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

Robinson is what he is. a lane plug and not much more.

Biggest difference I see on tap is in pads.

Allen is pretty much the same thing except he uses his hands better and is quicker to react in the phone booth.Allen maybe a a 5.3 guy in shorts but with pads on he does not change. Game speed is solid and the kid hustles. Off the field issues are a bit of a concern. IMO Allen is the player that has a solid chance in 3 years of being the underrated in the draft.

Robinson is just the opposite. IMO he appears to be even slower. Dudes game speed leaves a lot to be desired. I have ranked bottom 1 to top of the second. The over rated player in the round 1 three years from now.

This draft has its gems here and there but the level of talent from round 4 to 7 really stays pretty level.

This is a year to get special teams upgrades cross the board at the end of days 3 all the way through day 3. CB/S loaded. I must have at least 30 players on my short list for these days that I really like. For once a dozen UDFA also.

DT is deep i agree but DE/LB has more than their fair share of solid players in the late rounds worth concidering on upside alone.

This is a great year to rebuild the bench for the entire secondary with players that can multi task and more importantly tackle.

Next late round gem? Colston with speed?

Mitch Mathews WR BYU 6055 222
Hands 10 3/8
Arm 33
40 4.47
20 2.61
10 1.57
20 shuttle: 4.25
3 cone: 6.99
VJ: 36
BJ: 10-9
Bench 12

Reports said he looked good at BYU's pro day running routes and catching the ball. what surprised me and everyone I am sure is that 40. I was expecting a 4.60 or so myself. BYUs WRs I joked all year looked like a great crop of TEs. This was a shocker. hope the saints look at this kid.

This draft is very shallow at tight end, interior offensive linemen and wide receiver - all areas of need for the Saints...

Tight End may not look pressing now, but Fleener is fragile, same with Hooui and other kid didn't step up last season; we're going to really miss Ben Watson...

Yeah, saw that on PFT and commented; if I were him, I'd be leery of who drafts or offers him an UDRFA deal, they probably put the screws too 'em...

Last year, when La'el Collins signed with Jerruh's Boys, there was alot of snickering in Baton Rouge that that boy had been screwed twice by Dallas...

Well if that's the case it will be another long season. Especially if we don't go after Treadwell or Thomas in the first.

Jonathan Vilma said there nothing elite on the board defensively at 12. he said Von Miller is not gonna be there. Therefore, what is the point of drafting decent DT in the first for a defense that needs more than that when there is something that can help the offense tremendously.
