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.

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

MarchingOn

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

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

I wouldn't touch McKinney in the first round.

Alvin Dupree is my pick in the first:

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

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.

blackangold

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.

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

R1 OT LA'EL COLLINS LSU
All the flashy combine LB/DL were gone. I still like this pick.

R2 CB JALEN COLLINS LSU
my #1 #2 CB was gone Collins is the booby prizes. settling for and excellent unpolished CB with upside was hard to do

RB JEREMY LANGFORD MICHIGAN STATE
Always go for a complete RB is my motto. always has been way under valued.

R4 G ALI MARPET HOBART
Developmental OG/OC for the future. besides we need Hobart in the line up with all the other small school OL we have. Trivia: name all the school the start OL for the saint came from?

R5 CB CHARLES GAINES LOUISVILLE
Gaines in the 5th? long shot

R6 DT DERRICK LOTT CHATTANOOGA
Ok the big upstart IMO at the combine. did what he was suppose to do.

R7 OLB EDMOND ROBINSON NEWBERRY
Round 7 always fluid as usual and change with the tides. here is my developmental pick of the week.


The combine confirmed one thing, this is not a deep class for 34 LBers. the few i like were all gone by the end of round 2 and the few i would reach on were also gone.

CB depth upgraded.
OL get a solid infusion of youth
DL and LB get one toy each toys
