I had those very same thoughts about Lattimore.

Doesn't matter, Payton is bringing Manziel back next season if he proves he can stay on the wagon for a year...

Draft season is still a long ways away, teams get flights of fancy in the early spring and strange things happen (i.e. Lattimore)...

The link is to QB rankings for most of the collegiate prospects and there are more than a few that should interest this year...

I hope Saints FO is targeting another MLB early on (see Reuben Foster) ...

The Ohio State - Jerome Baker
Clemson - Kendall Joseph
Texas - Malik Jefferson
Florida State - Matthew Thomas

Most are sideline to sideline assassins & possible Day 1 impact guys.

Thoughts? Opinions?

Thoughts? Opinions?

Malik Jefferson SLB/MLB/WLB Texas* 6015 238 4.57 #46 Jr

not sure about him. Is his play really that disappointing or is he once again asked to do too much on such a bad Texas defense?

Jerome Baker OLB/ILB Ohio State 6005 225 4.62 #17 Jr

He is an interesting prospect but I wonder about his size as a MLB. Do we add yet another WLB?

Kendall Joseph ILB Clemson 5111 225 4.78 #34 rJr

he is even smaller

Matthew Thomas OLB/ILB Florida State 6025 227 4.67 #6 rSr

Now your talking a solid day 2/3 upside pick injuries, suspensions issues
injuries, suspensions

A team suspension for violation of team rules 2014.

He was suspended again for the entire 2015 season.

Rashaan Evans ILB/OLB Alabama 6021 232 4.73 #32 Sr

I think he would work well with Klien

over all I am not excited by this class of LB.

I would ... that 2016 defense played a whole lot better when Ellerbe was in the starting lineup. Too bad he couldn't stay somewhat healthy in NO. We need a younger, healthier version of Danelle.

Overall we're better at the LB positions, however not fast enough as a unit.

That is why I would kick the tires on cheap young solid FA like

Christian Jones OLB/ILB Chicago 6031 249 4.68 UDFA

Speed rush skills?

Marquis Haynes DE/OLB? Ole Miss 6021 222 4.63 #10 Sr

Speed IR risk pick

Skai Moore LB South Carolina 6021 218 4.65 #10 Sr

Hagan,

Appreciate the insight brother. Your analysis as it relates to free agents, draft picks etc have been spot on over the years.

I owe you an apology on AJ Klein. You were dead right in your scouting report and I was dead wrong.

It is always a crap shoot and when you debate me you make me dig deep and ponder my reasoning. You have steered me away from more than a few I was high on and you were right.

keep up the challenges I appreciate them. I enjoy them

I have no issue with eating crow as you know.

As for the spot on part? I would not go that far

AJ I wanted in the draft and kept a close eye on. The same goes for DaQuan Jones DT/DE Titians. He is a DT miss played as a 34 DE I pray for FA after their rookie contracts run out if they prove themselves.

If we all keep beating each over the head we can make a dynasty out of the saints

Total upside pick and keeps the OSU connection alive?

Parris Campbell WR/KR Ohio State 6002 208 4.39 #21 rJr

IR steal?

Deebo Samuel WR/KR South Carolina 5110 208 4.50 #1 rJr

I am chasing down a few 7/UDFA odd balls

Anthony Miller, WR, Memphis 5106 190 4.53 #3 rSr
D.J. Moore WR Maryland 5096 215 4.55 #1 Jr
Brandon Shed, WR, Hobart 6’4
Sergio Bailey II WR./KR Eastern Michigan 5112 186 #23 SR
Jake Wieneke WR South Dakota State 6031 215 4.59
Sergio Bailey II WR./KR Eastern Michigan 5112 186 #23 SR
