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

[jeanpierre]

It's a much deeper defensive linemen class than wide receiver class for sure...

But they'll be a couple of third day guys who could surprise...

It is likely we don't select Treadwell...but you can bet that they'll miss Marques Colston after this season...

Guess Marques failing this year's physical made the Saints face the obviousness that NFL players have age limits...

Was Colston a difference maker last year?

Anyways, I think we might end up drafting Jackson. Brees wants a playmaker.

Why did the saints not know that before? They thought Colston was not done?

Of course they knew, but they've been in denial about his health; just like they've been in denial about other personnel...

But the fact that he won't be on the sideline in black and gold - well, ****te is going to get real for the offense this year without a comparable talent...

So we're going to struggle on offense again. Great. I guess when we missed on CJ that was it. If Cooks needs Colston to make him play hard then he's no Antonio Brown.

When is the last time we struggled on offense? The Ditka years?

Well, I've made this point before...

Being No. 1 on offense doesn't translate to the big board that determines the winner...

In fact, say you drop the highest and lowest scoring games to eliminate "flukes" and the Saints were barely No.10 in scoring last season...

We move up and down the field, but we weren't finishing as we have in the past...

And two big reasons for that were that we missed big receivers in Colston and Graham...

That's why I've banged the drum for Treadwell and had for Tyler Higbee...

Out of this draft class if we pick one I would rather have T. Sharpe he has the most upside of any of them. Should be running wild by mid season. .

[WillSaints81]

I'm frustrated. We better draft a ROTY candidate.

I don't think the NFL Gods will help us until we show we deserve it.

Will...

...you gotta settle down, man...appreciate you're passion...but give things a chance to shake out first...

even if the Saints don't take Treadwell in the first, they're are some options there that could still be very effective...

...maybe not the monster Treadwell could be in this offense, but still pretty effective...

...and remember, let's see if Jeff Ireland can't continue to be a positive check in the draftroom...
