Curious to see how he develops. One thing that sticks out at me is Sean saying "doesn't matter where you draft them" "if they knew Colston would have turned out the way he did they would have drafted him #1"

Good size and feet. But, unless there's a lot of injuries and he can also play guard, he's a practice squad guy at best.

The New Orleans Saints knew exactly what they were doing taking Rick Leonard (OT, FSU) in the 4th round because I spoke to a couple teams today who told me they definitely would have taken him in the 5th round if he was still there.

Damn it, Sean!!! Get off the pills!!!

Listen to Sean P post draft presser. He stated that when you watch him, he got better and better every game. After the dust settles, no one will really care where he was drafted as long as he develops.

Again Sean P is a visionary, smart football mind. Why take him in the 4th if objectively he should go as a UDFA? That should prompt you to realize SP knew something about other teams having him on their board.

Leonard has athletic ability & potential to become a starter. Trust the process.

I said the same thing yesterday. Leonard was taken where he was taken because the Saints felt he wouldn't be there later, regardless of what some lame-ass "draft experts" fishing for clicks on the web states in their useless "rankings" and draft projections.
