Where do you find this stuff?!? Nevermind.

Re: 2016 Saints Draft Live Discussion Thread
 

Jack still on the board

Re: 2016 Saints Draft Live Discussion Thread
 

So who is better.. Clark or Rankins?

Re: 2016 Saints Draft Live Discussion Thread
 

Here's my problem with banking on this analysis re: Rankins and his Senior Bowl performance...

Defensive players as rookies are usually ahead of offensive players at that stage and many of those offensive linemen won't make NFL rosters...

Secondly, he looked great against the top seniors (not the underclassmen) and that was in one-on-one drills...

Third, Size, specifically Wingspan; he's only 6'1" and has average length arms; a 6'2" center or 6'4" guard is not going to have 1" or 3" more wingspan, it'll be way more, like 6" to 8", exponentially, and that means he'll get jammed up before he can get into an experience NFL offensive linemen...

Fourth, this reeks of Sedrick Ellis 2.0; and this low-man bullshinki wins, well I can tell you, when you got big guards (like we had with Evans and Nicks) and they're basically coached, they'll roll that lil' linemen up and out all-day; and I played football, when I sprouted before everyone to 6'2", it was helluva lot EASIER PUSHING DOWN on guys than when some of them passed me and it was HARDER TO PUSH UP on 6'4" to 6'5"' so shove that low man wins crap, staying in a poised, crouch position is one thing, getting your head shoved down your arse gets tiring...fast...

Fourth, Reggie Bush factor; just as Bush was All-World in NCAA because of his speed, in the NFL there were linemen just as fast and he had nothing else; Rankins will face men each week, even on bad teams, who can fold him up and push him out...

My biggest issue is this see-saw BS back and forth in personnel philosophy...

We were just a couple of pieces from completing the publicly declared 3-4 front and now we're going back to a 4-3; it's this lack of continuity of that is maddening; personally, 3-4 or 4-3 just get it done, without a USSR five year plan...

Wanna be wrong, so wanna be wrong, but I've seen this before...

...the monkey never learns...

Re: 2016 Saints Draft Live Discussion Thread
 

Looks like we may have to get a guard next. Did not see that pick happening.

Re: 2016 Saints Draft Live Discussion Thread
 

I never bought into the kid period. I had him as round 2 talent at the end of the year and nothing changed my mind during the off season.

but oh well the saints do it again and force me to watch and pray lee is right.

Re: 2016 Saints Draft Live Discussion Thread
 

Cards get better

Re: 2016 Saints Draft Live Discussion Thread
 

My head will explode if we take Garnett in the second; don't won't a doctor in waiting from Stanford...

Give me a D*mn football player...

And we're going to need a Defensive End, to seal that edge on the 4-3...

Kikaha, good player, but doesn't have enough arse...

Re: 2016 Saints Draft Live Discussion Thread
 

Still no Bama DT picked ... :popcorn:

Re: 2016 Saints Draft Live Discussion Thread
 

LMAO no worries niners actually traded back into the first for him.

Re: 2016 Saints Draft Live Discussion Thread
 

Reed, I figured to the Cards, a late first rounder; he could play three downs, but he's not a pass rusher, but could set the edge for a fast OLB...

A'shawn I've not liked; thought he was more the beneficiary of great players all around him...

Raglan may have a herniated aorta - that's pretty f**king serious...

Best player from Bama in this draft was Kelly and he went to the one team, and player that needed him most - the Colts and Andrew Luck...

And I just read Luck still hasn't recovered from the a$$ whooping and injuries he received last season...

Know it was an impossible situation, but the Colts should have overpaid and kept Bruce Arians as an assistant until they could move Chuck out...

Re: 2016 Saints Draft Live Discussion Thread
 

what happened to Tunsil?

Re: 2016 Saints Draft Live Discussion Thread
 

It's a looooonggg story

Re: 2016 Saints Draft Live Discussion Thread
 

oh really

Re: 2016 Saints Draft Live Discussion Thread
 

LMAO.... Butler for the Panties.... over a BAMA DT.

You know how they say a picture is worth a thousand words?

His social media account may have been hacked, but he was whack letting someone take his picture doing this...

Nevermind posting it all over the internet...

Re: 2016 Saints Draft Live Discussion Thread
 

i got to go google this

Re: 2016 Saints Draft Live Discussion Thread
 

I'd have taken Butler over Rankins...

Re: 2016 Saints Draft Live Discussion Thread
 

holy **** you don't put that online man

Re: 2016 Saints Draft Live Discussion Thread
 

... with a confederate flag in the background no less.

Re: 2016 Saints Draft Live Discussion Thread
 

Now, do you really think all these young men in the NFL are upstanding men who are in bed for curfew and in Church on Sunday when not playing for the home team?

Re: 2016 Saints Draft Live Discussion Thread
 

I wasn't going to mention that, but I'm glad I'm not the only one who picked up on that...

Wonder how he feels about public monuments and statues depicting civil war vets who defended their homes and homeland?

Re: 2016 Saints Draft Live Discussion Thread
 

Cards are confident in their system like NE they can make anybody fit in. We have not shown that.

Re: 2016 Saints Draft Live Discussion Thread
 

plus the text messages with the coach and his bills, you can't write this stuff

Re: 2016 Saints Draft Live Discussion Thread
 

i'm late to the party but man I love the Saints pick, I'm thinking either WR or OG in the 2nd but man if Jack is there, do you pull the trigger

Re: 2016 Saints Draft Live Discussion Thread
 

What I can figure is how can Coach Payton is so brilliant on offense, but can't just reverse his thinking and apply it to defense...

I'm starting the Dennis Allen Departure Clock now...

Really would love to be in an invisible bubble, in the draft room and watch the decision(s) made...

Absolutely would be fascinated with the process, if not discouraged...

Re: 2016 Saints Draft Live Discussion Thread
 

Ive heard the Cardinals are bricking up all the windows at the training ground as we speak.

Taking no chances

Re: 2016 Saints Draft Live Discussion Thread
 

Re: 2016 Saints Draft Live Discussion Thread
 

no Mayock, it says that Alabama's defense aint worth the hype you clowns spin out

Re: 2016 Saints Draft Live Discussion Thread
 

Myles Jack? He's facing microfracture surgery, came out earlier today on NFL.com...

Somewhere in the thread or the NFL Prospect thread I posted the link to the story...

Just Google "Myles Jack Microfracture" and switch to the News hits...

Re: 2016 Saints Draft Live Discussion Thread
 

Panthers get it. get big and keep it big and draft them big. Butler fell into the best spot to develop. They keep getting scarier up front.

Re: 2016 Saints Draft Live Discussion Thread
 

Mayock lmao.

Re: 2016 Saints Draft Live Discussion Thread
 

Re: 2016 Saints Draft Live Discussion Thread
 

agreed, Ramsey at 5 is insane I really can't believe that SD passed on him

Re: 2016 Saints Draft Live Discussion Thread
 

So glad Frisco took Garnett, so relieved...

Re: 2016 Saints Draft Live Discussion Thread
 

Still very good defensive prospects in 2nd round. DE, DT, or CB?

Me? Another DT. Jones, Miss State

Re: 2016 Saints Draft Live Discussion Thread
 

Spriggs and/or Whitehair should be there at the Saints 2nd

Re: 2016 Saints Draft Live Discussion Thread
 

We still need a Defensive End...

Sure surprised at who is still available...
