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

Here's something interesting from Matt Miller at Bleacher Report:

"The top-ranked linebacker in this class, Jaylon Smith, is still a lock to go top 15 according to team sources. Smith, who tore his ACL and LCL in the Fiesta Bowl, is already back rehabbing two times a day according to sources close to the player. One team to keep an eye on is the New Orleans Saints. I'm told there is a lot of like for him at weakside linebacker on their board."

I really like the sound of that. This is a deep class for D-Lineman so I would be fine with Smith in the first round.

While I wouldn't mind Another OLB. Do we really want one that is just coming of a big knee surgery?

That would be a retrograde move for the Saints; going back to farming players for other teams...
