I think he's a low risk-high reward at this point in the draft.
Since we now have a Cook, "Cook Black Mamba" might be a very deadly dish to serve opposing defenses. Put those two on the field at the same time? It would be like two cockroaches on crack for the defense to catch. yeah get them tall DB and turn these two loose lmao. watch those jock straps flying all over the field as defenders get faked out of them.

The kid is an excellent WR also. the biggest plus is he is the top return man in the country, watching him returning kicks and punts is a thing of beauty. he has it done to an art at the college level. at first i said pass dude is so small but as i watched more and more of the guy the more i like him.

all he needs is a well almost nothing


then the stop and go acceleration

the whole package

Re: Day Three: Wish list

Another SS with CB speed that hits like a ton of bricks and that is why he is a SS and not a FS. Not like the skill set aint there. hands are above average

Ahmad Dixon Baylor 600 212 4.38
shuttle 4.39
cones 7.28

pro day for the stars. x basketball player turned safety. 32 vert. needs coaching up on tackling and recognition but if the football IQ is there he might be worth a shoot.

general overall take on the kid
Excellent size/speed athlete with the fluidity and natural speed to cover the entire field, making plays behind the line of scrimmage and in the deep half of the field. Works hard to shed blocks to make open-field stops and is a physical tackler. He is confident in coverage to jump routes and aggressively go after the ball

another DB with a high ceiling instant impact on special teams

I know we don't need another corner but those Florida corners are very talented. I still like Dozier as well.

Re: Day Three: Wish list

We wont take another DB in the draft, we have too many already.

Need to address C and OLB.

Re: Day Three: Wish list

Never have enough good DB, never. especially ones that can play Safety and can drop in an play some CB.

Re: Day Three: Wish list

Would like to see them pick a center, but honestly, I think they have something up their sleeve there. Things have been awfully quiet on the Jonathan Goodwin front lately. Not just with him visiting the Saints, but with him apparently visiting NOBODY ELSE that I can see. It's almost like I think they met, and Payton and Loomis winked at Goodwin, put their hand up to their face with thumb and pinkie, and mouthed "I'm a call you" to his agent, and everybody agreed to sit tight. Would not be surprised if there was a handshake or unspoken deal in place, to sign Goodwin Sunday or Monday if a particular center that they like, doesn't fall right into their lap in the draft. If I'm Goodwin, at this stage in his career, for that opportunity to come home to the Saints, I'd certainly agree to kick back on the couch and wait a few days.

Agreed...
Lewis
Bailey
Jean-Baptiste
White
Robinson
Sweeting
Brooks (the CFL stud)
Wade
Frederick
Davis

If we can't field a baddass group of CB's from that list, someone should be fired.
