watch him struggle to shed blocks in games against Florida State and Texas A&M.

Worse case? Another Sedrick Ellis? Do not see see it
Best case? Another Arron Donald? Do not see it
Media favorite comparison? Another Kawann Short? I do not see it.
So were will he end up? this is what makes pre draft to the real world so much fun.


Will he be good? Probably
Will he be great? doubt it
Will he be all pro? seriously doubt it

I just do not see him as a corner stone of defense. A good piece for the sum of whole.

So he was a reach IMO at 12.

Draft ranking? mid 20s or lower. When the season ended he was a solid round two guy by most. Still think Kenny Clark was better player during the season than Rankings and if you want a quick big guy he was a safer pick.

Nick Fairley will make or break Rankings. Unless a quality starting NT drops from the sky. Do not put Rankings on the opposite side of Jordan. Sandwich him between Fairley and Jordan. That is what I am expecting

Rankings reminds me of Peat -
lacks a ‘mean streak’
standard run of the Mill ‘high floor low ceiling’ prospect.

That was basically how I saw this kid.

But he is saints now so saddle up the doggies and lets see what you got big boy.

We signed 3 wr rookie free agents, 2 are big like 6"3 and both have good hands. One wr is 5"7. All 3 have a shot. We signed a rookie db from A&M I like and a safety from Ole Miss who I think looks great. Oh we signed a white rookie wr who benched 225 27 times and reminds me of the white receiver in New England. The Cal rb is interesting. He may get some time in the slot. Cant wait to see em all play.

Rankins - Selected exactly where he was projected and fits a need perfectly (The most disruptive interior rusher of the class, penetrating due to his burst, agility and NFL-ready hand play.
Overall Rank: 14
Position Rank: 1 )

Thomas - Selected right where he was projected and fits a need perfectly (NFL COMPARISON Charles Johnson)

Vonn Bell - No 1 ranked FS in the draft. Selected right where he was projected and fits a need perfectly

as far as ridiculous? time will tell and i stand by what i said during the draft

with that said i will be cheering the draft on to make me eat crow.

The only reach I see might have been Onyemata......but not much. The sky is the limit for that ultra talented young man. If he gets in some snaps and hones his skills this year he'll be a valuable asset next year. What else do you want from a fourth round draft choice? Oh, and Lasco was a steal!!! he could lead this team in jersey sales for years.
