9. New Orleans Saints - Calvin Ridley WR Alabama 6005 190 4.48 #3 Jr

There is no arguing he is the most pro ready WR in the draft

Trade back and get some picks for once would be nice. Which we all know SP will not do. 90% odds on favorite to stand pat in round 1. If we did to say the pick 15 range

pick 15-20 range Christian Kirk WR/KR Texas A&M* 5106 200 4.39 #3 Jr

Reminds me of Cooks but unlike Cook he excels on quick screen and is a return man.

Or go for broke, drop back again, pick 20 - 25 range get some more picks and go for a player that could be the biggest impact pick in the draft for the saints.

Hate to say it but I am still watching

pick 20 - 25 range Ronnie Harrison SS/FS/CB/OLB Alabama 6011 214 4.54 #15 Jr

He is a day one plug and play starter. Let Kenny walk and hope for a comp pick for once. Direct that cap money to another position. He reminds of

Morgan Burnett SS/FS/CB/OLB 6013 209 4.51 Green Bay

Then go after your QB

I love Fluak but after doing some home work the #1 issue he has is some head injuries, nothing really serious but they are there. So his stock might take hit the media is not talking about yet.

Then there is Mayfield

So both QBs should still be there in the second

With the way the last two drafts have gone, the only thing SP needs to do at the draft is fetch Jeff Ireland's coffee.

I am not liking the OSU DEs as first round pick so far.

Seriously? Hagan, this year he's getting pinched, trap-blocked on the end cause teams are aware of him...

I'd love to have him opposite Trey for the next six-seven years...

last year he did not get it done either when he was not getting all the hype or attention. I think most of this is all OSU media hype machine at work. Ram neutralized all of them last year. So did most of the big ten OT they faced. None have been able to make the big play when it counted the most either . I had high hopes last year for the group and saw absolutely nothing out of them. I am still waiting for them to change my mind. Right now IMO they are upside picks or in other words they have yet to do it.

Teams are giving the OSU DE to much attention and when OSU faces a well balanced talented line they will find these DE are not to hard to handle.

Orlando Brown showed me more in the OU vs OSU

The most over hyped to date is Key. I did not see it last year and he has to get on the field to show me some thing this year.

Look at Chubb. Teams are doing everything they can to stop him for two years straight and all he does is keep making plays and making big plays when they are needed most. Chubb just keeps putting up the most complete set stats of all DE in college.

This could be a weak year at DE and a player like Chubb is just not glamorous enough athletically to get all the hype. Sure Chubb is not as gifted athletically as all these other players but he is a much better football player right now than any of the DE ranked ahead of him.

IMO

Re: 2018 NFL Draft Prospects - Saints

I'd agree with Key being overrated...

But, whether I like it or not, I've seen enough Ohio State games to know that Bosa is not overrated...

In fact, most of the attention he has received should better prepare him for the NFL...

It takes alot for me to even shout out for players from the Big 10...

And while I'd dump half the draft to move up for Baker Mayfield or Luke Falk, or a No. 1 and players like Armstead, this is the draft to get Brees' replacement...

Malik Jefferson (LB - Texas) looks like he could become a force at the next level.
