Re: 2016 Saints Draft Live Discussion Thread
The team has always looked better as a 4 headed recieving core of late
Fleener Thomas Snead Cooks Snead needs to prove it wasn't a one off season and Coleman has proved nothing so i get the pick. Not taking Reed is a surprise though. I guess they just wanted to get more holes plugged or have there wyes on a 3rd-5th round line depth |

Re: 2016 Saints Draft Live Discussion Thread
The nephew of former No. 1 overall pick Keyshawn Johnson, Ohio State's Michael Thomas is ready to make a name for himself. As the top receiver in this year's draft class, Thomas is doing just that.
In a draft dominated by smaller receivers, Thomas' size is a positive trait. He's a full 6'2 ¾" with a jacked 217-pound frame. His 10 ½-inch hands are above-average size for his frame and allow Thomas to grab the ball away from his body with confidence. In the last two seasons at Ohio State, we charted just five drops for Thomas on 110 catches. He turned those catches into 1,580 yards and 18 touchdowns in an offense that featured the running back first and a running quarterback second. Without getting 100-plus targets per season, Thomas still managed to produce quality numbers. Thomas' ability to stutter-step and set up cornerbacks with double moves is impressive for a big receiver. He knows how to vary his speed and can break down his hips to leave cornerbacks guessing and driving upfield while he's running by them. Thomas is a No. 1 receiver in the NFL. Put him in the "X" and get him the ball. He has the skills to make an early impact in any offensive system. NEGATIVES Thomas doesn't always look natural as a route-runner against tough man coverage. He can tear up off coverage, but he isn't always reacting and gliding through his routes if a good defensive back is in-phase. Trusting his routes and playing with more of a dog mentality will help him here. As with any Ohio State receiver, Thomas must answer concerns that the offense created opportunities for him. Can he create on his own? The tape would seem to say yes, but in the NFL he won't have the playmakers around him that the Buckeyes threatened college defenses with. On special teams, Thomas has no value and no experience. He's not built for fourth down. COMBINE RESULTS Height: 6'2 ¾" Weight: 217 lbs. 40 Time: 4.47s 3-Cone: 6.80s Short Shuttle: 4.13s PRO COMPARISON: Dez Bryant, Dallas Cowboys FINAL GRADE: 7.10/9.00 (Round 1—Rookie Starter) |
"Two receivers to the left, Garcon to the right. Manning in the shotgun, puts Collie in motion. Looks in his direction...it's picked off! It's picked off! It's Tracy Porter again! He's runnin' free! He's gonna go all the way!

Re: 2016 Saints Draft Live Discussion Thread
If it was me drafting I would feel the same way. The draft usualy takes time to see how well you did so today's needs aren't necessarily served by the draft. Getting a good football player is always a good idea. I do think we should have taken the pothead dixie loving black tackle, but guess after you see a douche bag with a belt eat your cap...
