FSU LB Josh Sweat is scheduled for a predraft visit with the #Saints, according to a source. The 6-foot-4, 251-pound Sweat an intriguing prospect, can play DE in a 4-3 base defense or OLB in 3-4 base. Had 14.5 sacks in college. Also had informal interview with Saints at Combine.

This guy is intriguing. He’s gotten a lot of late first round buzz since the Combine. His measurables are off the charts and he can play no doubt about it. Medical concerns though.

With that being said, his explosiveness hasn’t suffered:

If I had a choice, I would choose the athleticism of Payne over Vea. Some of the things Da'Ron did in the trenches for Alabama was freakish. His hand movement is good too. I think he will be even better in the NFL than college.

You never know how to predict who will slide down in the draft but if he's there at 27 ...

I keep coming back to Christian Kirk when thinking about WR’s. Plug him into the slot from day one and he and Mike will be deadly.

Yes sir.

Another guy who appears to be a "fit" in SP offense ... Dante' Pettis. He played on the boundary as well as in the slot. I think he would be a gem if available in the mid rounds. On top of that, he'd be a much better threat on punt returns vs TLL.

Keep on eye on him as well.

Think DT Maurice Hurst will be there and that we should take him.
