2020 NFL Draft: Saints Prospects

Like Madabike more than Gallimore who I was high on early, but rewatched a couple of games and see some, limitations...

Another DT sleeper guy to keep an eye on is out of UArkansas, McTelvin Agim - he was a big defensive end who made the switch to DT3 his senior year...

He's okay against the run, still learning how to two-gap defend, but he can get after the passer and has three complementary plus-moves...

He'd be a good DT3 to develop behind Onyemata and can replace Rankins if he leaves (likely) after this year...

Akeem Davis-Gaither - LB Appalachian St.

We have Demario, then a lot of question marks/injured guys at linebacker. If this kids plays at North Carolina instead of App State, he's a top 5 draft prospect at his position. The last "small school" prospect that checked a lot of boxes at LB was Colts Darius Leonard (SC State). 2nd round selection and All Pro within 2 years.

Akeem-Davis Gaither could be anther sleeper draft pick.

Lance Zierlein compares FAU TE Harrison Bryant to George Kittle, and I can see why watching his highlights...

Worth noting that he played for Lane Kiffin, who's good at developing players for The Show...

When watching, watch his physicality, reliable hands, NFL-route running, red zone awareness, and even some nasty competitiveness (bodychecks a safety after hard tackle)...

Moving him up a round on my list despite his size...

Reminds me a lot of Marques Colston - guy we can get on Day 3...

I really wish I could get some insight on how the coaches view our LB situation and particularly Anzalone’s future. I feel like if Kenneth Murray is on the board at 24 then he’ll be the pick. I think we’ll value Murray over Patrick Queen because of Murray’s prototypical size, experience and the ease in which he could play all three LB spots.

Murray reminds me of Stephone Anthony - checks off the boxes in athleticism, but the instincts are askew; and there's something not right about his interviews...

Like Patrick Queen more, but a) will Sean Payton take a LSU player? and, b) Queen is only 6' 0" tall and that'll lack of length will be a liability, especially for a first round pick...

Queen sure looked good late in the season. Caught fire really!! Showed what he could do in primetime to.

So you'd want to commit your first round pick and not another pick until late on Day 2 to a LBer that flashed mid-late season, and I'd agree impressively, but for only one season?

Maybe. Tons of upside. Passes the eyeball test on the field, tackles well enough and consistantly around the ball and has ball skills. Playmaker ability. Paired with Davis could be promising. I think he could start, and do well enough.
