Saints and the NFL Draft
For those of you who are thinking Brandon Browner-CB-Oregon State is a sure fire first round pick because of name recognition, think again. He was not impressive in Indianapolis at the combine. Here are some numbers for you to consider:
Ht: 6034 Wt: 221 Reps: 13 40: 4.68 and 4.73(electronic times) Vertical: 36.5" Although these are just his workout numbers, the bottom line is that this kid's body control and straight line speed will be killers for a CB in the NFL. I am not big on these monsterous sized CB's. Other CB's to consider: Ronald Bartell-CB-Howard Ht: 6012 Wt: 211 Reps: 21 40: 4.43 and 4.46(electronic) Vertical: 35.5" Marlin Jackson-CB-Michigan Ht: 6005 Wt: 198 Reps: 23 40: 4.58 and 4.62(Electronic) Vertical: 36" Carlos Rogers-CB-Auburn Ht: 6003 Wt: 196 Reps: 15 40: 4.46 and 4.50(electronic) Vertical: 40.5" Justin Miller-CB-Clemson Ht: 5096 Wt: 201 Reps: 15 40: 4.49(twice/electronic) Vertical: 41.5" Stanford Routt-CB-Houston Ht: 6013 Wt: 193 Reps: Didn't bench-Own Choice 40: 4.39(twice/electronic) Vertical: 36.5" Fabian Washington-CB-Nebraska Ht: 5104 Wt: 188 Reps:18 40: 4.33 and 4.37(Electronic) Vertical: 41.5" Stanley Wilson-CB-Stanford Ht: 5116 Wt: 186 Reps: 14 40: 4.42 and 4.40(electronic) Vertical: 39.5" These are all players who have peaked my interest. Miller and Washington are both underclassmen. I know they really like Stannford Routt and he could be an option with our early second round pick. He's a big CB with amazing speed and athleticism. He's still raw, but has a ton of upside and he could be a nice addition as athleticism in our secondary. I can always rund own other positions, but CB seems to be what everyone was talking about earlier in another thread. I still think the first round pick will be a LB or an OT regardless of who we sign in FA. Will be interesting to see what direction we go in. |
