After seeing the video, I wouldn't be upset at all if he was pick #27.

Junior Galette is better. We don't need to burn a 1st round pick on a situational pass rusher. Nobody thought he was anything special until the end of his college career... I'm not buying the hype. I'd rather reach in the 1st round for Van Noy or Attaochu. Dee Ford has speed but that's it. No ability to stop the run.

I'd love that pick. Probably better options, but he's gonna be a good player

Bruce Irving 2.0 one trick pony. I like Shazier better sideline to sideline speed and cover ability like Lavonte David.

I like several players better, but I can live with the Ford pick all day.

if small and fast is the direction the saints go then i have to go with Shazier

he can play OLB and ILB and drop into coverage. flexibility always wins IMO

I don't really like the size of eith Noy or Shazier myself. We need to be more stout against the run and neither have the size to do that imo.

Dee seems to be falling a bit. Might be there in the second rd.

I gotta disagree. Noy is 6-3 243, thats plenty big in todays NFL.

Shazier has OK size, but as experts have pointed out his frame looks to be maxed out. He's not getting any bigger.

My personal favorite is CJ Mosley.

I think Noy could be ok inside but not when we shift to a front 4 with 3 safties, he would get battered in the run imo. If he is there in the 2nd fine but he is no 1st rounder imo
