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

More guards for third round or later

1.Sebastian Tretola vs Kansas State (2015) | Draft Breakdown

2.Denver Kirkland vs Kansas State (2015) | Draft Breakdown

The Arkansas guards in these clips looked solid with few mistakes. Good pushes. Tretola is ranked early fourth range but I expect him to move up. Kirkland is mid fifth round and might move up to early fourth.

3.Jordan Walsh vs Wisconsin (2015) | Draft Breakdown
Jordan Walsh vs Pittsburgh (2015) | Draft Breakdown
Jordan Walsh vs Michigan State (2015) | Draft Breakdown

I was not able to see the last one for some reason, computer would not load the video up. I was about to see it and it's doing it again. But he's 12th ranked as of last ranking(6th among the ones I'm reviewing and I have him 3rd) but he gave his qb time to throw the ball, was great at even run blocking. There was a lot I liked here. I think there were some miscues(very few) but other than that he looked solid here pushing around defenders. As of now he's looking to be early 7th.

4.Graham Glasgow vs Maryland (2015) | Draft Breakdown
Graham Glasgow vs Utah (2015) | Draft Breakdown
Graham Glasgow vs Michigan State (2014) | Draft Breakdown

And the third one again, vs the same team, I could not get completely loaded up. Glasgow has another talent. He can play center and he did it well against Utah. Not as good as the top 3 but the best of the rest. Early sixth round.

5.Christian Westerman vs Texas A&M (2015) | Draft Breakdown
Christian Westerman vs USC (2015) | Draft Breakdown

Just a little less than Glasgow. Late fourth ranking.

6.Joe Dahl vs Oregon (2015) | Draft Breakdown
Joe Dahl vs Stanford (2015) | Draft Breakdown
Joe Dahl vs Rutgers (2015) | Draft Breakdown

Someone on here thinks he should go fourth? Nope, he's ranked in the 7th round and he too often did I see his runningbacks run into him, a problem expressed on here with our RBs, but also he blocked way too close to the QB, getting a good block but not pushing and that's the last thing Brees needs. Also he's played LT in this clips, not LG. But I brought him up because I saw him mentioned on here.

7.Parker Ehinger vs Temple (2015) | Draft Breakdown

This was the only one I saw, didn't see the other ones. The team he plays for is the problem to me. Not a big BCS school but used to be and gets the attention in a way of one which makes the values even worse. He was as good as the previous two or three mentioned but not top four. Late sixth.

I would be wary of drafting Dahl unless he learns to push more but he's a tackle basically. I did not include Kyle Friend because he's mainly a center. And Reese Ohdlambo is injured. Something we do not need to take on given our track record.

All of them are draftable, and better than Turner and Drango.

Draft
Round 3-Tretola
Round 4-Kirkland
Round 6-Glasgow
Round 6-Walsh
Could Draft but prefferably not
Round 3-Westerman
Round 6-Ehinger
Round 7-Dahl

Do Not Draft
No one undraftable here.

We could actually wait on guard and not get one early. Maybe we should get two?

I really like Reed. More so than A'Shawn Robinson. ok I will admit it is by a hair and based on the fact he can bounce inside and outside. I like the versatility so he can stay on the field no matter the down.

Good Comparison of the two Bama Defensive Tackles; totally agree with your summation...

Is tearing up the senior bowl looks to be the big climber this year. people are starting to say first round talent. hmmm

Was wanting to see how he'd do at this level; had him on one of my earlier mocks; I'd feel safer signing Free Agent NT Damon Harrison; but would love to take this kid in the third round...

Still like this kid

I'm just not sold on this kid and is too much a risk above round four...

Is another player that is doing well at the senior bowl. round 3/4 now?

Like idea of taking Reader in round four than Johnson earlier, but that's why we have the senior bowls, pro days and combine...

Not to sure were to put him. he is just like Allen DE/DT that can stay on the field for 3 downs and can bounce inside and out. Basketball kid till 10 th grade so there would appear to be some solid upside still there to work with.

This kid really intrigues me with a late round pick; but he's just not been able to put it together on the field and I don't think we have the defensive coach to make that happen...

Really like this guy as a developmental 3-4 Defensive End...

of course i see a trade down in the first

But, but we've got Cam Jordan!!!

Made it clear if Treadway is there, think Saints would make him the pick, but I can see Reed of this bunch in the black and gold and it'd make those Roll Tide types of Saints fans happy - until we start criticizing their play...
