Huge boom or bust guy. Great potential if he can stay healthy. How can you not like that? Welcome Mr. Fortt!

Khairi Fortt was originally a Penn St linebacker who transferred to Cal after the Paterno thing.

He has injury issues, but he's good when healthy. I like the pick

I like what I see and read so far.

Looks like a good fit for the SAM and/or the WILB

Fortt is a Special Teams pick, I'm thinking. One of the stronger LB'ers at the Combine, too.

even got hurt at the combine, with our conditioning crew this is a BAD pick.

Walter thinks otherwise:

New Orleans Saints: Khairi Fortt, ILB, California: B Grade
This is a solid pick. I thought Khairi Fortt would be chosen around this range, and he also fills a need for the Saints. David Hawthorne hasn't played well for them over the past couple of seasons, so it's possible that Fortt could step in as the starter in 2015.

How about using our extra 5th rounder to trade back into the 4th for a guy like Yankey?

Ramon Antonio Vargas ‏@RVargasAdvocate 20s
...Sat out 12, in '13, started in 9 games. Missed time at end of season with biceps injury. Nonetheless, a Butkus Award semifinalist (more)

Fortt is the 15th rated OLB by 2014 NFL Draft - CBSSports.com - NFLDraftScout.com . Strengths are range, pass coverage. He's essentially a poor man's Ryan Shazier.

Ramon Antonio Vargas ‏@RVargasAdvocate 2m
Man, per NFL.com - Official Site of the National Football League , Fortt tore his ACL in 9th grade but it wasn't an issue until his first year at Cal after transfer in '12...

Not sure with this at all

	"Two receivers to the left, Garcon to the right. Manning in the shotgun, puts Collie in motion. Looks in his direction...it's picked off! It's picked off! It's Tracy Porter again! He's runnin' free! He's gonna go all the way!
