OLB? junior has that role & we're paying him a hell of alot of money to rush the passer. Thats what shane ray does, he's not yet ready to take on much more than that as he still has to develop & learn to defend the run better, Forget about pass coverage. DE? Undersized for that position(6'3, 240)...not the type of guy the saints or teams usually look at for a 3-4 DE(Cam 6'4 287, Akiem 6'5,324) ..same issue ppl tried to label on michael sam last year but he had about 20 more pounds on him at around 261. Shane ray is a different monster & ALOT more talented though. Replace Haralson? Sure i can see that but then that leaves us with a bigger issue in pass coverage than this year, as haralson was our best passing down option imo. So its just hard to find a spot for him.

Vic Beasley has got to put on some weight!(6'2, 235 at best) But i do like him. As i did last year. His only option is an OLB, which still leaves us in the same predicament as shane ray. & i dont exactly believe in Joe Vitt to coach either of them up.

I would not be upset with either of these guys though

The Saints WILL NOT draft a guy like Dorial Green-Beckham. Even though he is a rare talent(6'6 & can run like a deer.) id personally love to see what he can do, but we wont see that with this organization. They dont usually draft these kind of problems. Too many off the field issues.

Last but not least, Devin Funchess will not fall past the 2nd round. Theres no way.
Ray and Beasly play the same position as Shaq.

Yes, all 3 are labeled "OLB"

Shaq is a 4-3 OLB
Beasley & Ray are 3-4 OLB...big diffrence.

Different skill set & shaq could probably scoot over to a 3-4 ILB.
