this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; And if you want another Jimmy Graham type, I've got one mocked in the fifth round in Blake Bell... And with Falcon fans reading this, we'll probably have to move up to get him......

While i understand your point & its valid, there is no sure handed 6'4 WR talent late or mid round. That would only be the top 6 guys maybe. That kind of stuff is rare. & Blake Bell is intriguing, but there is a reason he can be had in the 6th round...he's a project. but we're trying to get the best of Drews last few years, which isnt the same Drew we had back in '09. Its evident he's lost velocity & some of his deep ball. I was watching the Superbowl game the other day & was in awe of the zip he had back then. Good stuff. Id be just fine with an elite WR pick at 13, but at the same time be overjoyed to land a Scherff, Collins, Beasley, Fowler, etc. its whatever with me though...

Just having a quick look at scouting reports for them players.
My worry with any of these is we could easily just end up with another player who ends up on the practice squad. You can get talent late as we have all seen but there is always a reason these players are ranked were they are. Get what you need locked up in FA and early in the draft then take chances late on.


Take Colston and Ben Watson away from our TE/WR group and including Cooks everyone off them combined has Receptions 103,Yards 1162,TD 10.

Dezmin Lewis, Central Arkansas, 6' 4", 214 lbs

40 -4.58 SEC
bech-16 REPS
vert-33.5 INCH
broad-119.0 INCH
3 cone-7.11 SEC
20 shuttle -4.28 SEC
60 shuttle- 11.63 SEC

6'4" HEIGHT
32 1/2" ARM LENGTH
214LBS. WEIGHT
9 7/8" HANDS

ANALYSIS
STRENGTHS
Good height and overall size. High points and uses his length. Good forward lean into routes and gets cornerbacks to open up before breaking routes off. Uses same route pace for verticals and stick routes. Long-armed hands-catcher who extends to snatch ball early and get upfield. Satisfactory speed and foot quickness for his size. Weak-armed quarterback forced him to learn to work back to the throw. Tracks the ball well over his shoulder.

WEAKNESSES
Overwhelmed smaller competition at cornerback. Level of competition will be questioned. Too reliant on length downfield and doesn't display consistent leaping ability. Allowed cornerbacks to challenge and deflect throws rather than going up over them. Ran only a few basic routes. Scouts showing some concern over toughness, noting willingness to run out of bounds rather than finishing runs after catch.

"Two receivers to the left, Garcon to the right. Manning in the shotgun, puts Collie in motion. Looks in his direction...it's picked off! It's picked off! It's Tracy Porter again! He's runnin' free! He's gonna go all the way!
