Re: 2018 NFL Draft Prospects - Saints
Griffin is an awesome story and I think he'll end up being at least a solid pro. I'd love to have him here, but unless we're willing to take him at the end of round one, we probably don't have a shot. With that time he's almost certainly put himself in the second round. If he has a good pro day he's borderline first. He may be borderline first already. His tape speaks for itself and he keeps finding new ways to prove the doubters wrong.

Re: 2018 NFL Draft Prospects - Saints
I had Utah DE Kylie Fitts in the 6th round of my mock draft, but might have to bump him up. Look at these numbers...
DE Kylie Fitts Height: 6-4; Weight: 263 lbs 40 Time: 4.69 10 Yard Split: 1.61 3-Cone: 6.88 Just incredible. |

Sam Hubbard didn’t run the 40, but his other numbers were fantastic!
3-Cone: 6.84 (Elite) Vertical: 35 |

That right there was the magic number - he may even go Top 15 now...

Re: 2018 NFL Draft Prospects - Saints
Hagan and I always looked to the occasional Tulane prospect; we're dinosaurs of a by-gone era when Tulane Football was respectable, a tough out...
...he'd be drooling over this guy that I've had in my groupings... |

Re: 2018 NFL Draft Prospects - Saints
So I'm really admiring Shaquem Griffin's brave combine performance, then reality sets in for me...
NFL defenses rarely shut down opposing offenses, it's about turnovers, and this is where I'm forseeing a problem for Griffin... So I go to College Football Reference for his collegiate turnover statistics and I get quite the surprise... From 2013-2017 (includes a red shirt season where he only played three games his first two seasons), he did this: Forced Fumbles - Five (5) Fumble Recoveries - Four (4) FR returned for TD - One (1) and yes, Three (3) career interceptions, one ea his SO, JU, SR seasons... along with 18.5 career sacks, all from his JU, SR seasons... ICYMI, he suffered a prenatal injury (umbilical cord wrapped around his wrist, restricting blood flow, development)... Yes, his missing hand is going to be an issue at the NFL level where the parity of the talent really is that tight... But he can do so many other things that I just don't see him on the board after the fourth round now... |
It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...
