Re: 2015 draft??
 

I read the Saints scouts interviewed this kid (usually means nothing) along with a few others at the Senior bowl. What's the scouting report on Anthony?

Re: 2015 draft??
 

Well, before the Senior Bowl practice week, Clemson LB Stephone Anthony was thought of as a fifth/sixth rounder...

Denzel Perryman was injured during the Senior Bowl practice week and still had his stock rise with some speculation to first round, but his injury allowed Anthony the opportunity to shine...

And shine he did as now Anthony is thought of as a three down linebacker and may be as high as a second rounder going into the combine...

Now that the Saints have let it be known they're looking at Anthony, it may be the kiss of death for selecting him; and I'd love to take BOTH Perryman AND Anthony and totally rework, upgrade the LB interior for the Saints...

Re: 2015 draft??
 

Stephone Anthony - side line to line speed. solid cover. good tackler. good getting through the wash. hidden behind a very good DL and played in the shadows of others. upside high ceiling with a high floor. many were waiting on the senior bowl to see if he really could step up. well he did and made some money. he is not the project people thought he was

solid ILB that if the combine and pro days go as people think he will sky rocket up the charts. round 3 looks good but i would not be surprised to see him off the board in the second if all goes well.

Re: 2015 draft??
 

Yesir. ive had Stephone Anthony at #4 on my ILB board, rite behind Mckinney, Perryman & Kendricks. What sold me was his bowl game performance against OU. Along with Grady Jarrett. Senior Bowl reinforced my thoughts. Haha seems my LB back to back picks is sitting well with you jeanpierre. I really hope it happens. My hope is that we land Perryman in the 2nd & Paul Dawson in the 3rd even if we have to trade up. & maybe use our 1st on Danny Shelton, Shaq, or whoever falls...cuz it happens every year. That would really turn our front 7 around. Just hoping the powers at be dont screw this up. Seem to have alot of options this year.

Re: 2015 draft??
 

what kind of draft do i really expect from the saints? could look something like this


WR KEVIN WHITE WVU
RB DUKE JOHNSON MIAMI
S ANTHONY HARRIS VIRGINIA
CB CAM THOMAS WESTERN KENTUCKY
OT ERIC LEFELD CINCINNATI
DT DERRICK LOTT TENNESSEE-CHATTANOOGA
OLB TONY WASHINGTON OREGON

ok i fear the worse.

Re: 2015 draft??
 

Sadly I think this will be more accurate than anything we predict.

Re: 2015 draft??
 

LOL .. Hagan714, man I'm hoping you are wrong :p !

Re: 2015 draft??
 

Only way he'll be wrong is if we choose to draft 6 safeties!
