And with the stellar play we've gotten from the Defensive Ends - Jordan, Hendrickson, Okafor, gotta believe as a Top 15 pick, Rankins should have better production?

To see Rankins ranked below guys like Akiem Hicks and Al Woods is a real head scratcher...

Look, he's playing and starting as a first round pick, as he should, I'm just asking if we could've gotten the same production from a third round pick?

Yeah I get what you're saying about the WOW plays. I really wish I could see a breakdown of where he's lining up and how often he's being asked to just eat up blocks to free up the others.

A honest, in depth assessment of Rankins through 6 games. PFF numbers don't show the impact he's had. The guy has been really good.

Thanks Major for sharing; saw your share on another thread, a shame the "Rev" sure doesn't want anyone else to get a word in because the other guy seemed to have some responsive insight...

Not that PFF is the end all, be all, but their criticism of Rankins is that while his play is solid, he's not taking full advantage on some plays as he could and should, which is why I'm asking y'all's take because I feel I'd like to see more production on the 13th pick of the draft...

Guess Lattimore and Ramczyk has set the bar high now for Saints' first round picks...
