Pete Prisco Grades The Saints Draft
 
They probably thought they had no chance to get Ohio State corner Marshon Lattimore when the draft started, but they end up getting him in the 11th spot. That was a nice pick of the top corner. I didn't love the pick of Wisconsin tackle Ryan Ramczyk with the 32nd pick -- he has some medical issues and is that really a major need? -- but they added some nice players later in Utah safety Marcus Williams in the second and pass rusher Troy Hendrickson in third. I also think third-round linebacker Alex Anzalone from Florida has a chance to a long-time starter if he stays healthy. That's a big if, based on his career.

Grade: B

Hate to get too excited or to upset over a draft right away. How many years do they say to wait before you judge a draft? 3?

I think the organization did the best job they could with the information they had and I would give them a solid A not an A+ but an A! They addressed all of our needs and then some. We'll get a QB next year!

WHODAT!

I'm just ready to see these guys in action. It's rare that you hit on more than 2 or 3 players in the draft, if any at all, so after its all said and done I always remember that. I'm just very excited to see our team with these new additions, and I'll keep saying we need to sign Sam Shields and Gary Barnidge just in case there's somebody from the Saints front office that checks out the boards to see what the fan morale is.

Absolutely! I almost started a thread for Barnidge when I heard he was released. I would bet the Barn yard dog is better than the pretty boy we wasted to much money on.

Going to call it now, biggest impact player from the draft will be Kamara. He will finally unseat the pathetic Cadet as the scat back.

Look for him to play slot WR, PR, KR, 3rd RB. Has potential to be better than sproles.

Lattimore will be good, but Kamara is a sure bet.

Lattimore will have the biggest impact for us...

Ramzcyzk will save the season when he comes back healthy...

Kamara will have to work with Sproles-like work ethic to have impact...

Anzalone will have to get Stupar to bring him along quickly...

Hendrickson will have to just adjust to NFL speed to make it happen...

Al will need to stay out of trouble...
