What Is Stephone Anthony's Trade Value?

K Major · 03-22-2017, 08:24 AM

IIRC, Nola (Katzenstein) did an interview with Jeff Ireland right around Senior bowl weekend and they specifically spoke about Anthony. I don't think the Saints are ready to give up on Stephone.

I'd have backup for Ellerbe who really showed something last season...

Or draft Foster to replace him, let him acclimate to the NFL game...

But I wouldn't just get rid of Ellerbe without a plan to improve the position...

What is Anthony worth....Let's see here...Do you have an old half eaten corn dog? Ok...Take the stick out and break it in half.

There ya go.

+1. When Ellerbe was available last season, he has been above average. I don't have the Saints sack #'s available but last season I'm sure he is top 5 on the team in sacks, QB hurries & QB tackles for losses.

Even in a limited role, that is solid production we must have.

Ellerbe came back mid season and got a sack in 3 straight games.

Anthony just looked lost, losing outside contain, messing up his coverage assignments, holding penalties etc

I sincerely hope Mike Nolan can help him.

I think the X factor on defense will be coach Mike Nolan. It's hard to ignore what he brings to the table as a coach. Took the Ravens D to another level, polished up Patrick Willis in the middle (49er land), turned a 30th ranked defense in Denver (McDaniels was HC at the time) to top 10 within one year & had similar results in Miami.

There is no doubt in my mind Nolan will help Anthony this season

I say keep the kid and see what happens. Always can do a trade at the deadline.

I think a 3-4 team might find him useful.....not so much in a 4-3.
