Sedrick Ellis sure would look good in a Saints uniform? Fuggetaboutit. He may be drafted above Dorsey now, and almost certainly top 5. He was a complete beast even though being double-teamed for much of the game. He even got a safety.
Other observations from the game: D. Rogers-Cromartie, CB from Tennesse St., 6-2 181 lbs. looked great. Blanket coverage and made a nice pick. I liked also how he looked back for the ball while running with the receiver. He had a great game.
Dan Conner, MLB from Penn St., 6-3 230 lbs., was always around the ball, looked good in space and had a nice pick. He had been slated as a mid to late first rounder, but I wouldn't mind him at #10 and he'd keep our oreo defense look.
Ali Highsmith, WLB from LSU, 6-0 220 lbs. Some questioned his strength at that size, but he put a FB on his back on a sweep play, shed blocks well and was always around the ball. he looked good in coverage. Too high at #10, but he'll be long gone before we pick in the second round.
Tracy Porter, CB from Indiana, 5-11 181 lbs. Didn't notice much of him coverage which isn't a bad thing since nobody beat him deep. He looked good in run support though, shedding blocks well to make tackles.
Chevis Jackson looked good in run support, didn't notice anything good or bad in pass situations, would be a nice pick in the third round.
Matt Forte, Tulane RB looked like the best RB on the field to me, along with Justin Forsett from California. Forte had a bad fumble also though (created by Sedrick "the beast" Ellis).
Trevor Laws, DT from Notre Dame, 6-1 302 lbs. Looked very quick with good penetration. He put a spin move on the OG that made you think "wow". Also solid in run support. Would look good in a Saints uniform in the second round.
Lavelle Hawkins, WR California, 5-11 186 pounds. Was THE receiver in the game. Very quick and made some fantastic catches. Also looked great as a return man.
Colt Brennan looked like he shouldn't even be drafted in the Arena league. I thought the best QB was Andre Woodson, but he does look a little raw at times. I do like him more than I liked Brady Quinn coming out last year and Woodson is likely to be drafted a little later.
LB's Xavier Adibi from Virginia Tech, 6-2 219 lbs., Keith Rivers from USC, 6-3 237 lbs. and Phillip Wheeler from Georgia Tech, 6-2 235 lbs. also looked good although they didn't do anything spectacular (nor horrible). Overall a good LB class and hopefully if we don't get one at #10 we can get one in the second round.
