Spoke to new #Saints Sunseri and Powell. Both seemed very fired up - esp. Sunseri, who admitted emotions on high. ... |

Re: Day 3 NFL Live Draft Thread
Finally back from my errands.
I really like Powell. He was an elite recruit coming out of high school. I think Ryan may be able to polish that diamond. I like the Sunseri pick as well. Can't say I know much if anything about our 4th round pick. That said, I like how our draft has played out. |
Re: Day 3 NFL Live Draft Thread
I still feel that if we had been patient, Cooks would have fallen to us at 27 & we would have had our 3rd round pick. I think that messed us up.

Re: Day 3 NFL Live Draft Thread
I wonder if we were targeting the player that Aintlanta jumped ahead of us for? If not then we made them waste a pick.:bng:

Re: Day 3 NFL Live Draft Thread
Let's just give these picks back and start over. Loomis had to be sleep and the replacement gm came in and made these picks. Two IR picks and one player that won't make it pass day 1 of cuts
|
Re: Day 3 NFL Live Draft Thread
Eagles would have taken him. He wouldn't have made it there.

Alfred Blue gets picked! He got caught up in a numbers game at LSU after his injury. Good back and has some Joseph Addai in him.

I like the pick, he'll be a good one if he can stay healthy. |

That's because Cooks was the last of the 1st round talents. I'm absolutely certain that Philly as Papz mentioned would have taken him. Or SF traded up to get him. The saints knew something. |
Re: Day 3 NFL Live Draft Thread
Ronald Powell is a pro bowl caliber player if he stays healthy.
|
Re: Day 3 NFL Live Draft Thread
say what you want but going getting him was not a bad call at all... If he is your guy you go get him.
|
Re: Day 3 NFL Live Draft Thread
Yeah SF was definitely considering trading up for a receiver. Cooks would not have been there and Matthews wouldnt have been available in rd 2 when we picked either.
|
Re: Day 3 NFL Live Draft Thread
Well, I was wrong, Carolina took one at 28

Re: Day 3 NFL Live Draft Thread
The idea that Cooks would have fell to 27 because no other WRs were selected is incredibly naive.

Re: Day 3 NFL Live Draft Thread
OVERVIEW
Consensus No. 1 defensive end recruit in the nation coming out of California. Played all 13 games as a true freshman in 2010 (one start at strong-side linebacker) and tallied 26 tackles, three for loss and a sack with two pass breakups. Started 12 games at the Buck (hybrid defensive end/linebacker) in '11 and totaled 32-9-6 with a forced fumble. Suffered an upper-body injury against LSU and sat out against Auburn. Sat out the '12 season when he tore his left ACL twice. Started 8-of-11 games played in '13 -- six at the Buck, two at Sam -- and managed 26-7-4. Did not start against Tennessee, then sprained his ankle against LSU, which kept him out of the Missouri contest and kept him out of the starting lineup against Georgia and Vanderbilt. Strained his left hamstring running the 40-yard dash at the NFL Scouting Combine and did not participate in drills or run shuttles and the 3-cone drill. ANALYSIS STRENGTHS Looks the part -- well-proportioned, athletic, muscular build. Natural bender. Terrific agility. Can stunt and loop. Closes fast. Flashes strong hands and power potential. Loose hips to zone drop. Was deployed as a stand-up linebacker and hand-in-the-dirt rush end. Has untapped potential. WEAKNESSES Inconsistent get-off. Average eyes and instincts -- has to see it before he triggers. Shoddy edge setter. Plays short-armed, gets locked up and allows linemen to capture his outside shoulder. Aimless, unrefined pass rusher. Intensity and urgency leave something to be desired. Has coasted on natural talent. Had his tires pumped since high school -- entitlement was an issue as a young player and his personality could rub some people the wrong way. Injury history. DRAFT PROJECTION Rounds 3-4 BOTTOM LINE Powell is a physically gifted, inconsistent, college Buck 'backer with crude strength and athleticism. Has developmental value as a stand-up rush linebacker, but must dedicate himself to the craft and realize he's no longer the big man on campus. |

Was Aaron Colvin drafted, I've been watching the draft but don't remember seeing his name.

I like Larsen, but I wonder if OT might be the better move.
