And that's really it, you're looking at his splits in the 40 and for red flags like a really slow time ...

Keep saying it - do these drills in pads and you'll see greater efficiency in the draft process...

I'm not crazy about Evans at all - sneaking suspicion he reached his peak at Bama behind a superior line ...

Looks to be another Tide Roller that looks like Tarzan in College, plays like Jane in the Pros...

And the fact he's not running the 40, like he's hiding something, that just creates more doubt, reservations...

Give me young guys with nothing to lose who aren't afraid to compete...

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

Re: 2018 NFL Draft Prospects - Saints

I can’t wait until the first big wave of free agency because mock drafts are useless until then. We always address our biggest needs in free agency so I’m curious how things change for us as it relates to the draft.

Re: 2018 NFL Draft Prospects - Saints

usually dont post during the season but the offseason is when i get back to checking threads more frequently. not sure who the majority of b&g is big on but i’d like to hear peoples top 5. I’m pretty sure Taven Bryan is one of my draft crushes this year. so much talent and potential.

Saints are one of the better teams at using Free Agency to mask their draft intentions...

Why in the world would they have soured on Peat? He’s our starting left guard AND left tackle lol. If anything it tells me they’re thinking about permanently moving Peat to LT.

No but I think we're keeping options open. Peat will even be better this year. Experience the same team on the O line is very important. I think we might replace Zach and be done with it.

Re: 2018 NFL Draft Prospects - Saints

Probably expecting to loose Kelemete so will be short. Smd if Armstead goes down again i could see them cutting him to save 7ml and moving Peat back to LT
