Re: 2018 NFL Draft Prospects - Saints
Really warming to the idea of moving Mr. Glass, Terron Armstead, and allowing Peat to settle in and actually practice all week and play Tackle...
Take the second round pick for Peat and draft a distinguised interior lineman... Doubt Nelson falls past where former Notre Dame Guard Zach Martin went in the 2014 NFL Draft, Pick 16, Dallas... But then again, haven't seen guards go in the Top 25 since 2014... |

2018 OT crop looks yo be a pretty deep and solid group Round 4/5 ?

Re: 2018 NFL Draft Prospects - Saints
Todd McShay has released his first 2018 mock draft. With the 28th pick the New Orleans Saints select...
Maurice Hurst, DT, Michigan Height: 6-2. Weight: 282. Projected 40 Time: 4.95. Projected Round (2018): 1-3. Just for reference I went back to see what he predicted for us in his first one last year and he had us taking CB Marlon Humphrey @ 8. |

Re: 2018 NFL Draft Prospects - Saints
Problem is that we don’t need another small DT. What we need is a big, stout block-eater. I like Hagan’s idea of signing DaQuan Jones (6-4, 322 lbs) in free agency.

Re: 2018 NFL Draft Prospects - Saints
My FA targets in no particular order :
WR- Jarvis Landry (probably a pipe dream but is a high priority for me) OLB - Nigel Bradham MLB Tahir Whitehead LB - Zach Brown DE- Ziggy Ansah (sleeper pick) TE - Cameron Brate (he'll give you equal or more consistent production than Fleener & won't command top $) Footnote - notice I've listed the linebacker position multiple times? Saints were 10 seconds too late in getting Reuben Foster, we also went after Hightower & more recently Bowman. My spider senses tell me that Mike Nolan is looking for a LB who can cover, rush the QB & is a fast sideline to sideline guy with above avg instincts. My hope is that Jeff Ireland will continue to build on a terrific 2017 draft & find that stud LB (either FA or draft) we are really missing in the middle on D. |

Re: 2018 NFL Draft Prospects - Saints
Nice list K but we got Drew to sign. That is why I am still basement shopping
I missed TE - Cameron Brate, it would be nice to get him back. My Top "Big Ugly" Bang for the Buck in 2018 1) DaQuan Jones DT/DE Titians 6036 322 5.35 #90 R4 2014 Others 2) Dontae Johnson CB/FS 49ers 6021 208 4.45 4th rd 2014 3) Charles Simms RB Tampa 6000 214 4.46 RD3 2014 4) Christian Jones OLB/ILB CHI 6031 249 4.68 2017 UDFA 5) Chris Smith DE Cincinati 6010 266 4.71 CIN 25 RD 5 2014 If we go big bucks Jarvis Landry WR Miami or Kyle Fuller CB Chicago Draft I am really starting to like Fred Warner DE/OLB BYU 6025 228 4.68 #4 Sr 3 year starter, a physical striker who wraps his arms for the secure tackle. Possesses the agility and length to harass the quarterback in coverage or on the rush. Warner has thrived in both a 3-4 and 4-3 defensive scheme. Line him up in space or drop him into coverage against running backs. He is very athletic, and has a knack for making big plays.Another Kyle Van Noy? |
