this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; Im sick of watching others take chances on guys with 'character' issues. Just in the past few years we have missed out on Mathieu,Burfict,Henderson by refusing to look at these guys...

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

with spiller on IR and the smell of injury settlement in the air I have a RB I want to bring up.

C.J. Prosise RB/WR Notre Dame 6011 220 4.62

I really think that 4.62 listing is wrong. He may not be a 4.40 guy but a 4.62? I just do not see it on the field. Any ways if his time is wrong i hope the saints take a hard long look at the kid.

Two years working in the slot for the Irish before moving into the backfield as a RB really peaks my interest.

vision, burst, ability to make you miss, long speed and he’s tough to bring down.

zone-stretch scheme, power-blocking, the I-formation or the Spread Offense.

a complete back? pretty darn close

pass-protection is solid but there is room for improvement.

2016 look ahead at Hightower? he might have played his way out of town given the cap situation.

2016 WR? Looks like we have 4 on the roster. Now a RB that can or better yet has played in the slot could be a smart move. Opening up an additional roster spot for another position of need. He was a DB coming out of high school.

Yet he still has another year of eligibility left and has yet declared. If he gets a 3/4 projection he may just go to NFL. Which I have a hard time seeing him improving on based on the fact he does not have that WOW speed factor. 4.5 range seems about right.

If he get the 5/6 tag for the draft i am banking he will return to ND.

This does not look 4.6 speed to me

He's fantastic but Breaux and Lewis can be just as good

Lewis is almost 30. We have to keep an eye on him. Injuries ate mounting.

That all depends on what type of defensive system we will run. I hope the Saints really commits to a 4-3. Then an ILB wouldn't be our greatest need, Anthony will man that position for years to come. We would need another OLB thou.

+1. And that Bama front 7 is, well ... nasty. You didn't hear A'Shawn Rob name called much (constant double teamed) but Allen, Ragland & Reed were just as good.

IMO all of the aforementioned players will be difference makers on Sunday. Hopefully Ireland and his staff takes a good look at these guys moving forward.

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

Are we going 34 or 43?

If Dennis Allen Is the DC odds are we will be going 43 defense. So ILB would be a mute issue unless Anthony is to learn a totally new position as an OLB.

Picking at would be 11th it appears the hyped impact players would be off the board and we would once again pray for some one to drop into our lap. Right now I have Jalen Ramsey as one of the top players to drop in the draft. so we may get lucky. Myles Jack just keeps popping up. Is it really a reach for A'Shawn Robinson?

Win Sunday and some interference from the foot ball gods we could end up picking in between 15 and 18. Now it gets interesting lol

Looks like we will be somewhere between 10-13. Unless a couple of top dogs fall I would trade back to about 20. It would give us another rd 2 which we really need.

Mackensie Alexander CB Clemson or Vernon Hargreaves III CB Florida in Rd 1.
Vadal Alexander OG 2 LSU, Josh Doctson WR TCU, Beckwith LB LSU or Joshua Perry OLB Ohio State in the 2nd rd
Vernon Butler DT La Tech, Pharoah Cooper WR SC in the 3rd
Josh Garnett OG Stanford, Carl Nassib DE Penn St. in the 4th.

Anything like this I would love.
