But I will agree we need another inside force. |

Round 1
Rashaan Evans ILB/OLB Alabama 6021 232 4.73 #32 Sr Harrison covers tons of ground and create turnovers. Josh Jackson CB/WR/FS Iowa 6012 185 4.50 #15 rJr an athletic tall and long arm one year wonder play maker Mason Rudolph, QB Oklahoma State 6036 235 4.77 #2 Sr A big, athletic and talented, but needs more polish and consistency. Rashaan Evans ILB/OLB Alabama 6021 232 4.73 #32 Sr athletic physical and versatile linebacker Sam Hubbard SDE OSU 6045 265 4.86 #6 rJr A big solid all around DE Christian Kirk WR/KR/PR Texas A&M* 5106 200 4.39 #3 Jr Electric. Dante Booker OLB/ILB Ohio State 6021 233 4.62 #33 Sr Solid LB prospect Da’Ron Payne DL Alabama 6012 308 5.38 #94 Jr No one impressed me as the season went on than this guy Malik Jefferson MLB/OLB Texas* 6015 238 4.57 #46 Jr rare range and explosiveness for his size. Yet another read and react LB limited upside? Tarvarus McFadden CB Florida State* 6012 198 4.49 #4 Jr It is all there like Malik Jefferson but no one feared him. |

Payne would be great, but we've been down this road before where Bama Interior Linemen fall to the second round... Now if Vita Vea really is the next Ngata, I think you've gotta look at him; as of now, he's there, but the next three months, we know things'll change... |
It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

Re: 2018 NFL Draft Prospects - Saints
Watching PJ Williams getting beat like a snare drum the last few weeks makes me believe that we will draft another CB. Having 3 solid ones (see Jacksonville) can really benefit a defense.
Maybe this is the season a healthy Delvin Breaux shows his worth on D, no? |

We need a bonafide nickel CB. Someone like Nickell Robey-Coleman or Aaron Colvin will be available in free agency. Who are some good options in the draft? Maybe Mike Hughes (UCF) or Mark Fields (Clemson)? |
