dixon NW Missouri St CB/FS 5112 204 4.35?

Solid unsung Div ll CB with what maybe the fastest CB in the draft. that will soon be answered. Has a good skill and plays a very physical style. Needs to be coached up. Interviews will be key for kid
