Saints select Stephone Anthony @31

saintsfan1976 · 05-01-2015, 08:44 AM

To all who don't like the Anthony pick at 31:

What have we needed for years? An athletic, speedy linebacker who can cover.

Anthony IS that player. More so than Perryman.

And I'd rather use a high pick on a guy who's responsible for doing more than being a "space eater"....

C'mon fellas, there are a dozen 300+lb guys we can grab in later rounds. There aren't other Stephone Anthonys.

The biggest reason I would have preferred we had Taken Denzel Perryman is the Pure Tackling ability that he has watch the tape on him he don't miss tackle anyone and is a veracious tackler you watch his film when he hits you you don't go any further your down and that's it.

Keep Drew upright for 2 more seconds and EVERYONE is open.

Again, keep Drew upright and those don't happen. For another 2-3 years. And what about building a solid O line for the next guy?

Anthony has the same ability AND covers better. You'll warm up to him quickly.

I can't speak about perryman's game, meaning minus what you said here, but Lofton was the same type of tackler, he just blew in coverage, badly

Dang, this cat is fast, instinctive, athletic and violent.

Basically everything our other LB's aren't.

He really is fast man, he can go sideline to sideline. Super athletic. If there's a hole for him to go through, look out. Imagine blitzing him up the middle?

Was Kenny Stills any higher rated than many of them

Take away Waller who is a sleeper and ver raw the rest all have somevery useful traits. Nobody will know until the a year or two into there career.

DGB could be the best WR in the draft,others have a mixture of hieght/speed other just Colston style match up nightmares

I am ok with this pick.

I think the key thing he brings to the table is that he is a LEADER!!!

Good athlete, hard worker, leader, smart... yep

You never know what is going to become of draft picks, that's just the way it is, but from what I have seen of him I am optimistic he could be a really good one

Agreed. He has all the traits that say he likely won't be a bust.

Size, Speed, Instinct, Motor, Character, Leader...

Yes, any player can bust, but it sure looks like he has a low bust factor.
