Players Saints looking at in the Senior Bowl... (1 Viewer)

[harry383]

Not trying to be a homer but Ali Highsmith has been getting the praises of Mike Singletary....im not saying, but im just saying....he would be an awesome 2nd round pick if he is there

QB
John David Booty (QB, USC)

[

I was reading the QB scouting reports over on espn and was thinking Booty would be a good 4th rounder. He is a west-coast system QB, and his greatest strengths are accuracy, qb smarts, and leadership. Hmm, that sounds like a guy we already have on our roster. I think he wears #9. Booty would be a great QB to groom behind him

Why are the Saints looking at Andre Fluellen of Florida State at DT? He's not on any all-ACC teams. Why not look at Dre Moore (first-team all-ACC) from Maryland as a DT? Maybe DT is not considered a pressing need, and they are looking at later-round potential?

Not every great NFL players was a great college player.

Add Dantrell Savage, RB Oklahome State, to the list:

"Just because I am small, (NFL teams) are concerned because they want to see how I block someone bigger. I'm not concerned, though," Savage said. "They tell me they are impressed with my strength because I am so small and it surprises them that I can be physical."

Savage said the New England Patriots, New Orleans Saints, Atlanta Falcons, Washington Redskins and Miami Dolphins have shown the most interest in him, but with a good game Saturday, other teams could give him some attention.

"Basically since I have been here, I have progressed real well," Savage said. "I think I have been improving day by day and that's a good deal for me."

I know. It's just I'd love to see a Terp player on the Saints.

 

[Bless U Boys]

I'd love to see a Terp player on the Saints.

I'm sure they have a basketball playa that could convert to TE?

Nope. They're all spindly. Perhps Osby, but I'm unsure of his hands.

Oh well, I'll settle for Dre Moore at DT and Erin Henderson at LB

 

[deuce4pres]

Serna is the guy that missed all the kicks against LSU in 2004.

And he didnt miss a single extra point every game since that one

I know. It's just I'd love to see a Terp player on the Saints.

I'd take a look at the RB Ball in the later rounds.

What we can take away.

- We are obviously looking at CBs.
- We have looked at a lot of WRs, but the list includes a lot of guys who return kicks and punts. I would guess that we have identified a need at returner more than at receiver.
- We may try to fill the holes we currently have at center and tight end (both centers and our top two TEs are free agents) through the draft.
- We may be looking to bring in a situational pass rusher. All the DEs we looked at are quite undersized.
- We may bring in a kicker.

Well Titus Brown started his career at MSU as a LB and he has been called a tweener because he may end up being a LB or DE in the Pros. He has the frame to add more weight to be a bigger DE or lose a little weight to gain more speed to be a LB. He would be a good back up and speed rusher on third downs.

I wouldn't mind seeing UGA K Brandon Coutu brought in (not as a draft pick) he was money for UGA.

Houston WR Donnie Avery is fast....could be a KR/PR same with Bama's DJ Hall.

From what everyone has said about Cromartie I would love to see him here next season.

The one thing I do know is our expectations for the team for next year will be set fairly soon once we see who we get in free agency and the draft. Once we see what kind of moves we do on draft day and who we end up taking(no Pittman-like moves please) will help (this board especially) see what we are looking at for next year.

Geaux Saints!!!

hmm.. everyone saying we can't get ellis or dorsey if we stay at 10.. how about taking Dan Conner in the first.. and grabbing a guy like Okam in the 2nd..

Conner has not look good this week. Too inconsistant, slow, and got ran over numerous times today. Not worth 10th pick.

 

[saintmdterps]

I'd take a look at the RB Ball in the later rounds.

We may be able to get him via ufa, but his 12 rushing td's may increase his worth.
