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

Denzel Perryman was injured during the Senior Bowl practice week and still had his stock rise with some speculation to first round, but his injury allowed Anthony the opportunity to shine...

And shine he did as now Anthony is thought of as a three down linebacker and may be as high as a second rounder going into the combine...

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.

If I'm fixated on Perryman, it's because I believe he's a unique MLB that can give that position for the Saints a skill set it hasn't had in years...

Now, I'm cautiously optimistic about what I'm seeing of Anthony, who'd sure be there for after the first round...

And I guess there's still questions whether McKinney is a two-down thumper or a three down linebacker...

If he's a two-down guy like the ones we have now, no way I want to spend a first rounder on a guy who's limited on snaps...
