We drafted 6 of Mayocks top 70
 
Marshon Lattimore #6 Drafted 11
Ryan Ramyczk #21 Drafted 32
Marques Williams #45 Drafted 42
Alvin Kamara #27 Drafted 67
Alex Anzalone #60 Drafted 76
Trey Hendrickson # 67 Drafted 103

That's a lot of talent to add on the first two days of the draft to our roster.

Kamara may play a huge role in the passing game, out of the backfield and in the slot. For all the talk Mccaffery got, there's likely not much difference between them.

So far, A-.

Hell the more i read about the "injury prone" Anzalone the less I hate the pick.

Broken bones heal well and his shoulders appear to be fully healed before the broken arm.

I like the guys we got, I just wish we had addressed D end more thoroughly.

I like the Trey Hendrickson pick, I just hope he doesn't turn out like Davis Tull.

Tull had a high sack count and didn't last a year with us.

That looks great on paper but let's hold off anointing them until we see them on the field

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.

Either they need to shut down their athletic programs or they need to be willing to make exceptions for any of these athletes who want to try to turn pro. Especially if the kid gets drafted. Now this young man will probably never get another shot in the NFL. The odds are already stacked against you coming from such a program and now you have to do 2 years active duty before you can even think of football again. By then he won't even be an afterthought anymore.

They enter those programs knowing exactly what's expected of them. They aren't going to those schools to play sports. They're going there out of a sense of service and love of country. Playing sports is just a bonus. Athletics in that environment is incredibly important in building morale and team spirit. Very few players out of the academies will be drafted. Honor their love of country, their love of the game and their ability to actually have their priorities straight.
