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

I'll just leave it here ...

Trey Hendrickson arm length: 32"

Derek Barnett arm length: 32 1/8"

If Trey develops proper technique, he will create space and openings to beat his man on a consistent basis.

Coach em up (see new D line coach Ryan Nielsen).

Expecting a lot from our new D line coach Ryan Nielsen and New LB coach Mike Nolan.

Some things just don't make sense huh K? Now that I think about it, the tyrannosaurus had short arms too.

Re: 2017 Draft Day 2 - Rounds 2 and 3
 

Hendrickson is an inch taller, ran .2 secs quicker in the 40, verticled him by 2 inches, and broad jumped him by 5 inches, .22 secs quicker in the 20 yard shuffle, .1 sec slower in the three cone drill,

Lack of technique and playing at a C-USA school seems to be his downfall...

I guarantee next year the Saints will be drafting a DE/PR in the first 2 rounds, because they seal leaks with ducktape

Re: 2017 Draft Day 2 - Rounds 2 and 3
 

Bunch of new folks on the coaching staff whose resumes look a lot stouter than duct tape. That's where our hemorrhages have really been happening. We could very well be at the point of having the luxury of shopping for an as yet unneeded successor to Drew in a very good draft class of QBs next year.

Re: 2017 Draft Day 2 - Rounds 2 and 3
 

I'm just turning a negative into a positive. Trey will benefit by having a good D line coach to help him with his craft. I've already read posters compare Trey to Tull (which is unfair). Tull didn't even have a pass rushing technique. If he had no speed, he wouldn't have won any one on one battles.

I think Mitch or Hagan uploaded a tape on new D line hire Nielsen where he was coaching "one arm is longer than two", which means to engage in with a single arm and body and not allow offensive lineman to get both hands inside the shoulder pad/chest area. Basic technique and a huge part of becoming an effective pass rusher.

Coach em up to their potential & turn a weakness into strength :cool:.
