Ifo is still available, yes? If so I hate the pick. Ifo was a projected 1st rounder before he tore his acl. We don't need him to play immediately and isn't the project this guy is.

Yeah, that's what I was wondering. Ifo must not be nearly ready or didn't impress in interviews (if he did any with us).

This. Injuries happen, remember how screwed we were last year? This is quality depth.

I mean I guess we can't keep them all (CB's) but they are not playing around trying to address defense.

I wonder how much special teams plays in here too.

Atlanta native, #saints CB Damian Swann says he's a Falcons fan, then corrects himself. "I *was* a Falcons fan."

Swann isn't a project player at all. Polished and great in press coverage.

Oh and Ifo is still on the board which means every NFL team has passed on him and it's the 6th round. More to it than the knee.

He is terrible in coverage.

If he is ever asked to play corner for the Saints yall are fricked. Might be a backup safety.

I said press coverage... He's good at pressing WRs at the LOS and that is what Rob Ryan likes to do

it will be between Kyle Wilson, PJ Williams, Breaux, and Swann for the nickel?

course, you need a dime guy too.

is Swann a good tackler? Maybe he can help cover kicks on special teams.

Williams might be a good ST player too. If these guys can't win the nickel spot, they'll have to scrap on special teams early on.

I really want Breaux to make the team. He has too good of a story. He's a good guy too.

I know you can't see the beginning of this play and I know it's against the #4 pick in the draft, but Swann got destroyed like this ALL THE TIME in single coverage. Cost UGA a national championship appearance on that play.



But like I said he did play much better as a hybrid type in Pruitts scheme as a blitzer. He might be able to excel at that, but he is not going to cover anyone.
