Still have the 7th round to go but some good players still available that I hope we have a shot at as UDFA’s...

WR Isaiah Hodgins (Oregon St)
WR KJ Hill (Ohio St)
WR Quartney Davis (Texas A&M)
DT Benito Jones (Ole Miss)
LB Markus Bailey (Purdue)

Edit: Scratch Isaiah Hodgins off the list.

I never said it was only due to the competition but let's not pretend his numbers would not have been impacted had he played at Alabama, let's say. Either way he can ball, let's see what happens. I dont happen to think he will have a problem, but if you're expecting 80 grabs rookie season you're way off. Plus NFL run complex playbooks. If he has 30 to 49 catches with 7 to 10 this that will be a great rookie season

Look, I was only stating that the one time he had a chance to go against the best of the best in the Senior Bowl - he was up for the challenge.

Certainly it would would have helped his development if he had gone against the highest level competition week in and week out, not to mention working with staff those programs attract, but it seems like he made the best out of his particular situation.

Seems some people just want to whinge if no LSU player get Drafted, they don't trade back or trade up.

Look at the draft for the last 3 seasons, these people have a damn good idea what they are doing. And there's still plenty of vets out there to fill any holes

Not to mention rookie udfa walk ons

many who might have been their 4 5 6

Saints usually have someone rise to the occasion in the walk on department

Deonta Harris anyone?

I would like to see us sign Stephen Sullivan WR/TE. He showed himself very well during the Senior Bowl week and makes an intriguing red zone guy if he can be developed. Very good downfield blocker.

Never mind, Vikes just took him. I gotta be honest here... it’s not shaping up to be a great UDFA class.

How do you know that? All it takes are the right one or two to make the 90 man roster.

Is there an outside chance, Chris, that they might have identified a few that you were not aware of? I am sure you are all in on the research, but I'm sure you realize that NFL franchises have full staffs with hands on access to ascertain the possible UDFA field.

Not busting your nuts, but maybe a little. ;)

Could be... I’m just talking more in terms of mid-round prospects surprisingly falling to the ranks of the undrafted. This year’s undrafted class will consist of players I really don’t know anything about. I’m excited though to find some true diamonds in the rough.

Could be those mid-round prospects were identified as that by those not truly making the calls in the past. Lots less in depth info on prospects these days. That said, at this point, nobody outside of the scouts have a real clue at this point.
