33 3/8" ????????????? dam it! trade up? lol

good news

Collins 33 1/4

Fisher 33 3/4 more importantly came in at 306 pounds

Re: 2015 draft??
 

He'd overspend, barely put up a fight in negotiations, and have even more fanbases like that in Buffalo laughing at us for signing their broke-back players...

Re: 2015 draft??
 

Scherff is the guy I'd want in the first round; and he's got that nasty demeanor you want back in our offensive linemen...

After that I'd wait till the third and take Donovan Smith from Penn State - he had a "here I am" display at Mobile Senior Bowl Week...

Re: 2015 draft??
 

So Vic Beasley weighed in at 246... That's fantastic considering most had him in the 220's. That's gonna calm a lot of concern about him.

Re: 2015 draft??
 

I always suspect at players putting on and loosing weight for combine. Can Beasley keep that weight on while training full time and can move at that weight in pads

Re: 2015 draft??
 

Donovan Smith and Jake Fisher both are looking good. Smith has the upside and Fisher has the polish.

Re: 2015 draft??
 

Smith said in interviews he loved the idea of playing for the Saints and that the vets would be able to teach him what he needs to learn

Re: 2015 draft??
 

He has to show that it is functional weight.

Re: 2015 draft??
 

I want Collins. He will be an All Pro.

Re: 2015 draft??
 

Brandon Scherff performed 23 reps of 225 lbs bench press...

Honestly, am disappointed in that Brandon is known for his upper body strength...

Still like him as a first round selection, but am a tad concerned...

On the other hand, OL Ali Marpet, Hobart College, is having a combine display for the ages...

Re: 2015 draft??
 

LSU OL La'el Collins or Roll Tide SS Landon Collins?

Re: 2015 draft??
 

I'm talking about OL La'el didn't even know about Landon

Re: 2015 draft??
 

Speaking of the draft, with the NFL being a passing league now, I really wouldn't mind the Saints drafting Melvin Gordon or a back with similar skills in the mid rounds of the draft if and only if they go defense or offensive line in the 1st round

Re: 2015 draft??
 

I think I'm almost officially all in on Vic Beasley. I still want to see how he performs in drills at this heavier weight but he's looking incredible so far. For a guy that most thought was small and not very strong he's shattering expectations.

Re: 2015 draft??
 

Jeremy Langford, RB, Michigan State: 4.42 seconds dam so much for a 5th round steal. :brood:

A "committee back" with an ability to play on third downs. reliability in pass protection, the screen game and also the ability to get stronger and better as the game goes on.

That sums him up and now the secret is out. my fav day 3 steal at RB looks to be making himself money.

If Ingram does not sign would you take him in the third? hmmmmm i am strongly considering it.

that 4.42 puts him in my top 3 of backs. i was like everyone else wondering about his speed. he moves ahead of all the might mouse scat backs. just talked him into the second round. :bugeyes:

he is clearly the best all around back in the draft.

a back Drew would love to add.

Re: 2015 draft??
 

Amari Cooper - is scary smooth.

gotta do some digging
Darren Waller - Chris Conley

Rannell Hall 4.60 disappointing. solid shuttle and cones though so pro day is huge

OG Jarvis Harrison Texas A&M impressed me to go back and look at him. motor issue? work ethic? scheme? talent is there. 330 lbs OG should not move this good

Re: 2015 draft??
 

Still weak against the run, I'd expect

Re: 2015 draft??
 

Gotta tell ya, these "measurables" coming out of the combine for linebackers are disturbing...

Re: 2015 draft??
 

Nobody wants to hear this, but we f***ed up winning that Tampa game...

Re: 2015 draft??
 

There's no need for another safety.

Re: 2015 draft??
 

Jordan Hicks OLB, mid round:
40: 4,65
10-yd split:1,53

Re: 2015 draft??
 

Perryman 40: 4,81
benardrick mckinney 40: 4,78
Shaq Thompson 40: 4,72

Re: 2015 draft??
 

Very disappointing for Thompson considering he came in at 220LBS...

Shaq should be a 3rd rounder at best.

Re: 2015 draft??
 

Dawson 40: 4,95? 2 round? He stumbled on both runs...

Guy is probably smartest LB in this draft.

Re: 2015 draft??
 

benardrick mckinney second 40: 4,69
Perryman second 40: 4,81

Re: 2015 draft??
 

early 1st round? No.

Re: 2015 draft??
 

another mid/late round guy, OLB Jake Ryan 40: 4,68
Thompson 4,72 and 4,69

Re: 2015 draft??
 

A top LB will be a split second ahead of other players ao the 40 times differences of less than .20 seconds is easily overcome

Re: 2015 draft??
 

What down do they do a 40 yard dash? That's right they don't BFD

Re: 2015 draft??
 

I want Jake Ryan in 5th round.

Re: 2015 draft??
 

At the LB position, times do matter and is a good measurement of a players overall speed. After watching our core last year, we need FAST linebackers who can drop into coverage and chase down TE's or fast RB's.

Re: 2015 draft??
 

Stephone Anthony is moving up the boards today. kid is making himself some money looks to have cemented himself into the 3rd round

Re: 2015 draft??
 

Maybe we can get him now. ILB McKinnley is faster than expect? Hope we get him, too.

Re: 2015 draft??
 

Dawson looked bad today (in drills also). Like he was out of shape.

I wouldn't touch McKinney in the first round.

Re: 2015 draft??
 

Alvin Dupree is my pick in the first:

Re: 2015 draft??
 

Well, they measure the 10 yard split during the 40. That's useful info....

Re: 2015 draft??
 

Was on Fanspeak earlier & Id be really satisfied if the Saints came away with a draft like this:

*Trade with Kansas City Chiefs
(swap 1st rounders & gain Chiefs 3rd round pick)

1.(18) OLB, Vic Beasley - Clemson

What a combine he had after bulking up to 246lbs. Putting up 35 reps on the bench was definitely a nice surprise. Beasley put to bed my concerns with His weight as long as he can keep it on. Also looked good dropping back in the coverage drills they had him run, besides not being able to hold on to the ball. Arrow is pointing up, so slim chance he's still on the board at 13, forget pick 18

2.(12) ILB, Denzel Perryman - Miami

Im Hopeful he's there in the 2nd, but its doubtful. I have no problem selecting him in the 1st, & trading back to do so would make it that much sweeter.

3.(11) OT/OG, Cedric Ogbuehi - Texas A&M

Falls this far? No way. His injury will land someone a draft day steal. Couldnt pass on him here.

3.(16) ILB, Stephone Anthony - Clemson

This pick finishes the revamp of our LB unit we all want so bad. No brainer

4.(13) RB, David Johnson - Northern Iowa

My Favorite RB in the draft & you dont have to spend a high pick to get him. Mark Ingram situation will determine whether this happens, but id like to make this selection regardless.

5.(12) OG/OC, Shaq Mason - Georgia Tech

Can play Guard or Center, Center may be what makes Him more money. Played well at the senior bowl & looked really good in practice, according to the guys there(Mayock, Jeremiah, Charles Davis.) Good value here.

6.(11) CB, Quandre Diggs - Texas

Highest rated corner left on the board. Covering the slot is where he'll make his living & can be a solid Nickel in the pros. Miami's L. Gunter was taken just before, which would have been my selection as he's bigger & better suited to play the outside.

7.(13) OLB, Charles "Davis" Tull - Chattanooga

His Combine performance was eye opening. He didnt run the 40 because of a hamstring issue, but despite the injury he had the best vertical of any LB(42.5") ..2nd in the broad jump(11') & 5th on the bench with 26 reps. Arrow is up, but with his recent showing its doubtful he falls this late.

*Trade with seattle (Saints gets Seattles 7th round pick for a future 7th)

7.(31) WR, Chris Conley - Georgia

Like prior pick Davis Tull, Conley Put on a show at the combine. At 6'3, 205lbs he had the second fastest 40 time, only behind Phillip Dorsett, with a 4.35 time. He jumped an insane 45" vertical & tied jamie collins broad jump record of 11'7. Those are freak numbers, but didnt exactly translate to much production at Georgia though. Worth a later pick but the combine definitely boosted his stock... so again, its doubtful he falls to the end of the 7th.

Highly unlikely we end up with a draft of this quality but we can always dream using Fanspeaks website haha. Feel most ppl would approve of this draft though, fun stuff.

Re: 2015 draft??
 

That would be an amazing draft considering we walk away with 4 first rounders...

Beasley had an amazing day as well... no way he gets out of the top 10.

Ill encourage people to take a break from all the draft buzz until 3 weeks into free agency.

Re: 2015 draft??
 

Anthony will be long gone before the 7th round 1-3
