I'm happy with any player from any school as long as it is a good value.

Tigers are no different. ODB or Landry could play a role for the Saints. Getting either at #27, 58, or 97 are all vastly different propositions. NO at 27, maybe 58, 97 fo sho

I would love to have OBJ, Landry, or Hill, but their value to the Saints would be lower than it would to other teams. I would love to have Landry in the slot. Great hands, can take a lick, but we have Moore. He could be other teams 2ns receiver, whereas on the Saints, he would be the third or fourth option.

Hill should be a great running back, he has all of the tools, but we need to reduce numbers at that position, not add more.I don't think he'll fall to the third round even with his "legal problems"

J Hill would be awesome in round 3.

Harper 2.0. Good in run support. Sucks in coverage.

Loston is slightly better than Harper in coverage. he has proven he can read a QB and pick off the occasional pass.

I want Hill so bad as I think we can get him for incredible value in the 3rd.

Add Hill, cut Sproles and Thomas, and we just significantly increased our talent while getting much younger.

Hill is going to be a multiple Pro Bowler in the NFL.

OBJ would fit a great need, and 27 is about the range he is supposed to go. Saints need a player to stretch the field. I like Landry as well, but he is too similar to most of the Saihts current targets. He has great hands, but he lacks speed.

That's why I said Watkins in the other thread. Ideal for Saints, but probably won't be there when they draft.

Second round pick should be best available WR. The top 10 WRs this year are all sick, so can't go wrong with any of them.

This might be against the grain, but I think Jeremy Hill is gonna be a Deuce clone. Problem is, right now we have a crowded backfield and a weak line.

If and I don't see it happening...Hill is there in the 3rd you can not pass him up...I don't think we have to worry about it at all...he will not be there. However just like Ricky and Deuce you can not pass on that kind of talent with that kind of value. You always draft franchise changing caliber players when they are on the board.

Beckham or Landry I would grab in the 3rd as well...so yes at best I would draft 1 LSU player in the 3rd...Im more on the Mike Evans or Benji FSU pain train for our 1st but if we miss then I could happily delay on picking WR till the 3rd

Hill in the third would be a huge reach for him. Take the purple and gold glasses off. Hill is maybe the 5th best RB in the draft, a multiple Pro Bowler, not likely. Carey kid from Arizona, Carlos Hyde, and Tre Mason are all better than him. There are zero RB projected in the first round, so in the third you could probably get Carlos Hyde even still on the board.
Granted, Hill does have great speed but almost all of his long runs were due to excellent blocking and 9 people in the box. Too many times he gets pressure in the backfield and can't do anything. There was nothing he did all season to make me believe he is any better than Robinson or Ingram.

I would love both OBJ or Jarvis Landry if we could get both. Either one would be a good pick in the third
