After senior bowl:

"Perryman, I think is a first-round inside linebacker if he runs well at the combine," NFL Media's Mike Mayock said.

Kevin White improved his draft stock. Impressed people during practice and in the game. Wanted him as mid round steal.

This is interesting however I always felt this guy is potentially 1st round talent. I would be shocked if we reached up and snagged a LB that high.

Re: 2015 draft??

If Perryman is a rated a mid-first rounder and we need a linebacker, why would we not make that selection?!?

Recent perspective, LB Luke Kuechly went No. 9, LB Brian Orakpo went No. 13...

So I have no problem taken a three down, special player at linebacker...

I agree. It don't matter what round they project a player,if you really want him and believe he will be as asset worth picking in that particular round,then go for it....he may not be there when you pick again. That was a big reason why the Saints moved up last year to get Cooks. They probably had a hunch he wasn't gonna make it to our pick.

Eagles wanted him. We messed up their first round strategy. They had one of the worst first round picks.

Look, I really like Cooks, but we messed ourselves up as well...

We could have waited for Kelvin Benjamin and had the big, tall replacement for Colston...

Or Jordan Matthews, who Coach Payton took an early shine to as well...

Funny thing is, the third round pick, which we could have used on, say, a linebacker, Arizona used it to select Pittsburgh State's John Brown who had 5 TDs (two were game winners) and 596 yards...

Brown's production dropped off when Arizona lost their starting quarterback for the season, so his numbers may have been even greater...

Re: 2015 draft??

Stephone Anthony - side line to line speed. solid cover. good tackler. good getting through the wash. hidden behind a very good DL and played in the shadows of others. upside high ceiling with a high floor. many were waiting on the senior bowl to see if he really could step up. well he did and made some money. he is not the project people thought he was

solid ILB that if the combine and pro days go as people think he will sky rocket up the charts. round 3 looks good but i would not be surprised to see him off the board in the second if all goes well.
