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

papz · 05-09-2014, 08:33 PM

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.

Reactionary pick? honest question

Of all the Cb listed it is all about upside. plus without a doubt he has the best hands of any of the CB left in the draft. there will be times you will be scream at your TV but lets see what happens down the road. only 2 1/2 years playing defense. kid has a lot to learn. first thing on the punch list is to be more aggressive.

Yeah not feeling good about that pick.

saintsfan1976 · 05-09-2014, 08:35 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?

Euphoria · 05-09-2014, 08:39 PM

upside is over-rated.

Please... This team has drafted more upside than 90% the league. Successfully, I may add.

Naw. We were going to draft a corner regardless of what the other guys in our division did imo. P-Rob is in the last year of his deal and Champ is no spring chicken.

Payton: Jean-Baptiste can play press man, and that'll help with the big pass-catchers suddenly in the NFC South.

Payton said #Saints also high on Jean-Baptiste's ball skills. ... Said highest rated prospect, not just CB. #NOpick

Nice pick. I guess center next. I assume we move up into the third.
