I don't think the Saints could go wrong with this guy somewhere in the 2nd round. maybe package one of those 3rd picks to move back in the 2nd. The first pick in the 2nd round needs to be spent on a guard.
#5- Kenneth Grant- (NT) Michigan (6'3"/339#)
Grant is an excellent run defender with the ability to anchor and hold his ground against double teams. He is disruptive in the backfield, capable of playing both single and two-gap techniques. He's a powerful tackler with good burst, lateral agility and closing speed in the backfield.
In pass defense, Grant has an impressive first step, putting immediate pressure on offensive linemen and QB's. Grant has strong hand usage, consistently swatting away blockers and maintaining upper-body strength when rushing the passer.
Grant is effective in multiple defensive alignments, displaying versatility across the line. He's adaptable to different NFL defensive schemes.
However, he does need to be a little more consistent maintaining his pad level and developing a wider repertoire of pass rush moves.
Grant is and athletic marvel with a combination of exceptional size, explosiveness and raw power. His ability to disrupt the run game and collapse the pocket makes him a key addition to any NFL defensive front. Grant's versatility allows him to excel in both 4-3 and 3-4 schemes, providing flexibility for defensive coordinators looking to maximize his impact. If he refines his his technique and expands his pass rush arsenal, he can develop into a disruptive presence on any defensive line and make a significant contribution from day one.
Analysts have Grant going in 2nd round.
