Re: 2017 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

Man, what's with signing these short lifers with injuries?!? WTH is doing the physicals?!? A one-eyed, peg-legged crack head could pass a physical with the Saints right now...

Re: 2017 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

Is there some kind of advantage to a release with an injury designation? Does it give the player a little travel money that doesn't count against the cap, or give the team some kind of extra bonus in signing other players?

Re: 2017 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

We have a different view on first round picks as we both know. BPA wins out over needs in round 1 in my perfect world no matter how bad you are hurting at a position. rather spend two picks later on to fill that position of need:)

Safest pick in the draft to date? IMO
offense - Mike McGlinchey OT Notre Dame 6072 213 5.27 #68 rSr
defense - Bradley Chubb DE N.C. State 6031 273 4.86 #9 Sr

My Top Hype Watch

offense

Derrius Guice RB LSU 5106 222 4.45 #5 Jr

If he pans out on the hype is a perfect fit for the offense. Adds a few more years to Drews playing time. Watch him pass blocking and picking up blitzes. the offering of cap flexibility is a drum i am really tired of beating.

defense

Vita Vea DT Washington 6041 332 5.19 #50 rJr

If he lives up to the hype this year players like this do not come around every year. He is in the running for my FREAK stamp of approval

Malik Jefferson SLB/MLB/WLB Texas* 6015 238 4.57 #46 Jr

Nothing so far does not scream FREAK to me here. he has to be dumber than a door nail not be on a short list.

I still have not heard an argument of Lattimore over OJ Howard that changes my mind. Howard is the freak pick we will regret not making a first round pick. Especially when we have to pay Coby Fleener $8mill in 2018 and $9mill in 2019 because we have no one better to replace him with. cap drum again

But Latt is a saint so he has 4 years to prove that tendon can hold up.

My BPA approach history. Some crow and some i told you so

4 years and watching
2016 -LT/RG Laremy Tunsil Ole Miss
2015 - WR DeVante Parker Louiville (so far the biggest crow sandwich)
2014 - SS Deone Bucannon Washington St
2013 - LB Alec Ogletree Georgia

Answered already.
2012 - LB Nick Perry USC
2011 - DE Cameron Jordan California
2010 - CB Patrick Robinson FSU
2009 - LB Brian Cushing USC
2008 - LB Keith Rivers USC
2007 - G Ben Grubbs Auburn
2006 - OT D'Brickashaw Ferguson Virginia

Re: 2017 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

If a player is waived with injury designation they can be placed upon the releasing team's IR if the player clears waivers (none of the other 31 teams claims the player.)

It looks like the Saints want to keep him for next year. He could have either had an injury coming in and they hoped it would heal or he sustained one in camp.

Re: 2017 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

Or simply redshirt him?

Re: 2017 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

In a way. They came up with that status to keep a team from stashing players that are not truly injured on the IR. If a player is vested (has played a certain number of games) you CAN place them directly on IR. You can't do the same with non-vested players. Thus the "waived with injury designation" used. Now any other team, if they truly think the player isn't injured can claim him. But then THEY can't place him on IR until they also do the "waived with injury designation" move.

Makes sense. Thanks!

Re: 2017 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

Guice will end up in Cleveland :rolleyes:. But it's good to see another young cat with high expectations come out of my high school (Catholic High). We've had a nice run with RB's that have excelled at the next level (Warrick Dunn & Travis Minor).
