7th rounder Ellis too, I hear.

Yep. Last year when I was at the Zurich Classic, I made a comment to some friends who tend to get some Saints scoops more right than naught, that Payton had that foolhardy look...

They responded that I should be prepared for a disappointing draft as Payton was definitely more active in steering the draft than in 2017...

The Head Coach's input in the draft is invaluable, but it shouldn't be absolute...

If they'd just let Ireland do his job and they'd respect the mantra - Do Your Job, we'd see more 2017 draft results...

Yep. He'll need a couple of years of development to man a starting gig, but he has the strength, speed, athleticism to man a LBer spot in about two seasons...

In the meantime, he's gonna eventually replace Robertson on the kick coverage teams...

Speaking of late rounders/UDFA (Ozigbo) players ... Saints vs Vikes will be your first opportunity to secure a roster spot.

He got vertical then had to lean out for it. That was a tough grab.

He's also 5' 9" and Taysom threaded it in the red zone - Great play on both parts...
