Re: 2016 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
Quote:
Rankins is a true 3-tech; see him starting in the base 4-3 packages as the 3/4-tech and being moved around to get one-on-one matchups with FA Fairley coming in as a 3-tech on obvious passing subs; should Rankins' lack of size to lock down his area be an issue as it was with Sed Ellis, the Saints Draft Team will have overreached, again; and coaches will be busy finding a balance of rotating Rankins and Fairley to their strengths... Assuming Onyemata progresses and is coached up enough to make the roster, fans will need to temper expectations for a couple of seasons as this man is a real raw prospect; I'd expect to see him initially on short-yardage packages and possibly occasionally to spell a starter should we have control (significant lead) in a game; if Onyemata progresses to play significantly in this year or even early next; it'll be lagniappe for the team and a win for the Saints draft team... |

One UDRFA acquisition to keep an eye on is FS Trae Elston outta Ole Miss; if Saints coaching gives him half a chance, he'll be a good one; personally, thought he was every bit as good as Vonn Bell; but with the Cap Money committed to Byrd and the high pick committed to Bell, his chances are really tough... Know many are excited about getting Landon Turner, a projected second/third round pick very late in the draft season; but two UDRFA I really like are BYU's Ryker Mathews and A&M's Joe Cheek; Mathews reminds me alot of Zach Strief, his fate can be tied to the Saints if Strief makes the final roster, likely, and Peat moves into guard, 50/50; Joseph Cheek is interesting as he's like a lighter Carl Nicks with similar athletic builds; Cheek's a smart guy who should pick up things quick, but he'll have to pick bulk quickly without a dropoff in movement, skill and Cheek could use a little more 'violence' to his game... Dillon Lee is a real wild card and the guy I'm locking in on this offseason... Alot of good talent is either not going to get used and result in trade or out and out release for not being a good fit for what Payton will let D.A. install... Running backs are a dime a dozen in the Saints' scheme unless your name is Ingram; all offer impressive talents; one dropped outlet pass will lead to a solid No.2 RB on any NFL roster getting released... |
Re: 2016 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
Wonder if there's a chance we could get back that 2017 fifth round pick for Jairus Byrd? or get a fourth round pick for C.J. Spiller?

Re: 2016 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
FS Trae Elston was a productive player and was always in the middle of everything. I like the DBs the saints have brought in as UDFA.

Re: 2016 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
I wouldn't sleep on Stupar or Ediboli and I'll add Davidson with them. Ascending players with really good upside. I'm curious to see how Anthony does as an OLB.
