'76?!? Is dat you?!?

Honey-do list must be pretty long?!?

Hate your picks, but love you're back, bro!!! :bng:

Re: 2016 NFL Draft Prospect Thread ...............
 

Noah Spence ... Saints surprise selection in the 1st round.

My pre draft shocker/prediction :p.

Re: 2016 NFL Draft Prospect Thread ...............
 

Fairley, now under contract (i.e. initially had Malik Jackson signing in mind), okay, let's go...

The flexibility of the signing makes the draft I had in mind still viable and at the end of the day, we roll with Coach Payton and offense...

R1, S12 (Pick 12) WR Laquon Treadwell, Mississippi; Height: 6' 2"; Weight: 210 lbs.*
Alternate Selection: DL Vernon Butler, LaTech; Height: 6' 4"; Weight: 323 lbs.

R2, S16 (Pick 47) DB Xavien Howard, Baylor; Height: 6’ 0”; Weight: 200 lbs.
Alternate Selection: DB Artie Burns, Miami; Height: 6' 0"; Weight: 195 lbs.

R3, S15 (Pick 78) TE Tyler Higbee, Western Kentucky; Height: 6' 6"; Weight: 249 lbs.
Alternate Selection: FS Darian Thompson, Boise State; Height: 6' 2"; Weight: 208 lbs.

R4, S14 (Pick 112) DE Bronson Kaufusi, Brigham Young; Height: 6’ 6”; Weight: 285 lbs.
Alternate Selection: NT D.J. Reader, Clemson; Height: 6' 3"; Weight: 327 lbs.

R5, S13 (Pick 152) LB Nick Vigil, Utah State ; Height: 6’ 2”; Weight: 239 lbs.
Alternate Selection: WR Devon Cajuste, Stanford; Height: 6' 4"; Weight: 234 lbs.

R6, S12 (Pick 187*) TRADED this pick with 2015 Sixth Round Pick traded for DB Damian Swann (2015, R5, S31, Pick 167)

R7, S16 (Pick 237) OG Jordan Rigsbee, California ; Height: 6’ 4”; Weight: 305 lbs.
Alternate Selection: OG Ted Karras, Illinois; Height: 6' 4"; Weight: 308 lbs.

Have details on my picks > 2016 NFL Mock Draft by Jeanpierre

And it all continues to come together... :bng:

Re: 2016 NFL Draft Prospect Thread ...............
 

Really starting to warm to DB Artie Burns, Miami; Height: 6' 0"; Weight: 195 lbs....

Prefer to add a more physical DB like Xavien Howard, but if Howard is gone, I'd definitely take Burns with the pick...

Westbank will be 30 years old in training camp and he's been breaking down more and more since joining the black and gold...

Re: 2016 NFL Draft Prospect Thread ...............
 

I still say we get Jarran or A'Shawn with #12 and trade back into the 1st round for one or the other. We could give our 2nd this year and first next year or a couple of more late rounders next year. Then in the 3rd and 4th we could take a CB or Safety. Then in the 2 late rounds we could draft LG and RG.

Re: 2016 NFL Draft Prospect Thread ...............
 

I need a extreme dislike button

Re: 2016 NFL Draft Prospect Thread ...............
 

LOL ... you erase some silly college mistakes Noah made from age 19, 20 years of age, he is a top 5 pick. If you go back and review some of his shuttle (things scouts measure for elite pass rushers) drills, dude is the real deal. Young players can change. He could be one of em.

"With the #12 pick in the 2016 NFL Draft, the New Orleans Saints select" ....

Re: 2016 NFL Draft Prospect Thread ...............
 

Spence reminds me of Gallette, say and do all the right things to make a team and then show your true colors. He came off "fake" on NFLN path to the draft show

Re: 2016 NFL Draft Prospect Thread ...............
 

Yes sir, HUGE risk.

Re: 2016 NFL Draft Prospect Thread ...............
 

Re: 2016 NFL Draft Prospect Thread ...............
 

Hagan,

At this point in the year, I'm just throwing random names (Spence is not on my wish list) out here for pre draft conversation but you never know ...

Were any of us even talking about Peat or Kikaha at all before they were drafted? I know I wasn't.

Would love to have Su'a in Black and Gold.

Re: 2016 NFL Draft Prospect Thread ...............
 

Hmm...a little guy.

Re: 2016 NFL Draft Prospect Thread ...............
 

That was the first thing I thought of too, then my second thought was Antonio Brown :pissed:.

Re: 2016 NFL Draft Prospect Thread ...............
 

Su'a Cravens just sent out a message to all teams that he will turn down any private workout requests

Re: 2016 NFL Draft Prospect Thread ...............
 

try as you may i was not biting on that one lmao.

Re: 2016 NFL Draft Prospect Thread ...............
 

yeah he is but how many 6' WR can the saints have with a 6' QB throw to over an OL and DL that stands 6' 4" with 34" inch arms?

Re: 2016 NFL Draft Prospect Thread ...............
 

Re: 2016 NFL Draft Prospect Thread ...............
 

#12 ,Vernon Hargreaves is there, also Treadwell.

My pick is Hargreaves...

Re: 2016 NFL Draft Prospect Thread ...............
 

Ezekiel Elliott is really warming up to me.

Re: 2016 NFL Draft Prospect Thread ...............
 

Great find


Walterfootball.com:

German receiver Moritz Wilhelm Boehringer put up Olympian-type of numbers. He measured 6044, 227 pounds, posted a vertical jump of 39 inches, a broad jump of 10-11, timed anywhere from 4.38 to 4.45 in the 40 while also running 4.09 in the short shuttle and 6.64 in the 3-cone. Wow!! I'm told he also looked good catching the ball.

Re: 2016 NFL Draft Prospect Thread ...............
 

The New Orleans Saints, according to The Advocate, will be holding a workout for Boise State offensive lineman Rees Odhiambo, one of many incoming rookies to visit with the team prior to the NFL Draft.

With a guard arguably being the New Orleans Saints‘ biggest need after failing to address the position in free agency (still not over), Rees Odhiambo is set to work out with the team.

Health is a major a concern, which is why the Kenyan-born Odhiambo will likely fall to the mid-late rounds. He broke his ankle in 2015, playing in only eight games, and he was never able to play a full season at Boise State.

However, when able-bodied and fully functional, he possesses starter qualities, highlighted by great size (6-foot-4, 314 LBS), good play strength, excellent balance, and solid footwork.

Having played tackle in college, Odhiambo will bring a two-position advantage to the NFL, very likely landing a guard job at the next level — he’s a little undersized for an NFL tackle.

Re: 2016 NFL Draft Prospect Thread ...............
 

When did Cravens meet with the Saints?

Re: 2016 NFL Draft Prospect Thread ...............
 

I do not think he has come to town yet

Re: 2016 NFL Draft Prospect Thread ...............
 

And he won't, he sent out a message saying he would not participate in any private workouts

Re: 2016 NFL Draft Prospect Thread ...............
 

He won't do workouts but he will still be doing visits.

Re: 2016 NFL Draft Prospect Thread ...............
 

I want him! 6th round would have been appropriate but I think he might go higher just because of his size speed combination.
I like how effortless it looks when he runs and at age 22 he has a lot of future.

What does an out of work statistician do in there spare time? :rolleyes:

Interesting reading to say the least.

DT i agree with a flyer in day three for Dean Lowry.
Reed I question a bit but food for thought. Reed shows more in pads than shorts and I think he is a product of the bama system.

Tennessee's Pro Day

Stock up:

• S Brian Randolph: Whoever thought Randolph wouldn’t test particularly well (confession: that’s me), was certainly wrong. The veteran safety who appeared in more game (53) than any other Vol in history, showed that he’s more than just a productive college player. He has some NFL-like athletic attributes. And that was most proven in the 40-yard dash, where he ran in the 4.4 range with one report putting him right at 4.40 flat. Those times are all considered unofficial, but regardless, he ran well. He also showed that he’s one of the stronger DB prospects in his class, benching an impressive 31 reps at 225 pounds – numbers normally reserved more for linemen. Wednesday didn’t suddenly transform him into an elite prospect, but scouts will at least want to take a longer look at him now.
http://www.nfldraftscout.com/ratings...2016&genpos=SS

• DT Owen Williams: Though he didn’t have a massively productive UT career, this is the area that Williams shines. And shine he did on Wednesday, posting a whopping 42 reps on the bench press – eight more than anybody at the NFL combine recorded last month, while running well too. He had several flashes of NFL-like upside during the 2016 season and he got much better from the time he arrived on campus in 2014 to the end of his senior season. He could be a sneaky late-round pick candidate that has a ton of upside.
Owen Williams*|*Tennessee,*DT*:*2016 NFL Draft Scout Player Profile

Holding steady:

• OL Kyler Kerbyson: Versatility is the key for Kerbyson as he looks to at least get in an NFL camp and prove that he can bring value to a team because he truly could play all five spots on the offensive line. His numbers, including 32 reps on the bench press, were solid on Wednesday. He truly played out of position the past couple years at tackle, and better projects as an interior O-lineman. If somebody gives him a chance, he can be a guy you keep on the roster or practice squad because of that ability to move around and do different things.
http://www.nfldraftscout.com/ratings...2016&genpos=OG

• WR Marquez North: He was a standout at the combine last month, and he proved it was no fluke on Wednesday, again running in the 4.4 range (this time a bit faster at 4.42) at 6-foot-2, 223 pounds. It’s safe to say he’s proven himself as a physical freak. Then why didn’t he always play like it? That will continue to be the question on NFL teams’ minds, but the numbers he’s put up could very well be enough to make him a late-round pick. injury red flag
