Our son arriving is a whole other crazy story but being our first child, I am humbled on a daily basis and dumbfounded at how quickly 24hrs evaporates without anything but feeding and diapers getting accomplished.

Good to see all the familiar "off season faces" here. You are the ones who make this site great.

You know what JP? I don't like my picks either. In fact, I'm going to vault Billings to my Round 1, number 12 pick.

He's THAT good. Can be a force in either the 3-4 or 4-3, great push and a very quick, agile player at 6'2" and 300+ lbs.

He's my final choice.

Well may your newborn be Blessed with Health and Happiness, Brother...

Humbling?!? Never truer words posted...time moving faster?!? get ready...

Glad you're doing what you can to check in...No question you've got you're priorities squared away...

Again, wish you and your family the very best...

LOOKS LIKE A REPLACEMENT TO ME!

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

I remember when we all started this coverage I was able to stash a few players away to use just before the draft. you know to keep things interesting. not any more. :)

Darius Powe numbers put him right were he belong. for a big kid he moves well. routes need a bit of work but that is the cal offense for you.

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

Darius Powe sounds exactly like the kind of WR we go after. Wouldn't be surprised at all if we use our 7th round pick on him.

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

Looks like WR is really deep this year. I have WR in each of the rounds I would not mind see the saints to spend a pick on. Will the Saints add WR depth in day3 and/or UDFA only? this has been the game plane for a few years now or will it change? kicking a lot of late round tires

WR is a area of need but I am not ruling out RB either. Ezekiel Elliott may not be a top ten talent but the way he perfectly fits the saints offense. His skill set is everything SP wants out of a back. At 12 gotta consider him. Ingram and Ezekiel would make a nice rotation. Heck Ingram may stay healthy all year.

I don't want Ingram to have to deal with more timeshares, he already has to with Spiller. I think Elliot should stay on the bench until Ingram gets hurt if we were to draft him. Elliot could be a volume back given he was that at OSU.
