If Carl Granderson can get past his legal issues ...

He's worth watching at camp. Kind of hard to ignore his production and ability to get after the QB consistently. Trey Hendrickson hasn't really done a whole lot so there's that.

That's a big red flag - especially after he who is no longer named was convicted for drugging/date raping women...

Saints interviewed him a few times in draft research, the looming legal process disclosed. Saints security is tight-lipped, but must have some evidence that exonerates him for them to move forward and sign him...

Really need Lil’Jordan Humphrey to put on about 20 lbs and transition to TE a la former Texas A&M WR Ricky Seals-Jones.

I don't know Chris, he's limited to, but effective, unstoppable against lesser defensive talent, in the slot...

May allow us to move @CantGuardMike around (MT does most damage in slot) or give him rest; Lil'J may just end up being the Marques Colston replacement Payton's coveted...

He could also be used to highpoint in the back-corners of the endzone vs sub-six-foot CBs, if he can make those hands truly reliable. He's definitely matched up vs Cam Meredith for a roster spot...

Jordan Humphries ... meh.

No quickness, no burst off the line, below average skill set. Those simple routes he ran at Southlake Carroll & UT won't work in the NFL. That 4.75 40 time & lack of lateral movement was an eye sore for a ton of teams. He must improve on his diamond catching technique (The Great Marques Colston already had this skill perfected while at Hofstra) & learn how to block.

Not to be a Debbie Downer on the kid but you gotta bring more to the table in the NFL than just size.

Looking at the depth and competition for wide receiver most folks seem to forget about Simmie Cobbs. He was brought here for a reason after we raided someone else's practice squad toward the end of the season and someone else trained him for us for free.iirc I like what I've seen from his film and apparently he has a very good skill set.
There is a reason Payton waited until after the draft to bring in a wide receiver. There are a lot of unknowns in the wide receiver room. Unknown to most fans....but not the front office and coaches. Humphreys has a good chance to crack the Saints roster as a role player but he better take to the whoopin' stick and learn to perfectly run the routes that Drew likes. What was a weakness last year could easily become a strength this year with last years rookies having a year in the system.

Oh, it's definitely on at WR this year - but the kicking game will be the component that decides who gets a roster spot and who's watching the Saints win a SuperBowl...
