re: Draft Talk

still trying to stir up some talk about sumpin other than bountyfarce...

Defensive Tackle
With Ellis all but gone another try for a game changing DT could happen. I like flying with Bunkley, Hicks, Johnson myself. The playmaking game changer needed up front could be in the middle though as a mid 1st Rd BPA out of these guys.-

John Jenkins, Georgia, 6-3, 350. He could be the Dontari Poe of this year’s draft. Jenkins is huge, but doesn’t always play to his size. As one talent evaluator said, “The No. 1 thing he is is big.” As a player, Jenkins is inconsistent. He flashes ability. He is a pure bull rusher with a strong lower body. He can hold the point well. He has explosive hands and can shed blockers. He is expected to test and run well and boost his stock, making people forget his tape.

Sheldon Richardson, Missouri, 6-3, 290. He is a good mix of size and athleticism, and can hold the point and rush a little. He is most effective over the guard, probably as a three technique. He also could play end in a 3-4. He has what it takes to become an NFL starter.

I count Hankins & Lotulelei as highly probable already gone by the Saints pick. Short seems to have very mixed reviews so far (like Richardson) as to his value round-wise. The rest don't look up to BPA range for the Saints.
