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

Pivotal player for the Saints in this draft will be RB Ezekiel Elliott; if the buckeye somehow is selected before we pick at twelve, we could see either Jack, Bosa or Buckner fall to us assuming Goff, Wentz go in the top two...

If it's Jack, I trade out and let the demand give us leverage to gain a modest cache in picks...

I'd probably do the same with Bosa, I'm not sold on him either...

Now if it's Buckner, that'd be a tough decision...

And then there's the Tennessee Titans who may want to move up and take Conklin or Stanley to protect Mariota's blind-side, and they're second and third round picks are going to be at the top of those rounds...

Whatever the case, don't let Loomis do the negotiations, he gives it up like Becky Rottincrotch...

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

Coaches and scouts from the Cincinnati Bengals, Carolina Panthers, New Orleans Saints, Atlanta Falcons, Chicago Bears, New York Jets, Buffalo Bills, New England Patriots and Denver Broncos were on hand at Florida Atlantic for the workout of German receiver Moritz Boehringer and once again he impressed future employers.
Boehringer ran an unscripted positional workout where teams requested certain routes during the workout and Boehringer obliged. He not only caught the ball well but absorbed the requests and easily ran the route tree asked of him. Just like his initial pro-day on March 31st, Boehringer looked very natural. He had one-on-one interviews with all the teams in attendance beforehand.
Boehringer has five team visits starting this weekend and will be on the road starting tomorrow until April 20th.
Those on hand were also very complimentary of Jacoby Brissett, telling me the North Carolina State quarterback threw the ball well.

Drop the "or"; we better not waste the No. 12 pick on a two-down linemen...

Carolina could be getting Treadwell or Thomas with their first pick.

If we let them get the german guy I'm going to be pissed. The defensive teams are starting to load up on offense and that is a scary thing.
