With the 58th pick in the draft, the Saints select Stanley Jean-Baptiste

Would have preferred Pierre Desir or Phillip Gaines if they were going to draft a CB. I think they are more ready than Jean-Baptiste... although Jean-Baptiste probably has more upside.

We don't need to throw him out there on day one. Let him learn under Ryan and he'll be a monster.

I'm stoked

This is a great pick and he was taken with an eye towards 2015. I would surmise his playing time is going to depend on what they do with Patrick Robinson. If Robinson stays on the team, I wouldn't be surprised to see Mr. Jean-Baptiste develop an injury before the season and being stashed on IR. But now we have 3 Corners 6 ft or taller.

The New Orleans Saints selected Nebraska cornerback Stanley Jean-Baptiste with their second round pick (No. 58 overall) in the 2014 NFL draft.

The 6-3, 218 pound defensive back was considered a first round talent by some analysts. He ran a 4.55 40-yard dash at the 2014 NFL Combine.

With many teams following in the wake of the Seattle Seahawks and looking for bigger cornerbacks, Jean-Baptiste fits the mold. He has several inches on the 5-11 Jabari Greer, who was released in the offseason.

That'll certainly help them keep up another trend in the NFC South--big tight ends and wide receivers.

The Carolina Panthers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers have recently added tall additions to their offense. The Buccaneers drafted 6-5, 231 pound receiver Mike Evans and 6-5, 262 pound tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins to pair with 6-5, 230 pound receiver Vincent Jackson.

The Panthers drafted 6-5, 243 pound receiver Kelvin Benjamin.

Yeah not feeling good about that pick.

saintsfan1976 · 05-09-2014, 09:35 PM

Definitely a wait and see player.

Looks the part. Needs development.

Who better to emulate than a future HOF CB with mad press cover skills?

upside is over-rated.

	Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the privilege. All little common sense goes a long way.
