Re: 2018 NFL Draft Prospects - Saints

I really, really like this kid...Like the idea of him as a RT, moving Ramczyk to LT and moving Terron Armstead for a high draft pick and even more cap room...

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.

Now this guy falls to us, as bad as I think we need a quarterback, this would be the pick for us...

He reads fast, He reacts fast, He just plain plays fast...
I don't know how well he'll transition to the NFL but he's a monster in the Mountain West. He takes over games.

Re: 2018 NFL Draft Prospects - Saints

If we don't take a QB, all I want to draft are another OL or two and LBers, lots of 'em...

I'd like to sign a more effective DT as we can't seem to draft those worth a sh*t...

Saints are drafting a QB next year. If not for the Chiefs, Mahommes would have been Saint .

My short list of QBs

1/2
Baker Mayfield QB Oklahoma 6002 220 4.64 #6 rSr
Great progression, head case?
Mason Rudolph, QB Oklahoma State 6036 235 4.77 #2 Sr
Progression needs works.

3/4
Luke Falk, QB, Washington State 6032 214 4.87 #4 rSr
Melt downs?

4/5
Kurt Benkert QB Virgina 6025 215 4.92 #6 rSr
Solid upside pick with good fundamentals

7/FA
Mike White, QB, Western Kentucky 6035 215 4.87 #14 rSr
Total upside pick with good basic fundamentals

This will be an interesting year for QBs doing so so and rumored to have worn out their welcome.

Tyrod Taylor is a great example. He has come a long way and still needs work but if he does not get that starters job I would kick the tires

Will Armstead and the saint keep riding Armstead IR roller coaster? Not keen on the trade in 2018 risk part. If so I hope the saints go veteran not rookie


Brian O'Neill OT Pitt 6052 305 5.04 #70 rJr
A great swing OT day one to groom. Jumped to LT after two years at RT and did a great job. Were will he go? day 3? He is all over the boards. I would not be shocked if he ended up a surprise pick in round 2,

is a solid prospect just like

Ike Boettger OT/TE Iowa 6046 307 5.02 #75 rSr
Still waiting on the medicals on that Achilles injury. Might end up being a sneaky UDFA to stash
