Seems the sort of LB we need. Bit of speed and coverage LB.

Sounds like he needs a bit of meat on his bones though

He has graded well ... if he goes to any other school not named Vanderbilt, he probably has more pre draft "buzz" & possible day 1 selection. Not sure if he is on the Saints board though.

And yes, the kid is rather lean. Definitely will need to add more bulk.

Re: Day 2:
 
Still a lot of talent on the board ...

I wish we had two picks in the 2nd.

Edit: Demarcus Walker (FSU) had 16 sacks last season. Surely he is off the board after tonight.

nola_swammi 04-28-2017 04:12 PM

Re: Day 2:
 
Curtis Samuel or Obi Melifonwu will be my preferred choice in the second


Jordan Willis and Fabian Moreau preferred choice in 3rd

Re: Day 2:
 
Best Player Available will be WR Cooper Kupp...

Im fully expecting a pass rusher to be left on the board for Webb

I still think it's a DE and the guy out of Florida State.

Re: Day 2:
 
Foster been saying Saints were on the phone and he hung up on the front office when another call came in from San Fran

Was going to be the pick at 32. Could have had him for the Pats comp pick

Damarcus Walker? I hope so...

Re: Day 2:
 
Wtf!,, we were going to get Foster if we didn't call him and gave him a heads up. The 49ers traded up only cause Foster gave them the heads up the saints were about to pick him

Huh? The 49ers called him to welcome him to the team when he was on the phone with the Saints... The 49ers had already made their pick before they even knew the Saints were on the phone with him

I am trying to get the video up on here, he told lynch that they had the 33 or 34 pick and the saints about to pick him

Doesn't mean anything when the 49ers were calling him to tell him they just sent their pick in to select him and welcome him to the team...

Scooped? Reuben Foster said Saints were drafting him before 49ers traded up | Saints | theadvocate.com

Re: Day 2:
 
I have the interview video on Twitter he claimed this process was happening before the trade

|Mitch| 04-28-2017 04:57 PM

Re: Day 2:
 
Great! You proved your point. I'm glad they did, unsure about he may have to have shoulder surgery before the season...

I'll gladly accept one of the top tackles in the draft, especially with the seemingly determination to run the ball more this season

COOPER KUPP WR - EASTERN WASHINGTON BIG SKY
COMBINE RESULTS GRADE 5.77
4.62 SEC 31.0 INCH 116.0 INCH 6.75 SEC 4.08 SEC
6'2" HEIGHT 204 LBS WEIGHT
31 1/2" ARM LENGTH 9 1/2" HANDS
ANALYSIS

STRENGTHS Elite level of production for any level of football. Finished career as Division I career leader in receptions, yards and touchdowns. Hands are natural and strong. Catches passes like his idol, Larry Fitzgerald. Plucks it away from his body and immediately tucks it away. Utilizes route speed variances to create deep-ball opportunities. Extremely confident and competitive. Bodies up cornerbacks to win contested catches. Believes he can catch every throw and is able to make the circus grab look easy at times. Excellent ball-tracker. Uses force and leverage at break points to help create room out of his cuts. Manipulates coverage with head fakes and stutter-steps. Strong football bloodlines; grandfather played for years as an NFL guard and father was drafted by Giants as fifth-round quarterback in 1990.

Mew..it's over with. I would have liked Foster but we can still get a solid defender. He is also a high risk player. Once he gets all that money no telling what happens. As one NFL player said, if you had issues before the money makes it worse. Well he does and odds are they will get worse.

|Mitch| 04-28-2017 04:59 PM

Re: Day 2:
 
Demarcus Walker, Derek Rivers, or Jordan Willis and we can then rest a little easier on the pass rush issue...

The 49ers said their medical staff does not believe first-round pick Reuben Foster will need additional shoulder surgery and he should be cleared in time for the start of training camp.

The Alabama linebacker, considered one of the top prospects entering the draft, almost slid out of the first round, in part, because of medical concerns, most centered upon a problematic shoulder that required postseason surgery to repair labrum and rotator cuff damage.
Red Flag! :doh:

I like Obi Melifonwu 6'4" 219 lbs. would be a definite help against the big receivers in the NFCS

nola_swammi 04-28-2017 05:16 PM

Re: Day 2:
 
I like Obi hope we get him but if we end up with Curtis Samuel I wouldn't be upset. He could play rb and be the next Sproles or Bush

I don't know I am sitting here and thinking it wouldn't be a bad thing for the Saints to move up and take KING to start the second round.

Three picks today. We did very well yesterday.........I'm hoping for a repeat performance today. :bng:
