this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; No G, WR, or TE in a draft full of quality at all three positions. Not a fan of the QB pick or the RB pick....

My least favorite pick was also Grayson, but I understand why. The draft isn't for filling holes in the current roster. Its for stocking your team with better players than the 31 other teams for continued success year in and year out. Payton said he was very pleased with the progress of Coleman and Seantavius Jones. We still have Colston, Cooks, Toon, Saunders, Coleman, Jones, Morgan and even Spiller who will probably catch 50 passes from Brees year in and year out. I think we'll still address some minor holes with free-agents, TE being one of them. |

Re: 2015 UDFA Signings
And out of those we could find at least one or two gems. Not a bad day at all.

Re: 2015 UDFA Signings
add another to the mix,sounds like a outsider to make the roster
MALCOME KENNEDY TEXAS A&M 6'0" HEIGHT 205LBS. WEIGHT ANALYSIS STRENGTHS Generally reliable hands when asked to catch over the middle. Good size for a slot receiver. Scouts say he has football intelligence you look for. Tough player. Willing to work the middle when called on. Played hurt. Creates leverage downfield through quality of his routes. Finds ways to make defenders miss at times in space, despite average athleticism. WEAKNESSES Shows very little functional acceleration to open passing windows against man coverage. Primarily a possession receiver who benefited from system. Waits too long on throws to get to him rather than snatching with extended arms. Marginal athleticism. Dances a little too much after the catch. Doesn't make as many tough catches as he could. DRAFT PROJECTION Priority free agent BOTTOM LINE Possession receiver who did most of his work from the slot. Saw a slew of poorly thrown balls his way when wandering beyond five yards, but didn't show a consistent ability to turn a bad throw into a catch. Lacking speed and quickness teams look for from slot. |
"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!

Re: 2015 UDFA Signings
And Another
Sam Wren DE Oklahoma Cant find much Per a source, the defending NFC Champion Seattle Seahawks are working out Oklahoma State hybrid DE/OLB Sam Wren in Oklahoma on April 14th. Wren finished his senior season with 25 tackles in which seven went for a loss. He also added two sacks and wasted little time impacting the Cowboys’ defense after coming from the Juco level. Wren originally began his collegiate career at Arizona Junior College earning first-team All-Western States Football League honors after accumulating 14.5 sacks. He also was named defensive MVP of the 2012 El Toro Bowl. He recorded 12 tackles, four tackles-for-loss, and one sack in the MVP performance. He made a rather easy transition into the Big 12. Wren demonstrates a great ‘get off’ on the ball and never quits on the play. His non-stop motor is difficult not to notice as well as his ability to apply pressure on the quarterback. Wren resembles a combination of both Von Miller and Aldon Smith as he uses the ‘dip move’ like Miller to perfection. Seattle lost two edge rushers via free agency with O’Brien Schofield (Atlanta Falcons) and Malcolm Smith (Oakland Raiders) signing with new teams. There is not a glaring hole in the Seattle defense, but finding more capable players’ similar to Wren is likely on the Seahawks draft agenda. Remember not all these players signed. Some are just camp invites |
