2018 NFL Draft Prospects - Saints

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; I’m interested to see how much Arden Key’s draft stock has fallen. Once a sure fire top 5 pick, he could provide a ton of value if he falls into the back end of the first round. I can’t remember ...

What’s his story? There’s rumors that he has Randy Gregory-type drug issues.

Arden recently had surgery on his fingers (partly why he missed the bowl game), gained 15+ pounds this season and was unable to finish strong.

IDK, there are quite a few more consistent Bama/Georgia guys I would look at over Key.

Problem is those two guys aren’t in our range unless we move up. Getting our hands on either Smith or Evans would be a dream scenario.

You never know. I didn't think we had any shot at a difference maker tackle OR corner at pick #11 or 32. Both landed in our laps.

I'm checking out a few mocks and I'm seeing Evans projected in the 2nd in a couple of them. That can't be right... but if he's there, I'd definitely love to have him. You're right, you just never know.
