@nfldraftscout
There’s a lot of talk Taven Bryan will be not only a first round pick but potentially a top 25 player. Teams love his athleticism and potential. Keep an eye on the Falcons for him
8:49 AM · Apr 8, 2018

He does fit the Falcons defense really well.

Richmond QB Kyle Lauletta had a private workout with the #Saints recently, per source. Was also told he had a formal interview at combine with team.
5:03 PM · Apr 6, 2018

I'd have no problem on the pick if he drops to the 3rd rd. Kyle could end up a better Pro QB than half of these so called 1st round QBs. I'll take accuracy over a cannon arm at this level. Jay Cutler, Byron Leftwich, Josh Freeman, Jeff George etc had strong arms but very little touch on the ball.

This can be a pretty accurate model of what could transpire, with some likely trades...


Still, you can now see why I'd want to move Armstead to get back into the high second round...

Were the mock to shake out like this, we could get say Indy to bite on Armstead so they could finally get Luck protection...

If that happened, we could send Armstead and a fourth and get a second and third...

We could get both Bryan or Vander Esch and take UCLA RT Kolton Miller, allowing Ramczyk to ascend to LT...

This would be one serious Jedi Draft Move; either way, we have three LTs on the roster, four if you count Bushrod who played their on our Superbowl team...

Former LSU RB Derrius Guice signs with Lil Wayne's sports agency

http://image.nola.com/home/nola-medi...22b29ce268.jpg

Former LSU running back Derrius Guice has switched sports agencies and is now represented by the group fronted by New Orleans native, rapper Lil Wayne.

According to a report from Forbes, Guice signed with Young Money APAA. The agency also represents one of the top linebacker prospects in this year's draft in Texas' Malik Jefferson.

Guice was previously represented by Top Dawg Entertainment.

27. NEW ORLEANS SAINTS (11-5)

LB Leighton Vander Esch, Boise State
The defensive overhaul continues in New Orleans as Vander Esch adds an athletic presence to the front-seven. He flies to the ball in the run game and has good range in coverage and he led the nation with 76 total stops a year ago.

JP, there’s a draft analyst named Jon Ledyard and yesterday on Twitter he was showing Frank Ragnow clips. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen someone take an Alabama D-Lineman to church the way Ragnow did to Da’Ron Payne.

If Ragnow drops into the 3rd round, I’d definitely package our extra 5th and 6th to try moving up for him. He spends 2018 as a backup interior guy a la Kelemete and he starts at center in 2019. Releasing Unger next year frees up $6.25 million in cap space.

Chris, I don't know in what universe that Ragnow falls to the third round...

Yeah, he's a Center, but I've felt he was first round grade prospect for a year now, still feel that way...

I'd only lowered him into my second round group because I felt there were other guys I'd given priority like Taven Bryan and Leighton Vander Esch...

Make no secret for my disdain for Mr. Glass and his unavailable"ness" coupled with having three (now four) left tackles on the roster...

I'd like to move on, get younger, and attain easier-to-fill LG or RT...

Peat or Ramczyk can easily man the LT spot, giving us cap friendly numbers for at least a couple more seasons...

And allowing the unit to play more cohesively than eight (8) games in the regular season together...

We could use that late one or early 2 on Armstead with teams like the Browns, Colts, Chargers and fill out our front seven or direct return on the offensive line...

What players are you cutting to absorb the dead money money in a trade? No player is beyond a trade, however Terron is more valuable to the Saints vs what we would get out of him in a trade scenario.

Best case scenario for 2018 is that we get the Armstead we thought we were going to get when he signed that massive contract.

One option would be a sign-and-trade where he gets more guaranteed money on the back-end to move the upfront hit...

But, per Over the Cap AND Spotrac, we'd gain $2.9mil in a Pre-June 1st designated trade and $10.3mil in a Post-Jun 1st designated trade...

The Pre-June 1st would revive our rookie pool without having to rework any other contracts...

I think the most we could get for him would be a mid to late 2nd at best. Like JP said the LT position could be handled by Peat or Ram. I'm liking Sean Welsh Iowa C/G in the 4th that could plug in at G or C if needed. I don't think we have enough depth at G or C.

Salary wise, it makes no sense. Terron isn't getting traded in 2018. Even with the thought of reshuffling guys (Ramz/Peat) as you point out, you still have to get a 1st, even 2nd as a reliable starter. And there are no guarantees that player will be remotely close to the level of Armstead.

2019 would be more realistic with trade discussions on TA.

Personally I like Armstead, he come from a little known college in Arkansas and has been really, really good for us considering where we drafted him. The downside is he is not seeing nearly the playing time with injury. We already have 2 highly capable LT that could take care of the LT spot if he goes down but as far as any depth whatsoever at C/G there is nothing at all which is a huge problem ( hole really) so do we roll the dice on a often hurt player which would leave a hole in the line or do we trade him now with teams hurting for a LT and pick up an xtra pick to void that hole if Armstead goes down? I understand your point financially but we have no, nada, nothing as depth on the O line and (need) some. I do get skidish about rookies when remembering Charlie Brown but we have to roll the dice somewhere.

He's actually been one of the more discussed offensive linemen since January; the talking heads are only now discussing him because it's draft time...

Didn't post much about him nor Braden Smith because of our lack of a R2 pick; that and DT, DE, LB or where we should spend our highest pick if the value is there...

Looking at photos of Arden Key at the combine, I've kidded that he looks like Dave Chappelle on meth - it's the WOW factor, and NOT in the good way...

There's no way in hell I'd want him setting the edge on my 4-3 defense, not even a 3-4 defense; I've seen more impressive WRs physically than he looked and showed...

If Key was going to be LSU's Draft Poster Boy for recruiting, Coach O better polish up his resume so King Alexander and Joe Alleva can continue to handicap LSU...

Not sure trading Armstead is advisable now with our lack of depth.

Although I am not in favor of trading Armstead, I can see a valid argument to do so. The oft injured Armstead is one major reason why the Saints would need more quality depth on the offensive line. Moving Armstead could "kill two birds with one stone". It could stabilize the starting lineup of the line AND give the Saints the means of adding another quality piece to that squad.

Depth?

LT Terron Armstead (Has played less than 16 games in last two seasons)
LG/LT Andrus Peat (Played LT 8+ gms 2016, Played LT 9+ gms 2017)
RT/LT Ryan Ramczyk (Played LT 2+gms including start 1st career game)
LG/LT Jermon Bushrod (Starting LT for Superbowl Winning Saints 2010)

We have depth and could spend the draft pick we'd get back on a LG, C, RG, RT and still have a great starting unit...

We're spending too much money and have too many LT to not make the move and address other areas, even along the offensive line...

I'd rather had kept Senio Kelemete instead of Demario Davis and moved Armstead...

Memphis wide receiver Anthony Miller

Payton is an aggressive coach, and I would not be surprised to see him try and make another “Alvin Kamara” type move up to get a player.

If someone starts to fall due to a run on a position or the usual pick for need comes into play, one player that could tumble a little is Miller.

Then "everybody" will follow suit and the opportunity will be gone. Personally, I think some of the very lowest rounds are "undervalued." They call it a Draft for a reason.

Why wouldn't a team want to draft (i.e. force) some players to play for them instead of hoping in UDFA?

DL is a reach & 27. Probably have to do it but man, I would love to have Gesicki. Our TE's are ok but down the stretch it really hurt us. Need a EZ big body target. Rest of the draft will be excellent value with all the QB's going early. No reason we can't land a couple of starters again.
