Laquon Treadwell pro day... 4.63 40? Ugh!

That was his big negative, his speed to separate from press DBs and he proved it. Wasn't a fan to draft him at 12 and still not. Defense defense defense at 12

This team has bigger issues than WR, I'm all for drafting one BUT only after drafting defense and Oline the first few rounds

From the Draft Prospect Thread...

Charles Brown (round 2), Andy Alleman (round 3) were second day picks...

We need to draft the best available player when it's our selection irregardless of Brees and his window...

I think big bodied sure handed WR's that run 4.62 aren't typically drafted at pick #12.

Don't put to much stock into the 40 times. ESPN or someone did an article not long ago about 40 times. Most Hall of Famers were not even tops in the 40's in their draft class.

Either you can play football or you can't.

It's one of the most overrated things in sports, if 40 times mattered than the Raidiers would be 5 time champs by now

I wouldn't hate taking Treadwell at 12, but it wouldn't be the pick I would make if it were up to me. I'd rather continue to beef up that D line. Everyone says we need Colston's replacement, but he's more or less been a big non factor for the past 2 seasons for sure, and we've gotten along just fine without his former production. That's my two one hundredths of a dollar.

He's good in a good group. None appears to be game changers. Someone like Treadwell might be average while a guy projected from the 5th to 7th like UMass WR Sharpe could be a star. The Saints need defense in a very talented, deep defensive class. They should go defense unless a can't miss OT like Stanley falls to them.

He's faster than I am.

We have a saying in Old Boy rugby.......we may be old but we're slow.

Marques Colston ran a 4.5 - not that much faster. Treadwell will make a difference wherever he lands.
