2016 NFL Draft Prospect Thread ...............

[jeanpierre]

I wouldn't like the Boyd selection at all; he's too small a physique...

Overly talented for a small slot receiver; lacking as a X or even a Y receiver...

Garrett is intriguing, but do we really want to wait for him to develop in two years on a possible No. 1 receiver?!?

he looked good against one of the better defensive schools in VT. That speaks volumes.

I understand, but that is one game...

At his size? This being the NFL (Not For Long) playing week in, week out...

Just don't like it...

Thomas is probably the second biggest receiver in this draft behind Treadwell. He's 6'3 220+ pounds. Everyone else is 6'1 or shorter, 200 or smaller.

We already have two short wideouts and we really do not need a third so we can just rely on specific plays for Brees to throw deep. And if a player weights less than 200 I worry about the longevity. I think Doctson is going to be injury prone until he gets bigger.

Okay you were talking about Garrett not Thomas. Might as well make the Thomas pick if you think Coleman won't be good.

LMAO...Will, thought we were talking about Tyler Boyd...

Can hear my old grade school English Grammar teacher fussing about pronoun reference, ambiguity...

Don't like investing draft picks in Greg Lewis (nee' Eagles) types, never knew when they'd be available because the body types couldn't take the NFL physicality...

Absolutely can't stand Michael Irving, but the guy was a warrior on an island; see Treadwell as a better version and that's is why I'm banging the drum for the pick...

on second thought my position on him has changed. He was not targeted enough and the qb was mediocre. He will not be the number 1 on our team if he is drafted and that may help. His only bad game in these clips was Illinoise. I saw him run after the catch also and get out of tough situations. With two top otions on the team already, he benefits as the number 3 or 4 and could take over for Coleman if he doesn't cut it.

He might fall to round 3 where he could be a steal.

Since we have a TE now no need to look into those. Onto DE, LBs.

Will...

Fleener doesn't have a history of reliable hands on crucial plays...

Thomas is not making it past us the mid-second round...

Coleman is not a core No. 1 / X-receiver...

Also, Miller is more unadaptable from that system. Thomas dealt with contact and might be more NFL ready.

Laquon Treadwell WR Mississippi 6020 221
Josh Doctson WR TCU 6030 202 4.50

Tyler Boyd WR Pittsburgh 6015 200
as a first rounder I never understood. In the second he is an option. what I like is his silky smooth route running. He is a natural WR with great hands. Size and top end speed are the knocks but being were you are suppose to be goes a long way in the saints offense. A big plus is this over-*the*-middle toughness. He reminds me of Keenan Allen, Lmao I just google him and NFL did the same thing. Allen was compared to Jordy Nelson, maybe I should rethink this. But will Boyd drop into the 3rd round? Allen shocked many by being there in the third because of the same type of knocks against him.

But it is the mid to late rounds I think the saints will take a WR as usual

Tajae Sharpe, WR, UMass 6025 200 4.55
Geronimo Allison, WR, Illinois 6021b 197 4.59
still looking a few others

Couple of 7/UDFA?
Cody Core WR Mississippi 6025 205 4.45
Mike Thomas, WR, S. Miss 6025 210 4.52
Trevor Davis, WR California 6011 188 4.42

Actual this might turn out to be one of the better class of UDFA at WR that we have seen in while
