Sarik,
I like Fred as well. The Saints had a formal interview with him during Senior Bowl week. He moves around like a safety. Looks good in zone coverage too.

Jeff Holland aka "Sensei Mudd" ... good prospect and can be had in later rounds (3-5) of the draft.

Pro Day - Wagner & Southern Utah | Draft Analyst

It’s been a very busy lead-up to the draft for Wagner tackle Gregory Senat after he starred at the Shrine Game and performed well during the Combine. Today Senat worked out in front of 18 teams on hand for pro day.

The athletic tackle ran the 40 again and timed under 5.2 on a number of watches. He looked terrific in position drills, which were run by Baltimore Ravens assistant offensive line coach Rich Angulo.

Senat, projected as a mid-round pick, met extensively with the New Orleans Saints last night.

R1 P27- TE Hayden Hurst, South Carolina

I’ve seen different reports that various GM’s and personnel guys around the league view Hayden Hurst as the only real first round TE prospect. He’s the most well-rounded and pro ready. We need a guy who can block so that rules out Mike Gesicki and Mark Andrews.

R3 P27- WR Cedrick Wilson, Boise State

R4 P27- LB Genard Avery, Memphis

R5 P10- DE Kylie Fitts, Utah

R5 P27- SS Siran Neal, Jacksonville State

R6 P15- OT Greg Senat, Wagner

R6 P27- CB Linden Stephens, Cincinnati

R7 P27- C Brian Allen, Michigan

I find Jackson to be vastly underrated compared to the quarterbacks that are projected to go before him.

Can't wait for the draft.

That's what makes him interesting should the Saints grab him at 27. He runs like a deer, but would he resort to those instincts in the NFL? What's his release times compared to Brees?

Pro Day March 29: SMU, West Virginia & SMU | Draft Analyst

Lost in the shuffle yesterday was Alabama’s second pro day workout and the expected testing of safety Ronnie Harrison and linebacker Rashaan Evans.

Harrison, who has been dealing with a hamstring injury, tipped the scales at 219 pounds then timed anywhere from 4.56s to 4.61 seconds in the forty.

Rashaan Evans, who did not run the forty at the combine or Alabama’s first pro day did not run yesterday which left a very bad taste in the mouths of teams who purposely made the trip to watch his workout.

Several teams questioned Evans speed going into the pre-draft process and the fact he’s not yet run the forty coupled with a vertical jump of just 30 inches and 9-feet-8-inches in the broad jump will raise further red flags about his athleticism.

Factor in terrific workouts by many of the linebackers at the combine (Lorenzo Carter, Leighton Vander Esch) and it adds up to bad news for Evans.

Re: 2018 NFL Draft Prospects - Saints

I sure hope the Saints get to know Courtland Sutton (SMU) in one on one's. If he went to UT, he'd probably get a lot more hype. He's comparable to Michael Thomas with measurables & has really good hands. Kind of reminds me of a power forward in basketball. I see a lot of Alshon Jeffery/Dez in his game. Uses his frame to shield defenders. Strong guy.

Keep a lazy eye on him.
