I just don't think he'll be on the board after Day 2. Would love to have him though. |

Re: 2018 NFL Draft Prospects - Saints
Dante Pettis. He is a super dangerous punt returner & has vision.
Possible upgrade over TLL? |

Re: 2018 NFL Draft Prospects - Saints
I've posted this on cornerback Jaire only because the Saints have recently interviewed (probably needs nothing) him. I question his durability. He's often injured .

To paraphrase, Fazende highlighted a great point about how Vander Esch went from being a walk-On as a TE/WR to playing as an elite LB... Vander Esch learned a new position and re-built his body, was outstandingly productive and earned first round grade in three years... That kind of player to come from lean walk-on to top tier prospect linebacker is one who you jumps out at you and you take notice... You factor in his SPARQ, his Combine Performance, his increase in production - this guy is the goods... I'd also mention that unlike these Bama and UGA linebackers, he didn't have great talent around him or in front of him on his defensive line... Evans and Smith will be solid pros, but they came from factories that mill out these guys and have superior talent around them, rarely challenged or directly targeted... Consider Fazende's point and then you realize that this is a young man that understands adversity and challenge and has already demonstrated he can overcome it... For me, it's Taven Bryan or Vander Esch or Bust...And I'd jump the Falcons to get either one... |
It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

Smart, heady player, really like what he could bring to the unit as either a MIKE or WILL... |
