2014 NFL Draft

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; What kind of liability is involved in that situation?!? Wonder if his agent purchased insurance to protect his prospective investment......

None. He went of his own free will and presumably has health insurance.

Similar to all the hamstring pulls at the NFL Combine. There is understood and inherent risk in tryouts. Unless the big screen fell on him, or he tripped over Ryan's hair.

@Gil_Brandt: WR Allen Robinson having big day at #PennState pro day. 42 VJ, 11 BJ, sub-4.5 40. Stock will be up after today. #NFLDraft

You lost me when you posted Gil Brandt...

Gil Brandt still insists Tony Mandarich was not a good fit in the Packers offense...

Re: 2014 NFL Draft

That kind of size and length with speed in the 4.4's, wow! And he has some polish as a WR. Sounds a LOT like Colston a few years ago, minus the small-school mystery. Our offense could turn him into a superstar.

Exactly... Ive been beating the table for this guy, now im worried our chances of landing him in 1 or 2 are getting alot thinner as his stock will definitely be on the rise. Tomlin and chip kelly were in attendance but no word on who else at this time. Hopefully the saints had someone there

doubt #1 answered. Pro day weight 208 down 12 pounds from his combine weight

solid No. 2 option? upside is there and i give the kid credit for hanging in at Penn ST. after all the crap went down.

he now is in the mix with Lee and Benjamin now.

i would take him over Benjamin all day long.

IMO Robinson is more polished as a WR at this point. Lee has that JR year of stardom followed by a senior year of poor QB play. he should have come out last year.

I like the maturity and the mental toughness he showed at Penn St. on and off the field.

i could live with the pick.

Then again his pro day may get him drafted ahead of us and increase the chance of a nice player dropping into our laps. so i look at the pro day as a win win for the saints.

record number of WR taken in the first round this year? maybe

Aah theres my guy hagan, yesir... Seemed to answer all questions at his pro day.

I think he has number 1 written all over him..eventually. But to have him step in and be no. 2 and let kenny play the slot makes all the sense in the world at this point.

I agree with everything you said 100%, although i do like kelvin if he gets more consistent hands i would take allen over both lee and benjamin. I've watched lee a few times and put on the tape again once it was reported he was visiting, but i cant seem to get excited about him. Its not like allen's QB was any better and he faced the same situation as lee with mcgloin/barkley leaving school for the pros but Allen's production went way up even battling his own injuries and i felt the talent was better at USC.

Was reading an article about Allen Robinson being this years's Keenan Allen, flying under the radar. Pretty good read and tend to agree.

Yesir, win win for the saints at this point, guess its all on how you view it. Could definitely see that happening with WR's, all depends on how the board is layed out. Good stuff
