I'd be happy with any of those guards that you mentioned Will

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

Still my favorite all around OG to date is

2/3 Sebastian Tretola, ROG, Arkansas 6045 334 5.28

lets talk some later round OG also to keep an eye out for

Round 5/6
Connor McGovern, OG, Missouri 6042 305 5.02
He's best in phone booth, nimble and has played both OT positions to prove it. So zone blocking is covered. He is a brute to boot so power run game looks good. Pass blocking is fundamentally sound just needs some coaching at OG. As I pointed the kid jumped around the OL so give him a home and see what happens, oh he played OC in high school

2/FA??? Jonah Austin, G/OT, Nicholls State 6052 330 5.35
I do not know much about this former LSU guard but he was stuck behind some mighty good talent at LSU. get back to you on him soon

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

Plenty of good guards that you don't have to reach with a first or second round pick...

2016 Game Rosters : The Game : Senior Bowl

OG Christian Westerman, Arizona St; Height: 6' 4"; Weight: 300 lbs.; Round 3 Target

OG Joe Dahl, Washington St; Height: 6' 5"; Weight: 310 lbs.; Round 4Target*

OG Connor McGovern, Mizzou; Height: 6' 4"; Weight: 300 lbs.; Round 4 Target

*Currently, Saints have no Round 6 pick...

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

Hopefully the Area Scouts are also looking close to home ...

Vidal Alexander - LSU - OG
Dion Jones - LSU - OLB

Not trying to be a homer here but believe it or not, there is some serious talent in Baton Rouge.

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

More guards for third round or later

1.Sebastian Tretola vs Kansas State (2015) | Draft Breakdown

2.Denver Kirkland vs Kansas State (2015) | Draft Breakdown

The Arkansas guards in these clips looked solid with few mistakes. Good pushes. Tretola is ranked early fourth range but I expect him to move up. Kirkland is mid fifth round and might move up to early fourth.

3.Jordan Walsh vs Wisconsin (2015) | Draft Breakdown
Jordan Walsh vs Pittsburgh (2015) | Draft Breakdown
Jordan Walsh vs Michigan State (2015) | Draft Breakdown

I was not able to see the last one for some reason, computer would not load the video up. I was about to see it and it's doing it again. But he's 12th ranked as of last ranking(6th among the ones I'm reviewing and I have him 3rd) but he gave his qb time to throw the ball, was great at even run blocking. There was a lot I liked here. I think there were some miscues(very few) but other than that he looked solid here pushing around defenders. As of now he's looking to be early 7th.

4.Graham Glasgow vs Maryland (2015) | Draft Breakdown
Graham Glasgow vs Utah (2015) | Draft Breakdown
Graham Glasgow vs Michigan State (2014) | Draft Breakdown

And the third one again, vs the same team, I could not get completely loaded up. Glasgow has another talent. He can play center and he did it well against Utah. Not as good as the top 3 but the best of the rest. Early sixth round.

5.Christian Westerman vs Texas A&M (2015) | Draft Breakdown
Christian Westerman vs USC (2015) | Draft Breakdown

Just a little less than Glasgow. Late fourth ranking.

6.Joe Dahl vs Oregon (2015) | Draft Breakdown
Joe Dahl vs Stanford (2015) | Draft Breakdown
Joe Dahl vs Rutgers (2015) | Draft Breakdown

Someone on here thinks he should go fourth? Nope, he's ranked in the 7th round and he too often did I see his runningbacks run into him, a problem expressed on here with our RBs, but also he blocked way too close to the QB, getting a good block but not pushing and that's the last thing Brees needs. Also he's played LT in this clips, not LG. But I brought him up because I saw him mentioned on here.

7.Parker Ehinger vs Temple (2015) | Draft Breakdown

This was the only one I saw, didn't see the other ones. The team he plays for is the problem to me. Not a big BCS school but used to be and gets the attention in a way of one which makes the values even worse. He was as good as the previous two or three mentioned but not top four. Late sixth.

I would be wary of drafting Dahl unless he learns to push more but he's a tackle basically. I did not include Kyle Friend because he's mainly a center. And Reese Ohdlambo is injured. Something we do not need to take on given our track record.

All of them are draftable, and better than Turner and Drango.

Do Not Draft
No one undraftable here.

We could actually wait on guard and not get one early. Maybe we should get two?

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

He was moved to tackle last year after playing guard. And some didn't think he was that good at guard. He did look good to me from what I saw, but Idk what he's playing in NFL.

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

McGovern is a drop off from Dahl in the CBS rankings. He's late 7th or undrafted as of now.

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

DT is coming up.

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

What?

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

DTs

These are just for first round

1.
With all the off the field problems he really did look the best here. And I expect him to move up before the draft, meaning our chances of getting him are 50/50

2. Jarran Reed vs Georgia (2015) | Draft Breakdown

Didn't like the first game too much but he looked more relevant against UGA. He should be available when we pick.

3.
He's late first but I was not all that impressed. But he has room to grow because he tried to make plays but he was on a team with other talented players on that defense.

4.
Not impressed at all, too often he was contained by olinemen. And letting teams like WVU, Oklahoma do that does not help at all. I saw the other three able to at least get to the qb more.
