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.

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

too true. We shoulda gone with LB Kendricks at the bottom of the 1st a couple years ago instead of LB Anthony. Got scared off because he was (supposedly) too small. Ha, started for MN and was a good LB who could play all 3 LB positions plus cover.

I’m interested to see how much Arden Key’s draft stock has fallen. Once a sure fire top 5 pick, he could provide a ton of value if he falls into the back end of the first round. I can’t remember the last time we had two legitimate double digit sack threats.

What’s his story? There’s rumors that he has Randy Gregory-type drug issues.

I’m not positive. Family issues I think... he might have had a kid too but don’t hold me to that. But if it was drugs, it wouldn’t be too surprising either. We’ve had rampant issues with that down in Baton Rouge over the years.

If not addressed in FA we have got to go cb in rd 1. PJ is trash and cost us bigtime. I know breaux might be coming back but with his injury history you can’t rely on him. With no second rd pick cb in rd1 is huge.

Arden recently had surgery on his fingers (partly why he missed the bowl game), gained 15+ pounds this season and was unable to finish strong.

IDK, there are quite a few more consistent Bama/Georgia guys I would look at over Key.

Re: 2018 NFL Draft Prospects - Saints

Sometimes I wonder if some of you seasons begin and end with the draft. Those guys played their dayum hearts out and the 1 st thing some of you do is complain and look for replacements during the season and playoffs. This is not tecmo bowl where you can line up all stars. The season is over every single guy on the roster deserve to be on this team. Manti teo played unbelievable.
