2018 NFL Draft Prospects - Saints

blackangold · 01-15-2018, 10:16 PM

Needs in the draft or FA
DE (need a beast opposite of Cam)
DT (pass rushing)
WR/TE (big physical player that is a threat)

Really wanted us to grab Campbell, and man that would have been huge. I like Okafor but he has a history of injuries we likely need an upgrade. I would love for Jimmy G to come back, think he solved a lot of issues on O.

Our LBs are set we just need them to stay healthy, same with our DBs.

Set at the linebacker position B&G? We desperately need SPEED at the MIKE. Anzalone is supposed to fill this need however you can't count on him as this (injuries) was the knock coming out of FL. Assuming he does come back, we are still thin at the position. It's time to get ELITE at the position. Robertson, Klein etc are solid but not game changers. We were close with Reuben Foster (when healthy, he is as good as advertised) in last year's draft.

Kuechly, David, Debo Jones, Barr, Kendrick types are necessary in NO.

There's no way we're set at LBer when we just started a guy in a playoff game we signed off the street six weeks ago...

True, we've an obscene amount of IRs, particularly at the LBer position; plus we traded a Anthony that DA was unable to redeem...

Now I'm more optimistic that Anzalone will get better medical care and will strengthen for the rigors of an NFL Season...

At the minimum, I'd like to see us get a 3-Down Mike and keep a seventh LBer on the roster:

WLB - Anzalone, Stupar

MLB - (TBA), Robertson, (TBA)

SLB - Klein, Mauti

A good Mike LB prospect that could be had in the middle rounds:

Chris Worley, OLB, Ohio State
Height: 6-2. Weight: 230.
Projected 40 Time: 4.70.
Projected Round (2018): 4-6

He went to Glenville High School in Cleveland just like Marshon Lattimore, Ted Ginn Jr and Justin Hardee. We could continue the pipeline.
