Re: 2015 draft??
 

ANALYSIS
STRENGTHS
Former tight end who moves easily and naturally. Good initial quickness to reach cross-face blocks. Finisher in zone game. Can sustain blocks with proper hip roll and balance through contact. Keeps base wide and uses choppy, controlled steps in pass sets. Mirrors well and has feet to shut down stunts inside. Well-timed and effortless transition from initial block to second-level assignment. Adjusts with good change of direction. Fights back with resolution after losing a rep to defender. Understands how to create leverage advantages with angles and footwork.

WEAKNESSES
One of the most penalized tackles in 2015 draft class over last two seasons, including six holding calls during 2014 season. Needs angles to get consistent push in run game. Lacks power. Allows outside hand to get wide in pass pro, opening himself up to bull rush. Catches pass rusher rather than punching. Not much pop in his hands. Inconsistent feet as a run blocker, slowing feet at contact against power. Missed part of 2014 with a leg injury. Needs weight-room work to add more bulk to his frame. Needs to improve his contact balance against power.

BOTTOM LINE
If you are a zone-based team looking for an athletic, well-schooled tackle who can come in and compete for a starting position right away, then Fisher is your guy. He has the feet to play the left side and is savvy enough in the run game to man the right side. He needs more weight on his frame, but guard is also an option for Fisher.


Sounds interesting
Some issues and good points in bold

I like him but a little woried about him being Small in a big mans division
also

ANALYSIS
STRENGTHS
Burly, stout, old-school linebacker build. Wants to hit and brings his pads with him when he delivers a blow. Delivers a jarring punch into oncoming offensive linemen on second level. Defends his area of turf and sees past blockers, keeping his eye trained on the play. Is able to disengage and shed blockers. Plays low and with leverage. Once he diagnoses, can trigger into gaps and disrupt. Expected to be productive special-teams player at the next level.

WEAKNESSES Not a twitchy athlete. Takes time to gear up after changing directions and can struggle to tackle jitterbug runners in space. Heavy-legged mover in space and struggles to make plays outside of his assigned area. Lacks coverage traits and is a liability in man coverage. . Short levers won't allow him to leverage blockers as a pass rusher. Slow to get off his spot and burst laterally, which causes him to miss some tackle opportunities.

SOURCES TELL US "He's physical and plays angry at the point of attack. He's the type of guy you like having on your team because he brings toughness to practice. He's going to lay the wood to ball carriers when he gets a chance but college teams were already finding ways to go after him in the passing game." -- AFC East regional scout

"I have a little higher grade on Perryman than I probably should, but we like thumpers and badasses inside and he's both." -- AFC director of scouting

NFL COMPARISON D'Qwell Jackson

BOTTOM LINE Early down linebacker who can make plays against the run but will struggle if isolated in coverage. Perryman is a lunch-pail worker who enjoys the physical part of the game. Can be a highly productive NFL player but ceiling looks to be limited.

Really not sure what to think here to be honest,like him and what he brings but are we looking at another Lofton

Re: 2015 draft??
 

There is something there isnt there
We are due to loose all three of our DE at the end of the season and if we are staying 3-4 we need rotation there at least. I have a feeling we go back to 4-3 though,not sure why. I can see Ryan going unless we are a top 5 defense and i can see Allen pushing a 4-3.

Re: 2015 draft??
 

i love this kids game. remember who he was blocking for too and that system. Afriend on the west coasted pointed out over 50% of those holds were on scrambles. that and a bulk of the holds were not his assignment. When he went down for a few games that duck OL was serving up sacks like there was no tomorrow.

in no way do i believe he is an OT that should go in the first. second sure. third round he was a steal. but everyone now see the huge drop off after the top 2 OT come of the board. Potential and hype have nothing to do with fisher really. he needs some work but he is light years ahead of Clemmings and Flower. closest OT to him is Peat IMO and i would still take Fisher over Peat.

you have a high floor and with coaching and weight room work you have an extremely safe pick that is a huge upgrade depth wise as soon as the pick is made. the talent is there to take over as a starter down the road in a year or two at the latest.

he is the best swing OT in the draft.

Re: 2015 draft??
 

I'm not saying I wouldn't want him in the black & gold, but some of those things jump out at me. With the emphasis on calling the "hands to the face" penalties on both sides of the lines - I fear that someone as tall as him and raw would receive quite a few flags for that infringement. Also, I'm not sure if using a 1st rounder to get a 20 year old with a lot of "upside" is the way to go with the way the Saints' coaching staff has been unable to really develop any of the high "upside" players of the past, especially on the defensive side of the ball.

Re: 2015 draft??
 

he is a freak. a tease. a pick that could make you giggle and act like a little school boy for a short time then one day you wake up and regret for the rest of your life that you ever went there in there first place. memories we all have :rolleyes:

that or it gets sweeter over time like a fine wine and we all know how rare that is;)

Re: 2015 draft??
 

True, and I'm intrigued by him all right. I just believe that all 1st rounders should be ready to start right away - at least in theory - and I don't think anyone can say that about this kid.

Re: 2015 draft??
 

actually listing to to pats talk shows here in NE. if there is a LB or more importantly a CB we like we better pick them because odds are the pats will.

Re: 2015 draft??
 

The Saints do have plenty of picks this year - at least at the moment, but who knows - so they could make a couple of those high risk vs high reward type of picks, but hopefully not with the 1st and/or 2nd rounders.
