Re: Re-Grading the New Orleans Saints 2013 Draft Class

Almost gave it a B rating.

Kenny Vaccaro is still a work in progress and I am wondering if this is as good as it gets. As usual I wanted to trade down. Alec Ogletree was my man.

Terron Armstead we all saw the writing on the wall

John Jenkins did not like it then and he has done little to change my mind. Trading up to get him only made matters worse. He is the only big butted player on the team still so that is the biggest reason he is a starter. He get pushed around way to much for a man this big. Maybe DA is his savior. My pick was to stay put and draft Jesse Williams in round 4

Kenny Stills caught me by surprise. Stills has a gift. But he is a dolphin now and the Dannell Ellerbe and a third in 2015 on P.J. Williams is full of unanswered questions because of IR issues. A.J.Klein was my pick. He was everything he was billed as. A Swiss Army Knife LB.

Rufus Johnson say what? shame part about it is the Pats love the kid for special teams and DE depth. Never understood Rob trying to make a OLB out of a kid 6'5/272.

So 5 players with 7 picks and one of those goes Roger Goodell so by 2014 standards this was a home run.

Trading up for John Jenkins and losing both Rufus Johnson and to some extent Sills made me drop the grade to C.

Lets see how players do under DA. getting rid of rob alone could change everything

With Rob thrown into the evaluations I should have included an Incomplete as an option

Yep. JJ isn't horrible be he certainly isn't good either. Kind of soft (wanted Brandon Williams in the draft), Kevin Williams played limited minutes had almost as many tackles. In my mind, an upgrade is necessary.

If anything we need a pocket closing NT to help the ends.
