Callaway’s new agent Malki Kawa said it was for a diluted sample. Callaway hired Kawa about two weeks ago.

Lord have mercy... Some teams were actually considering giving him a chance. This has to be it for him.

Re: 2018 NFL Draft Prospects - Saints

Landry is a sub-package pass rusher. Go back and watch the games where he actually faced some legit competition. He lacks the sand to set the edge in the run game. He has one basic rush move and against NFL tackles, they will bury him in the dirt. Injury prone, he's a little healthier than Hau'oli Kikaha which is very much the same player...

Plus Detiller made the case against him by comparing him to Swilling - a 3-4 OLB, which he's right to do; Landry is not what we need now - maybe in the second round when we were putting in a 3-4...

We need to stay the course and keep adding true 4-3 DE, DTs - Taven Bryan (if he falls now), Sam Hubbard, Breeland Speaks should be our targets...

To be consistent with my criticism as I was with Rashaan Evans, Dallas Goedert played some of that late Draft Process drama by refusing to compete, participate playing it safe on agent's advice...

Goedert has great hands and adjustments on the ball, but to take a TE with a first round pick, I'd prefer a total, more complete athletic TE, which is why Gesicki rates higher...

Goedert has the potential to be lights out - but at this point, it's more potential and I'd like to have seen him willing to compete more in the draft process rather than play it safe like Evans has...

From what I'm seeing consistently about Hughes in draft reports, he and agent are just in robotic response mode of "that's all in the past, we've moving forward" re: his off-the-field bullshinski...

If Sean Payton is to be believed (he's been trying to revise history with re: Reuben Foster) the Saints should be asking the question to Hughes and agent - "Why is this in the past and what steps have been taken so Hughes behaviour won't continue to be a distraction?" - and they're not answering that part, at least not where it's leaked publicly which it should have by now...

Mike D knows a lot of people, allows himself to be used as a bullhorn for prospective players and their agents for inside scoop - that's how it works - but like the King of 3rd party scouts, Kiper, he has to play to his base and I'd question him in private on some of these takes he's printed...

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

Matt Miller
@nfldraftscout
Derwin James top 10. Frank Ragnow Round 1. Maurice Hurst day 3. That's all the latest buzz from the draft world.
8:54 PM · Apr 24, 2018

And to add my own take to it... Derwin James goes 7th to Tampa and Frank Ragnow goes 21st to Cincinnati.

Shut down corners are hard to find & he has elite, playmaking ability. Someone will gamble on him. Happens every year.
