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. |

Saints and the NFL Draft
browner is being picked as the bust of the draft.
later this afternnon I\"m gonna try to post what I think that the aaint\'s should do..but it goes a little something like: trade howard for picks, sign smith at safety-in the first grab davis and merriman, and later (3rd) grab Munoz at tackle or britt. In the second grab the best cb available. |

Saints and the NFL Draft
Hey I am on the Browner bandwagon, but I wouldn\'t be opposed to a Marlin Jackson or Corey Webster in the second, if they last to our pick.
However....the combine is still the most overrated event in all of pro football. It\'s all about what players do in pads on Sunday afternoon. [Edited on 7/3/2005 by GoldenTomb] |

everything I\'m reading on browner says he should never have come out...and if you go back and look at his stats there probably right.
plus CB is the hardest position to get a read on in the draft-or so says randy Mueller. |
