Turner, Matthews, Young and Allen will solidify our offensive line this season. I think the front office did a great job at addressing the line to protect Drew. Turner and Allen are steals. Allen was rated as a top 50 player in a couple of mocks.

I like this crop OL

I also like the CB. not a wimp in the bunch. they like to hit

Re: 2016 Saints UDFAs
 

Guys with skills given a shot at competing. I can see five making the team.

Re: 2016 Saints UDFAs
 

Some will make he team... many will be practice squad guys.

Re: 2016 Saints UDFAs
 

I watch a lot of Wisconsin football, they are my ollege team. Caputo will surprise. He is a ball hawk who has a nose for the play. His big problem is that he is a little undersized. But so was Sam Mills

No I'm not comparing him to Mills. Sam was a once in a lifetime player.

Re: 2016 Saints UDFAs
 

I like that we took some solid College OT's that have a few issues that may force them to move inside where they have all you need to succeed in the NFL.

Evans and Nicks were both College OT's that moved inside and became two of the best OG's this decade.

I'm feeling that this Rookie class may be even better than last years'.

I'm super-impressed.

Re: 2016 Saints UDFAs
 

Saints sign Kicker Anthony Pistelli, Samford

Re: 2016 Saints UDFAs
 

Re: 2016 Saints UDFAs
 

And you BETTER like the way he kicks the ball!

Re: 2016 Saints UDFAs
 

I prefer Avery Young to Turner. He's an OT but he was projected to be a guard. He's more athletic than Turner and his footwork is better. He's much faster.

Re: 2016 Saints UDFAs
 

Competition at kicker. It's going to be a heck of a training camp!

Re: 2016 Saints UDFAs
 

I hope steps up. But always remember, potential, will get you fired.

Re: 2016 Saints UDFAs
 

So substitute "In the 6th round, or In the 7th Round......." With UNDFA
Toe May Tow..........Tow Mah Toe?

Does it matter if someone Gives you $10 or you find $10?

Re: 2016 Saints UDFAs
 

Saints sign P AJ Hughes Virginia Tech
LB Chris Weatherd Tennessee
ILB Leonard Pegues Memphis

Re: 2016 Saints UDFAs

Re: 2016 Saints UDFAs
 

PFF put out their "Top 15 UDFAs"

New Orleans got 3 of the 15.

De'Vante Harris - CB, Texas A&M
Jack Allen - C, Michigan State
Landon Turner - OG, UNC

Not too shabby.

Re: 2016 Saints UDFAs
 

Don't sleep on the kicker from Samford.

Re: 2016 Saints UDFAs
 

So, if all goes well the lines will be:

Armstead-Turner-Unger-Peat-Strief

and

Rankins-Fairley-Jenkins-Jordan

Re: 2016 Saints UDFAs
 

IMO if all goes well it will be...

Armstead-(Young/Turner/Matthews/Allen)-Unger-Lelito-Peat (Strief as swingman)

And...
Jordan-Jenkins-Rankins-(Kikaha/Tull/Richardson)

Re: 2016 Saints UDFAs
 

We all thought that about Allen and Turner but Harris came out of nowhere.

This is from his senior year in high school. I know he played a few years at A&M but this kid has a lot of potential for us.

You will have to sit through a couple of trivago commercials but it's well worth it!

Re: 2016 Saints UDFAs
 

You think Lelito has what it takes? He seems very average when he's in there unless it's him trying to help other linemen.

Re: 2016 Saints UDFAs
 

I thought he did OK.

Maybe not. I'm no expert.

Re: 2016 Saints UDFAs
 

It's Lelito's spot to lose and he's in a contract year. Plus, his competition is a group of UDFA's. If he doesn't show this year, he hasn't got it in regards to being a starter in the NFL. But, being a backup swing man at guard and center is nothing to sneeze at.

Re: 2016 Saints UDFAs
 

And his PFF grades last year, 6th best on our entire offense at +5.4

Thats kinda getting it done guys.

Our 4th worst offensive player was Senio Kelemete at -5.5

I think I know where the interior problems came from.

Re: 2016 Saints UDFAs
 

I was saying the whole season last year that Kelemete was the biggest problem in pass pro. His only decent game was actually the last where he played LT.


As an Alabama fan Danno, what is your take on D.J. Pettway?

Re: 2016 Saints UDFAs
 

He didn't get a lot of snaps but did fine when he played. He measures as a tweener. ProbAbly just a 3rd down pass rusher at best. Not sure about his special teams skills tho

Re: 2016 Saints UDFAs
 

I agree that we may have nailed this draft. The UDFA's have a ton of potential and I expect a couple of them to get substantial playing time. I can see four or five making the final roster. It's too bad we can only keep nine on the practice squad because apparently they are a talented group.

FO may have an itchy trigger finger on the IR button this year.
