Saints Draft Prospects: Offensive Line

Feb 26

By Kyle T. Mosley | SI

Finding NFL Draft gems are a specialty for Saints GM Mickey Loomis and his team of scouts. The New Orleans hit another home run in 2019 when they drafted C Erik McCoy (Texas A & M) in the 2nd round. McCoy entered training camp as the #2 center behind their free-agent acquisition C/G Nick Easton (Vikings). Sean Payton quickly noticed McCoy’s talents. McCoy unseated Easton weeks into the camp and never relinquished the role as the team’s starter. Profootball Focus graded McCoy as 76.2 overall, 77.0 in pass blocking, and 76.0 in run blocking. McCoy had 8 penalties and allowed only one sack in 1058 offensive snaps on the season.

The Saints have drafted highly productive offensive lineman under Sean Payton. The names of T Jahri Evans, T Zach Strief, T Carl Nicks, T Jermon Bushrod, T Terron Armstead, T Andrus Peat, and T Ryan Ramczyk have anchored the Saints offensive line while protecting Drew Brees most seasons. The Saints have drafted the tackle the most. Only former LSU OL Will Clapp and C Erik McCoy were drafted for the Saints interior since 2006. Evans, Nicks, and Peat moved to the guard positions and excelled.

INDIANAPOLIS — The New Orleans Saints had just one coaching change this offseason when linebackers coach Mike Nolan departed the Crescent City for Dallas to work as Mike McCarthy's defensive coordinator.

And McCarthy is ready for the road ahead with Nolan leading the Cowboys' defense.

"I think Mike's a fantastic football coach," McCarthy told The Times-Picayune | New Orleans Advocate on Wednesday. "He's someone on a personal level that I hold in high regard. He's...

How LSU's Justin Jefferson transformed himself from an afterthought into a top prospect

  • News source: BY LUKE JOHNSON | Staff writer

INDIANAPOLIS — Justin Jefferson has been working toward this moment at the NFL Scouting Combine longer than you might think.

This has been a years-long process, not just a few months of pre-draft training at a fancy facility. Diligently, quietly, Jefferson has been plugging away at this since he first arrived at LSU as a scrawny walk-on in an ungainly number. He was in the shadows then. No longer.

Now, Jefferson is one of the top receivers in a draft class that is...

INDIANAPOLIS — After nearly four hours of deliberating, the NFL's player representatives voted in favor of sending the proposed collective bargaining agreement to the players as a whole on Wednesday.

The NFLPA announced the the news at nearly 1 a.m. CT.

Seventeen player reps voted for the CBA, while 14 voted against and one abstained, as reported by NFL Network's Tom Pelissero and ESPN's Dan Graziano. Because it did not pass by a two-thirds majority, the proposal...

Predicting the NFC South quarterbacks for 2020

  • News source: Chris Dunnells
  • Replies: 0
We’ve mock drafted the 2020 NFL Draft until it can’t be mocked any more. We’ve mocked the entire offseason. We’ve predicted the 2020 Saints quarterbacks. But now, let’s predict now just the starting quarterback for New Orleans, but all four teams in the NFC South.

This one is now confirmed. Drew Brees is returning. Who plays behind him (or splits time with him at quarterback) is to be determined, but Drew will be the starting quarterback for the New Orleans Saints...

As he returns, Drew Brees needs to improve playoffs performances

There will be a familiar “Number 9” jersey taking snaps under center for the New Orleans Saints in the 2020-2021 NFL season. Drew Brees is coming back to the Saints for one more season, and that deep exhale you’ve just heard came from the great city of New Orleans. Think about it, there are some 12-year old Saints fans who know nothing but the Saints as a winning franchise with Drew Brees as their quarterback. I know, crazy right?

Yet, in the midst of all the...

NFLPA to send new Collective Bargaining Agreement to players for vote

  • News source: cajuncommando58
  • Replies: 0
Some early morning breaking news. The NFLPA voted overnight to send the new CBA to the players for a vote.

As previously reported this would mean 7 playoff teams, one bye team per conference, and a 17-game regular season with one less preseason game. Of note, the 17 game season would not take affect until 2021.

Of importance to the players is the increased revenue sharing - they would now receive 48%, possibly up to 48.5%, (or over 5 billion added dollars) of the...

New Orleans Saints offseason preview: Tight End

  • News source: BobRose
  • Replies: 0
The New Orleans Saints surprised most people by not selecting either a wide receiver or tight end during the 2019 NFL draft. The Saints would make a free agent splash by signing Pro Bowler Jared Cook to a two-year contract, adding a playmaking element to the position that had been lacking since trading Jimmy Graham after the 2014 season. The Saints enter the 2020 offseason still in search of offensive playmakers. Today we examine the possibility of adding such a...

INDIANAPOLIS — NFL coaches and front office personnel are creatures of habit, which may explain some of the reactions among them when asked about the changes to the NFL Scouting Combine this year.

“It’s funky,” Seattle Seahawks general manager John Schneider said. “It’s really weird.”

“The first thing that kind of hits you in the face is the schedule, how everything’s been redone,” Jacksonville Jaguars coach Doug Marrone said.

“There’s always some good in change...

INDIANAPOLIS — It's no secret that LSU's Joe Burrow grew up a fan of the New Orleans Saints. The Heisman winner has talked about his non-geographically based childhood team for months.

And now, Burrow has had the opportunity to pick the brain of Saints quarterback Drew Brees — who Burrow said was his childhood idol.

"I saw him last week and we were just talking ball. And you know, I was trying to be all cool, like, 'Yeah, I know what I'm talking about.' But then...

2020 New Orleans Saints draft prospects: Amik Robertson

A New Orleans Native, Amik Robertson has picked up the reputation as one of the best playmaking defenders in college football. No, he’s not a Power-5 Conference guy. Despite that, you cannot ignore his destruction of his competition. He also has some quality opponents on his resume performing admirably against Collin Johnson (6’6”) and the Texas Longhorns in 2019 and LSU in 2018.

During that Texas Game, LA Tech sent him on a blitz from off the perimeter and Collin...
