Draft Talk - SOLB

TruSaint said
Few players im wondering where exactly they would play if we drafted them to the Saints:

Bjoern Werner - reminds me a ton of Ryan Kerrigan and Paul Kruger, people who projected as 4-3 defensive ends but surprisingly look good enough in linebacker drills, after trying to land kruger I think he is the type of player we are looking to land and would be a great 3-4 strongside backer and has the perfect size for it at 6"3 265. He doesnt have elite speed but he does have elite quickness and violent hands, he is good at getting to the QB and versus the run and is the player i really hope we land.

Ansah - looks like a great 4-3 end, could also play as a wolb rushing the QB but i wonder with his athleticism and strength if he could be a SOLB with his ability to also stop the run

Damontre Moore - people get wrapped up in 40 times but they are overrated, what u look for in a pass rusher is quickness. Moore is quick and has a knack for getting to the QB and making plays in the backfield for tackles for loss.

Werner has the the same physical characteristics as Kerrigan and Kruger but he doesn't have the football IQ or anywhere near the motor. Find some game film of him that isn't just highlights and you'll see while his stock has fallen.

Ansah is a great athlete but looking at his production he is a project at best and will be a 4-3DE .

Moore projects best at 3-4 Will but watching him he look way too similar to Jerry Hughes.

While Ryan doesn't ask his SAMs to cover much sometimes its unavoidable and when you're looking at picking at 15 you want a 3 down player who isn't going to be a project.
