I'm dreaming but it sure would be nice if they trade away this last 3rd round pick for a 4th and a 5th or 6th.

Giving up a 3rd rounder for a 4th and 6th would be asinine.

And there goes Basham to the Colts.

 

[Saints 318]

Finally picking up the pace..

Colts select Tarell Basham - DE Ohio

 

[Saint Greg]

Carl Lawson
Derek Rivers

 

[WhoDat_SB44]

We must have a Onyemata type of DE we like later on. I think we take Willis if he made it there, but who knows with this team sometimes.

No immediately useful pass rushers will be left by the Saints next pick. I'm guessing they pick WR and dodge the questions during the press conference.

SI's player comparison

Anzalone is an ultra-athletic linebacker who just could not stay healthy at Florida. If he does, he easily could be the best playmaker in the Saints’ linebacking corps—and that’s as of 2017, not beyond. It’s a risk, but also addresses a need for New Orleans as it tries hard to fix its defense.
Scouting report: Anzalone plays without a governor, taking on big bodies at the line and using his top-shelf pursuit speed to shoot into the backfield cover a lot of east-west ground—he had the third-fastest 40 time among non-Jabrill Peppers linebackers at the combine. When Anzalone lets himself get locked onto a defender, he doesn’t always have the strength to shed him and get to the ball. He had his last two seasons cut short by injuries—a shoulder injury in 2015, a broken forearm in ’16—that should raise some concern about his ability to hold up as an every-down player over 16 games.

Don't understand the fascination with injury prone LBers

Washington takes... Fabian Moreau CB, UCLA

 

[Joodas Avila]

Praying Derek Rivers falls to us at 103.

 

[Eeyore]

Jourdan Lewis has been ESPN's top rated player for nearly an entire round and now players at his position are going over him.

Anzalone looks a little small and raw to me. Also what is the deal with him running the ball he's listed as an OLB - https://youtu.be/Y578KxVieUI

Even if a good pass rusher is available when we pick again Saints are probably going to pass them up again , if we haven't drafted one by now we aren't
