Interesting notes as always with a little Saints tidbit:

"The release of Marques Colston in New Orleans opens the door for a big outside receiver. I'm told area scouts there have a real liking for Michael Thomas of Ohio State, and could consider him if Sheldon Rankins and Darron Lee are off the board in Round 1."

Safer Picks?

DE Shaq Lawson, Clemson
RB Ezekiel Elliott, Ohio State
WR Laquon Treadwell, Ole Miss
NT Jarran Reed, Alabama
DL A'Shawn Robinson, Alabama

Of the three only one does not make me cry, break down and whimper sure.
Darron Lee - Undersized fast WLB? ok i can see it but it is a big reach based on need.

But these two? Would make me break down and cry. All upside and a high risk.
Michael Thomas- route tree? press? blocking? in our division?
Sheldon Rankins - Undersized pass rushing DT?

So the saints will pick the one of the last two and do it to me again this year.

Shaq Lawson seems a one-trick pony bust of a first round pick to me...

We haven't done well with running backs from Ohio State, and Ezekiel Elliott doesn't have a stellar social media record with his coaches, teammates...

My position is clear with regards to Treadwell...

I see the two Bama guys different with regards to positon...

A'Shawn Robinson I see as a NT and will be as good John Jenkins, not worth a first round pick, and will need better players around him as he enjoyed at Bama...

Now, Jarran Reed is someone I could see taking at No. 12 and would be an excellent DE or NT in a 3-4 front;but with Dennis Allen as DC, that's not likely to happen...

Sheldon Rankins has Sedrick Ellis 2.0 written all over him; getting rolled up and out often, leaving linebackers exposed...

Michael Thomas, just not sold, something is just making my spidey-sense tingle that there's something not right...
