Pete Werner: How do you like the pick? (1 Viewer)

I wanted Jabril Cox. That doesn't make him, or anyone else, the better LB.

**sigh** watch both of the players and then get back to me.

Mike D has his height listed as 6‘ 1” and weight as 233 lb. (that would make him pretty much undersized at OLB). Pretty much every other site has him at 6’ 3” and 242 lb.

Payton must be antsy right now...we haven't selected an offensive player yet.

He's probably operating under the assumption that the defense will have to carry the team this year.

 

[I'm Him...]

Yes, he covered Friermuth one on one and dominated.

Really?! So he’s comparable to Pitts...Ok!

I wanted Jabril Cox. That doesn't make him, or anyone else, the better LB.

So I guess as fans, we totally discount most of the ratings compiled by the experts and rely solely on this staff’s evaluations? Homerism much?

Another armchair GM that thinks he knows more than the professionals...

The fact some of you think drafting a QB is more pressing than LB (for like the third time, Davis is the ONLY legitimate LB on that roster) is crazy to me. I think Winston is going to surprise the entire league next year. I doubt Hill lasts the entire season.

If Winston cuts down on the bad decisions he'll be a top 10 QB in the league. Quote me on that.

Sorry hump, you get a dislike from me on that one.

Hey now, we're all Preacher fans here. Let's keep it classy.

Pete Werner starting to generate late first-round NFL draft buzz

Those of us that follow Ohio State football know that the linebacking corps was a deep and talented one last season. We also know that Pete Werner has some very underrated skills when it comes to h…

All for optimism, but so was Baun

I said sorry! He knows I love him.

 

[I'm Him...]

This draft is gonna get this regime fired, ugh

Shut Up!

 

[Saint Taysom]

I love this pick! Werner is the truth. He’s the next Demario Davis!

 

[SigFreudianSlip]

Sorry but CBS Big Board had him ranked at 129–fringe 4th rounder—behind Cam Sample from Tulane....

That sounds about right. I think he will be Shanle 2.0. Which is ok.

How may of us thought a guy named Alvin Kamara was going to be what he is?! Have some faith in the scouting department and overall team administration. They are a model franchise since Loomis has taken over. Let them do their jobs!

I did. That was a great pick.

Sorry hump, you get a dislike from me on that one.

It’s ok I’ll survive my friend.

Just watched a few minutes of Werner’s live stream interview.. He seems highly intelligent, not at all a meathead, which is obviously what you want in a potential QB of ur defense.

Our new Sam Mills? Lol I wish.

Definitely would've preferred Cox as well. He seemed like a natural fit with a tendency for making flashy big plays. I forget who said it earlier in the thread, but they compared Werner to Shanle and my heart sank just a second, because that's absolutely who he'll end up being.

All I want every draft is for the Saints to select some bruiser LB in the 2-4 round with the skillset of a Paul Posluszny type (less fragile). I hope the Saints draft another LB tomorrow. They desperately need them.

All for optimism, but so was Baun

Baun was kind of a head-scratcher for me. A bit of a tweener Edge guy and they're wanting him to play off the ball. If he flames out, I can't blame him, but I hope we see good things from he and Ruiz this year with an offseason program under their belts.

 

[BuffaloSaint]

Love the IQ part.
Rest of the write up makes me think of Fujita or Shanle.

I mean we won a Super Bowl with those guys.
