Why their production was so bad this year?

Malik Jefferson OLB/WLB Texas* 6015 238 4.57 #46 Jr
Tarvarus McFadden CB Florida State* 6012 198 4.49 #4 Jr

Interviews are huge for Malik and Tarvarus

-----
screw interview. All they are is a temptation to ignore the tape. Should draft on game tape performance plus investigators who can tell us if they are mental cases, criminal, ets.

Chris,

I'd love that pick ^^^^ ... he's a missile and arrives with cruel intentions. The Saints desperately need a smart, fast LB who brings the wood on every play.

Keep an eye on him next Monday night vs UGA.

I like what Hagan said a couple pages back about Rashaan Evans... Something to the effect of “ghosts of drafts past (Reuben Foster) cloud my mind.”

I think it’s important to keep in mind that back in October we were very close to trading for NaVorro Bowman but the deal fell through.

Bowman didn't want to come here; he wanted to join the Raiders; well, he can sit at home with them now and enjoy being a Raider...

Round 5

Fred Warner OLB BYU 6025 228 4.68 #4 Sr

Warner, entering his third season as a starter, is a physical striker who wraps his arms for the secure tackle and possesses the agility and length to harass the quarterback in coverage or on the rush. An advantage for Warner is that he 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?

Ah I was wondering about that. Let it begin... The excruciating 3 1/2 months of draft speculation.

We need to get Cameron Jordan some help with our first pick. A pass rushing OLB/DE needs to be a priority... the priority. A sure handed YAC slot receiver needs to be addressed as well.

I'm going linebacker. We need more speed in the middle of the field. Similar to that Kendricks kid. If no ballers at LB are there at #27, go find another big ugly (offensive lineman).

Yeah I still don’t think we have the right line-up yet at LB. I like the guys we have, but they aren’t big playmakers. I have a feeling the team will probably stick with Klein and Te’o as starters, but is Anzalone the answer on the weak side? He did beat out Robertson.

Any favorite LB’s in the draft? I’m liking Tremaine Edmunds (brother of our own Trey Edmunds.)

Tremaine Edmunds*, OLB, Virginia Tech
Height: 6-5. Weight: 236.
Projected 40 Time: 4.71.
Projected Round (2018): 1-3
