Surprised there hasn’t been more discussion on Fred Warner(LB, BYU)

Day 2-3 guy who could be a perfect WILL for the Saints. Flying under the radar for sure thus far. Check em out if ya haven’t

Sarik,
I like Fred as well. The Saints had a formal interview with him during Senior Bowl week. He moves around like a safety. Looks good in zone coverage too.

One too many red flags with this guy.

Biggest Flag is attitude; only he can fix it and usually that doesn't happen.

But physically? He's less than imposing.

I want our first rounder to come in and start or play heavy minutes in sub-packages...

Jeff Holland aka "Sensei Mudd" ... good prospect and can be had in later rounds (3-5) of the draft.

I never know how well anybody will transition into the NFL but he was a stud at Boise State. I remember one game when the Broncos need a defensive stand, he got a stuff on first down, a tackle for a loss on second and a pass defense on third.

He could just take over games.

Pro Day - Wagner & Southern Utah | Draft Analyst

It’s been a very busy lead-up to the draft for Wagner tackle Gregory Senat after he starred at the Shrine Game and performed well during the Combine. Today Senat worked out in front of 18 teams on hand for pro day.

The athletic tackle ran the 40 again and timed under 5.2 on a number of watches. He looked terrific in position drills, which were run by Baltimore Ravens assistant offensive line coach Rich Angulo.

Senat, projected as a mid-round pick, met extensively with the New Orleans Saints last night.

R1 P27- TE Hayden Hurst, South Carolina

I’ve seen different reports that various GM’s and personnel guys around the league view Hayden Hurst as the only real first round TE prospect. He’s the most well-rounded and pro ready. We need a guy who can block so that rules out Mike Gesicki and Mark Andrews.

R3 P27- WR Cedrick Wilson, Boise State

R4 P27- LB Genard Avery, Memphis

R5 P10- DE Kylie Fitts, Utah

R5 P27- SS Siran Neal, Jacksonville State

R6 P15- OT Greg Senat, Wagner

R6 P27- CB Linden Stephens, Cincinnati

R7 P27- C Brian Allen, Michigan

That last part is telling to me. Everyone just kind of expects us to go after a pocket passer, West Coast offense kind of QB.

My initial thought when I read this was a Lamar J smokescreen but then I remembered Sean spoke highly of P Mahommes last year. That was clearly no smokescreen.

Mike Thomas, Kamara, Jackson ... that's a lot of firepower on offense. If Lamar is there at 27 ... what do you do?

You know I’m pulling the trigger. Payton is ready for a new offense.
