No. 075 (R3, 11) LB Stephone Anthony, Clemson; 6' 2", 245 lbs

I read the Saints scouts interviewed this kid (usually means nothing) along with a few others at the Senior bowl. What's the scouting report on Anthony?

Well, before the Senior Bowl practice week, Clemson LB Stephone Anthony was thought of as a fifth/sixth rounder...


Now that the Saints have let it be known they're looking at Anthony, it may be the kiss of death for selecting him; and I'd love to take BOTH Perryman AND Anthony and totally rework, upgrade the LB interior for the Saints...

Me, too, but why fixated on Perryman? You're persuaded he can help fix our run defense, too?

I prefer McKinney and/or Anthony. I like your hope to totally revamp LB corps with multiple LB picks, even two ILBs possibly.

Yesir. ive had Stephone Anthony at #4 on my ILB board, rite behind Mckinney, Perryman & Kendricks. What sold me was his bowl game performance against OU. Along with Grady Jarrett. Senior Bowl reinforced my thoughts. Haha seems my LB back to back picks is sitting well with you jeanpierre. I really hope it happens. My hope is that we land Perryman in the 2nd & Paul Dawson in the 3rd even if we have to trade up. & maybe use our 1st on Danny Shelton, Shaq, or whoever falls...cuz it happens every year. That would really turn our front 7 around. Just hoping the powers at be dont screw this up. Seem to have alot of options this year.

Dawson is a second rounder, and I'd rather have Anthony over Dawson after what I saw in the Senior Bowl...

If Perryman moves up to the back of the first round and Anthony moves into the second with both having good combine showings...

Then I'd take Shaq in the first round, Anthony in the second and roll from there...

Don't see Danny Shelton as a fit for us in a 3-4 which is the base I'd prefer us utilize and secure the personnel for same; really like to see us get some big space gobblers on the line and zone-blitz attack with 6' 2" to 6' 4" linebackers...

Well thats what Danny Shelton is. Perfect fit for 3-4. Thats why he's being mocked to 3-4 teams. O well though, im fine with going in a number of directions. Just hope we dont screw up our 1st rounder.
