Bump ... red zone weapon? Only knock is that he's 25 (played Pro baseball) but he has soft hands & out runs linebackers/safeties.

If Vea or Payne are sitting there at 27 I would pull the trigger to strenghten the middle for years to come.

Re: 2018 NFL Draft Prospects - Saints
Here’s my pre-Combine mock draft before things get shaken up in the next week. I’m only going to give explanations for the first two picks.
R1 P27 LB Rashaan Evans, Alabama We tried to sign Dont’a Hightower, we tried to trade for NaVorro Bowman... Let’s cut the crap and finally get us a beast LB. Evans does it all with incredible athleticism and equally high football IQ. Plug him in the middle and move Klein to full-time Sam LB where he’s better suited. R3 P27 DE Kemoko Turay, Rutgers I don’t like any of the edge rushers who are currently projected to be available when we pick in the first round and the free agent crop of DE’s is terrible. Kemoko Turay’s draft stock is all over the place at the moment but it’s been on the rise after a great week of Senior Bowl practices. 6’4”, 252 lbs with incredible explosiveness and agility. R4 P27 WR Cedrick Wilson, Boise State R5 P10 G Alex Cappa, Humboldt State R5 P27 LB Chris Worley, Ohio State R6 P15 CB Rashaan Gaulden, Tennessee R6 P27 DE Kylie Fitts, Utah R7 P27 C Brian Allen, Michigan State |
