Derwin James SS/FS/KR Florida State 6201 211 4.52 #3 rSo

Justin Reid FS/SS Stanford 6010 204 4.57 #8 Jr

Tremaine Edmunds OLB/ILB/SS Virginia Tech 6042 236 4.82 #49 Jr

Jordan Whitehead*, S, Pittsburgh
He scares me

R1 Ronnie Harrison - coverage SS out side the box like Kenny
R3 Kyzir White - In the slot/box like Bell
Kenny walks and we pray for comp pick
Bell gets traded to move up in round 3

Of all the safeties I really like Kyzir White development. He is almost as good as Marcus Allen against the run. His coverage skills inside improved more than Allen. he just does not get the respect I think he deserves.

Roll the dice on Marcus Allen and if the coverage skills do develop, he just might be the best all around safety of the bunch in the long run.

I do like DeShon Elliott but I get that over hyped gut feeling with him, my gut has been wrong more times than I care to admit

mid to late round steal? keep an eye on
Micah Hannemann SS/FS BYU 6001 200 4.56 #7 rSr

I really did not expect him to come out. Can not wait to see his 40, shuttle and cone. they list him as a 4.79 guy. I swear he does not play at that speed. Seems faster or just really quick reacting with excellent instincts. maybe both

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

It is all there. Whats not to like? His 2016 and 2017 tape to be honest. A ton of flashes.

Interviews with him and the Texas coaching staff will make or break him IMO.

Was he used to cover up for the lack of talent around him?
Yes ok makes some sense

That would explain all the jumping around he did. Even then i question his flexibility. ILB or OLB his play was solid but nothing overly impressive.

No? I am worried about the pick and if he has his head on straight.

Of all the players with round 1 talent the most disappointing players for me were

Tarvarus McFadden CB Florida State* 6012 198 4.49 #4 Jr
Malik Jefferson SLB/MLB/WLB Texas* 6015 238 4.57 #46 Jr
Vita Vea DT Washington 6041 332 5.19 #50 rJr

Right now I would rather roll the dice on a one year wonder like
Josh Jackson CB/WR/FS Iowa 6012 185 4.50 #15 rJr

let see what the draft process reviles. I am hoping for the best really

If any one has in sight on him lets hear it.

Re: 2018 NFL Draft Prospects - Saints
 

Scouts believe Vander Esch is the player people are sleeping on at the linebacker position, as many have compared him to former NFL star Brian Urlacher -- another Mountain West product. There is a belief Vander Esch could end up sliding into the bottom half of Round 1. As we reported back in November, the Week 11 riser was described by many in the scouting community as a special player at the next level.

I'd be very surprised if the Leighton kid is selected in the 1st round. That's a reach.
