He's got cardiac issues - may not be the same issues, but if there's heart questions in a man at that age, it could get complicated...

Didn't we learn our lesson from Fairley? Don't spend any picks on Days 1 nor 2 on 'em with that going on...

Yes, but that's why he may still be there when pre-combine he was a top 5 overall. He's had doctors clear him since.

We get 5 years or more of him at the expected level of play (possible DROY) and it's a good risk to take.

...(Mason Rudolph) has also either met with or had workouts for the Chargers (17th), Saints (27th), Giants (second and 34th, unless they trade), Steelers (28th), Patriots (23rd and 31st) and Bengals (21st)...

For the superstitious guys

...

Ramczyk - had a formal @ combine with the Saints.
AK 47 - had a formal @ combine with the Saints & met w/Payton / work him out exclusively at TN Pro day.
Williams - Pro Day meeting & dinner.
Lattimore - had a formal @ combine with Saints.

Man that's 4 draft picks from 2017. Now fast forward to 2018 ...

ALL HAD FORMALS @ COMBINE w/Saints ...

QB Baker Mayfield, Oklahoma
QB Josh Rosen, UCLA
WR Dante Pettis, Washington
TE Dallas Goedert, South Dakota State
TE Mark Andrews, Oklahoma
DT Vita Vea, Washington
LB Leighton Vander Esch, Boise State
LB Lorenzo Carter, Georgia
CB Jaire Alexander, Louisville

You never know ... just saying

This guy’s become pretty darn popular for teams who don’t want to draft a QB in the first round...

Richmond QB Kyle Lauletta had a private workout with the #Saints recently, per source. Was also told he had a formal interview at combine with team.

I'd have no problem on the pick if he drops to the 3rd rd. Kyle could end up a better Pro QB than half of these so called 1st round QBs. I'll take accuracy over a cannon arm at this level. Jay Cutler, Byron Leftwich, Josh Freeman, Jeff George etc had strong arms but very little touch on the ball.

jeanpierre · 04-06-2018, 07:29 PM

Kyle Lauletta doesn't have a WOW arm some of the first round quarterback prospects have, though he's taller than Brees - most are...

But he threw three touchdowns with one week's familiarization of a Pro-Set offense at the Senior Bowl - that's impressive...

Usually defenses are ahead of offenses at those games - he gelled with receivers quickly and showed poise on a big stage his first run out...

If we'd signed Graham, I'd be hell-bent on taken Lauletta in the late third after taken DL Taven Bryan in round one (man, Im really crushin')...

Because defensive line is still the weakest unit for the Saints, and that includes wide receivers which are easier to fix in later rounds...
