Re: Everything to know about Marshon Lattimore
 

With Houston trading up for a QB at 12 makes me bet Houston called us to jump ahead of Cleveland. Cleveland picked up a first rounder in 2018. That added fuel to the fire for me. Then again this deal might have been part of the deal that let Houston dump Brock Osweiler.

Taking a CB with his injury history and knowing the lengths OSU went through to keep him on the field in 2016 made me shake my head even more. Athleticism is their no doubt. Now to keep him out of the tub. I watched the kid a lot and liked Gareon Conley more.

Not only do I have to watch Christian McCaffrey twice a year but I also have to watch O.J. Howard twice a year after we passed on him. In five years I better not feel the same I do do now as Howard becomes one of the best TE in the NFL and Fleener cashes in on that god awful contract the saints signed him too. Managing the cap through the draft is something the saints stink at. :dunce:

Here to Marshon Lattimore staying healthy and proving me wrong.:brood:

Ryan Ramczyk I can accept a lot easier. He played all season long with the injury so it probably wont be an chronic issue. One year starter sure but unlike Peat who only played LT Ryan played OT and OG and swung from side to side in practices. He is a solid RT prospect to take over for Zack, that has a swing skill set. Our jumbo package will be killer.

We drafted our future RT? A year behind Zach and doing spot duties will only make him better. He may beat Zach out year 1

Pick 42? I am screaming a True FS or another CB

If Lattimore can stay healthy, get coached up and match the pro bowls of Howard.

This has a chance of being an A+ round 1.

Re: Everything to know about Marshon Lattimore
 

I noticed a couple of things and I am seeing how they play out. Saints tend to be drafting a player on each level. So we go DB, now OL. Look for them to draft DL, LB, offensive back field, WR.

I think they like the idea of adding fresh blook on each level on O and D.

Re: Everything to know about Marshon Lattimore
 

I'm not in the wow factor here. Lattimore, not pleased with this pick . So we pick up a kid who has yet some injury history, and lack of experience. I think I'm not happy cause I wanted a DE at 11. Then some are saying we picked up a tackle for the future, how does that help our Defense now.
I prey Lattimore is all what he needs to be . Otherwise we tanked the 11th pick again.

Re: Everything to know about Marshon Lattimore
 

Whilst he's probably a solid player, I don't agree with the pick.

We have 100's of DB's and a lack of any real talent besides Cam Jordan at DE, the obvious choice was to get someone to start opposite it him.

But once again Sean Payton is in love with DB's and can't fathom that bolstering up front first will have a knock on effect, helping out the back end.

Looks small on film.
Doesn't shed blocks.
WRs in our division are tall and fast.
Left the combine with hip stiffness.

Did we spend our #1 pick on a slot CB who may have problems staying healthy?

Re: Everything to know about Marshon Lattimore
 

Yes. And what's worse is that we passed on a once every decade or so type of LB.. And why? Because he's not cuddly wuddly widdle sweetie pie? I thought I would've gotten over it by now but I'm still just as pissed off as I was when Lattimore's name was called. Then to see Foster come off the board at 31 made me want to vomit. I literally had no reaction to our second pick because I ran out of f***s to give.

Re: Everything to know about Marshon Lattimore
 

Despite all that, he was still the top rated CB by just about every scout out there.

Re: Everything to know about Marshon Lattimore
 

-Only allowed 18 receptions all year and a QB rating of 30.
-Allowed an NFL passer rating of just 2.8 on passes thrown into his coverage on slants.
-Routinely blanketed receivers out of the play. Matched receivers stride for stride on go routes,
allowing just two of the 12 passes thrown into his coverage on go routes to be caught.

Saints drafted a top 5 talent & is a flat out baller & play maker. Not sure what else people want from a Pro prospect at #11.

I saw somewhere last night; someone was saying that it was actually more efficient to throw the ball away than to throw against Lattimore... :bng:
