Let me know what y'all think.

been looking at the kid myself.

I wouldnt be mad at all drafting Perryman & Dawson round 1&2. Would be early but I'd rather get guys that are football players & could make immediate impacts on our team & revamp the LB unit. Im just hoping we at least land one solid LB in round 1 or 2.

01/25/15 - 2015 Senior Bowl Stock Report: Ten who stood out in Mobile...Ali Marpet, OG, Hobart College: Marpet was arguably the most pleasant surprise of the 2015 Senior Bowl. All week long, the former Statesman left tackle demonstrated impressive strength, balance and toughness despite making the jump from Division III and switching inside to guard. - Rob Rang, NFLDraftScout.com

Read about him leading up to the Reese's Bowl (Sr. Bowl); showed significant improvement each day adapting to the level of competition...

I consider performance in the game as important as the week of practice; some guys are practice studs who freak on game day...

He had a good, but not great game as expected...

Wouldn't spend a third on him as some project, but if he's there in the fourth after the compensatory bullshinski (about three picks) at the end of round three and through four, then you've to consider him...

OLB SHAQ THOMPSON WASHINGTON
same ol sane ol

CB KEVIN JOHNSON WAKE FOREST
i would not be surprised to see him be the second CB off the board at the bottom of the first. same ol same ol

OT JAKE FISHER OREGON
Ok saints swing backup OT just got a huge upgrade and a player that can push for playing time right out of the gate. ok needs to clean up the penalties but blocking for Drew and protecting a true pocket should clean up a bunch of them right away. needs to bulk up and hit the weight room

DE LYNDEN TRAIL NORFOLK STATE
Not sure if he will be here he has that could go in the second or third written all over him. then again a small trade up could get him. interesting prospect

RB TERRENCE MAGEE LSU
Ok way high for most but he has proved he is the complete power back in the draft. power runner that catches and blocks extremely well. i do not see us getting into a bidding war for Mark

DT LETERRIUS WALTON CENTRAL MICHIGAN 6051 321 5.19
Who? high motor guy with a bit of room to grow. bit of a low floor to start out with but has a solid ceiling and may be one of those players to shock everyone IMO

C GREG MANCZ TOLEDO 6047 307 5.08
I found my round 7 guy and say who once again? i like this kid. small school issues but he is athletic enough. played OT OG and C. A solid shot gun snapper to boot. what sealed the deal is extremely high football IQ. The kid does not get made a fool of on the field. potential starting OG or C down the road? solid chance with this kid. East-West Shrine Game help to keep him in the lower rounds. he did not fair so well and came away with a torn labrum

actually looking at it looks like a typical head scratching saints draft.

Love the first round pick...

Have to watch more of your second round pick as I'm not seeing it...

Check out the kid from Miami, he's currently a fourth rounder...

Trail in the fourth is where he should be taken; you're right that someone will reach in the third, probably among the compensatory selections (Three in the Third Round)...

I think our draft should have the intent, focus of solidifying the middle of the field...

But Shaq Thompson would allow us to do so much...

remember ia talking a #cb with that pick. i really do not see a true #1 CB in the draft except maybe Marcus Peters who as we know is all about interview skills.other than that all #2 in my book.

PJ is too up and down in my book.

Quinten Rollins draft another project?

Kevin Johnson best feet and hips in the draft. might be the best man cover in the draft. i am waiting for the beauty pageants numbers. that is were i think he will shine over the others.

jeanpierre · 02-10-2015, 01:37 PM

The only issue with Rollins is that he's only played the position for a year, does he regress or have a low ceiling?

I'd risk an early third on Rollins, but can we afford to do it after the selection debacle of last season when we clearly should have taken an OLB then?!?

Rob Rang seems to think the Pats will take Rollins with the 32nd pick - first round...

pats want him they will go get him and train him up. that is what they do. load up with starters and draft better prospects to replace them when they ask for the huge contracts. fans here do not get so bent about project picks even in the first. he will see the field some how some way

jjasso007 · 02-11-2015, 10:54 PM

On Fanspeak lately, Bernardrick McKinney has been available in the 2nd. In Walterfootball's latest mock, they have us taking him in the second also. I didn't see him play, but from what I've read, he's lost in space and not good in coverage. I read he's a downhill thumper with speed who could play ILB or OLB. So, for those who watched him play, how's his coverage skills? Because he sounds like what we already have at LB except taller
