Anzalone was Mayocks fifth best LB; for what it's worth...

Now that cooler heads have prevailed, I can honestly say I'm loving our draft. I wasn't thrilled about giving up next year's 2nd rounder but I really like Alvin Kamara so I can live with it. The Anzalone pick wasn't my favorite choice but I'll be optimistic and wait and see how he does.

All in all, I'm pretty darn excited about what we're doing! One more pick today... Maybe we'll find a real diamond in the rough.

3. Hendrickson finished his senior season number one nationally in blocked kicks (4), number 21 in sacks (.79 per game) and number 32 in tackles for a loss.

That's interesting...

Trey Hendrickson (FAU DE) Shrine Game 2017 - YouTube

New Orleans Saints
Draft picks: Marshon Lattimore (No. 11 overall), Ryan Ramczyk (No. 32 overall), Marcus Williams (No. 42 overall), Alvin Kamara (No. 67 overall), Alex Anzalone (No. 76 overall), Trey Hendrickson (No. 103 overall)
Day 1 grade: A-
Day 2 grade: A-
Overall grade: A-
The skinny: The Saints got a safety to own the back half in Marcus Williams, an athletic and hard-hitting player from Utah, and then they found running back Alvin Kamara waiting for them. They traded away a future second-round pick to get him, though. Not sure I love the future pick trade, though Kamara's a very good player. Alex Anzalone has great potential as a cover linebacker and blitzer, but he needs to stay healthy. New Orleans' pass rush got an upgrade with a hustling, powerful guy in Trey Hendrickson. He was a good value in the third round. Finding a Day 3 quarterback to eventually replace Drew Brees is a must! Lattimore is the best cover man in the draft, and a no-brainer at No. 11. Then, instead of continuing to bolster the defense, they improved the offensive line by picking up-and-coming left tackle Ryan Ramczyk. But should they have picked defensive end Jordan Willis? Maybe linebacker Raekwon McMillan from Ohio State? It will be interesting to see how they continue to build talent on that side of the ball.

Like the secondary picks also seems the DL will be better than assumed otherwise we go DE early. They must feel confident we will get pressure with what we have.

The James White style RB is also smart. Think we get two starters out of this draft. Everyone else PS or cut. Anything more than that and we hit pay dirt.

Yep. Coaches are high on him but the repeated injuries are very concerning for me too. See if he can contribute on special teams and go from there.

Remember former 5 star Gator and Saint Ronald Powell? Just couldn't stay healthy.

Ronald Powell tore his ACL twice his junior year and never was the same again...

Quite a big difference from a kid who had shoulder problems(which haven't been a problem since his junior year) and a broken forearm last year...

Look, we can all put as much shine as we want on it, but the guy has had injuries and they're a concern. That's just simply the truth. You hope they're behind him, but every year Ellerbe misses 8 games. Just the way it is. It is a shame because ellerbe is such a difference maker when in there. Who knows what will become of this kid. Clearly has talent and can play, but yeah injuries are a concern. Have to hope for the best
