DRAFT PROSPECTS EACH NFL TEAM SHOULD BE WATCHING DURING BOWL SEASON
https://www.profootballfocus.com/dra...o-bowl-season/ New Orleans Saints Reuben Foster, LB, Alabama (Peach Bowl vs. Washington, Dec. 31) Jourdan Lewis, CB, Michigan (Orange Bowl vs. Florida State, Dec. 30) The linebacker position has been terrible in New Orleans in recent years, and Foster was the nation’s top-graded player at the position this season. The value of the three-down linebacker may be higher than ever, and he has the power and block-shedding to attack the run, as well as the athleticism to play both man or zone coverage. While adding more defensive-line depth may be an intriguing option for the Saints, getting a three-down presence like Foster would be an even better fit. They can also look to add talent on the outside in the secondary, where a guy like Lewis could shine opposite CB Delvin Breaux. He’ll get the “undersized” label coming out of the draft, but Lewis has the man-coverage skills to stay with the better route-runners the NFL has to offer. He’s gotten his hands on as many passes as the receivers he’s covered this season (two interceptions and eight pass breakups vs. 10 receptions allowed on 34 targets), and his 39.8 passer rating allowed over the last three years is the equivalent of throwing the ball into the dirt on every pass. |

Re: Saints draft position as of 12/19/16
odds are he will be long gone by the time we pick. top 10 talent? dam close
Boobie prize? Zach Cunningham MLB/OLB Vanderbilt 6032 230 4.74 #41 rJr round 2? I am really liking Ryan Anderson OLB Alabama 6021 253 4.67 #22 rJr Jourdan Lewis CB Michigan 5095 176 4.43 #26 Sr i understand the love but needing to stand on his toes to be 5'10" is a killer at the pro level. Want to take a risk on different might mouse? who has a higher ceiling than Lewis? *Adoree' Jackson CB/WR/KR USC 5105 186 4.43 #2 Jr First year he has really playing CB full time and he has been amazing. Or roll the dice in round one on the player with probably ,“upside is through the roof,” in the draft? 1a) Marlon Humphrey CB/FS Alabama 6005 196 4.49 #26 rSo Bama CB worry me but he arguably the most complete corner as a rSo scary enough as it is. 1b) O.J. Howard TE Alabama 6055 251 4.57 #88 Sr as a receiver he’s still untapped Round 1 Starts opposite Delvin Breaux day 1 Marlon Humphrey CB/FS Alabama 6005 196 4.49 #26 rSo Round 2 Steps in to the slot day1 *Adoree' Jackson CB/WR/KR USC 5105 186 4.43 #2 Jr Round 3 Takes over at FS day 1 Eddie Jackson FS/SS Alabama 6000 194 4.53 #4 Sr Round 4 - Kevin King FS/CB Washington 6032 192 4.56 #20 Sr Round 5 - Rasul Douglas CB West Virginia:6012 208 4.56 #13 rSr Round 6 - Channing Stribling CB/FSMichigan 6011 176 4.52 #8 Sr Round 7 - Jeremy Cutrer CB/FS Middle Tennesse 6011 170 4.49 #8 Sr |
