“As perfect as Alvin Kamara. What is it with the Saints picking up undervalued Tennessee players recently? First it was Alvin. Then last year they signed Shy Tuttle as an undrafted free agent and he started several games for them. And now they get a guy who I think is gonna be one of the biggest steals in this draft.
Living in Tennessee I can answer this one. They have been a very unstable team for years (thankfully I think Pruitt finally has them on the right path.) Lots of coaching changes, lots of QB changes...doesn't bode well for consistency or National exposure. I also had Kamara highly ranked because I knew what he was capable of. But in college you had Butch Jones playing Jalen Hurd over Kamara for unknown reasons (after quitting on the Vols Hurd moved on...and has now been converted to a receiver with the 49ers if that tells you anything.) So Tennessee was fully capable of recruiting 5 star talent...they just haven't been using them to their full potential so they fly under the radar (that's been going on since the days of Jason Whitten.) I'm keeping my eye on Jajuan Jennings at SF because I loved that guy at UT.
