See who falls to #27 & take the best player available .
We have had good luck with players that have dropped into our laps this late in the draft.

Understood but 31 other teams will be disappointed at the end of the season .

I spent about 1 day being disappointed... then I reflected back on when we started 0-2, I wrote off the season completely and thought 7-9 was a stretch. To think about how far we came, how young we are and how many injuries we had to overcome, it was a great season.

I know what you mean, just the way we were so close to have it all snatched away is heartbreaking. Haven't been able to stop thinking about for days!

Home | Draft Analyst

Courtesy of Draft Analyst, here are some Shrine Game practices winners that we could target in the middle to late rounds:

Deadrin Senat/DT/South Florida: The only person who as able to stop Deadrin Senat was in fact Deadrin Senat, the few times he wore down over the course of practice. It was understandable, as he hadn’t been in pads for almost a month. When fully energized, Senat showed a complete game; he was quick, explosive, powerful and fundamentally sound. He easily held the point against double-team blocks, collapsed the pocket in man-on-man battles and beat opponents with pure power as well as quick hands. Graded as a late-round pick entering the year, Senat has moved into the middle rounds. Keep an eye on the Buffalo Bills or Kansas City Chiefs during draft weekend.

Chris Worley/LB/Ohio State: I was impressed with Worley on film and even more impressed watching him live at Shrine practice. He’s tough and explosive yet also smart and disciplined. He was a demon in blitz drills, a force against the run and held his own in coverage drills. He’s a New York Giants-type of linebacker and would be a good pickup for the team on the draft’s final day.

DaeSean Hamilton/WR/Penn State: Hamilton had a “wow” type of week. He ran great routes every day, separated from quicker, speedier cornerbacks and caught everything in sight. He won out for contested passes, grabbed receptions in the open field and consistently caught the ball with his hands away from his frame. He was also superb in blocking drills. Hamilton is not fast but is very polished in all areas of his game.

Daurice Fountain/WR/Northern Iowa: Speed was not an issue for Fountain, and neither was catching the ball. Fountain caught the ball very well, except he was doing it at full speed, down the field and running past defenders. I was also impressed by his feistiness and willingness to compete. He leaves Shrine week with a draft grade a full round higher than the one he arrived with in St. Petersburg.

Re: 2018 NFL Draft Prospects - Saints

If we could get Darius Guice, the best RB in the draft, mark my words, late in the first round, we'd have the grestest RB duo in NFL history. Arden Key in the 2nd gives us the best pass rush DEs in the NFL. DJ Chark in the 3rd and we've got a big speedster who compliments Mike Thomas perfectly. Christian Locotoure is a big, tough NT we'd be lucky to get in the 4th.

Not enough LSU players on your draft list (sarcasm).

BTW, we already have the best RB duo in all of the NFL .
