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

Guy is probably smartest LB in this 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:

3. Kentucky's Bud Dupree recorded an 11-foot-6 broad jump, just an inch shy of Georgia wide receiver Chris Conley's 11-7 effort Saturday, which tied a combine record. Not bad for a guy who weighs 269 pounds. His nearest competition among the linebackers was Texas' Jordan Hicks, a distant second at 10-4. Dupree has been calling his combine shot since last summer, and delivered in emphatic fashion on Sunday.

Alvin Dupree, 3-4OLB, Kentucky
Height: 6-4. Weight: 264.
Projected 40 Time: 4.74.
Projected Round (2015): 1-2.
1/31/15: Dupree has a good skill set with speed, strength and athleticism. He needs to keep refining his pass-rushing moves. Sources have told Walter Football that Dupree could go from the mid first to the early second round.

The senior recorded 74 tackles with 11.5 tackles for a loss, one pass batted, one interception, two forced fumbles and 7.5 sacks. He's been much more disruptive than the numbers illustrate and his sack production was hurt by going against eight read-option offenses. Even though Dupree didn't have a huge stat line, he was very good against Florida as he caused a lot of disruption with pressure. Dupree had a huge pick-six against South Carolina in Kentucky's seven-point upset win. He did not impress against Georgia.

8/23/14: Dupree is a quick, strong and physical defender who can play defensive end and outside linebacker. For the NFL, he would be an interesting 3-4 outside linebacker or right end in a 4-3 defense.

Dupree played well in 2013 and was a nice weapon in Mark Stoops' defense. Dupree recorded 61 tackles with nine tackles for a loss, two forced fumbles, one pass broken up and seven sacks for the season. The junior was disruptive off the edge. He was wise to return for his senior year.

It was nice to see Dupree build on his impressive 2012 season, when he totaled 91 tackles with 12.5 tackles for a loss, 6.5 sacks and a pass batted. It was his first year of significant playing time. Dupree totaled 21 tackles, 2.5 tackles for a loss, 2.5 sacks, two passes broken up and a blocked kick as a freshman.

Personal: Majoring in community and leadership development. Son of Sophia Stephens and Alvin Dupree, Sr.

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.
