re: Seen a draft spotlight over weekend on Marqise Lee

My only issue is that we've seen other athletes with these checkered pasts that catch up to them like Desean Jackson or Aarron Hernandez. Not saying Lee is like any of these guys, it just raised a red flag.

It's amazing what forgotten people from the past show up once a guy attains huge money and fame. Lee may have overcome all of that and it would be a non-issue. Still, as an NFL GM and owner who are about to make a large investment in a player, it would give me pause for concern.

Also, could you provide a link, please?

Getting old to call people out on their opinions by asking for links.

Worldwide epidemic. I blame Roger. Had the draft been this past weekend, like normal, we wouldn't be talking about any of these bums. Only the guy we drafted.

I'm praying we don't take this guy.

You have God's attention

I've seen a lot of different opinions on Lee.

obviously his speed and quickness stand out. seems like a tough kid too, plays through pain.

I've also read where he's been criticized for not handling tight coverage very well on intermediate and deep passing plays. Its not that he doesn't have the speed to beat the coverage so much, its just how reacts to aggressive coverage.

meh...

but you'd think he could do alright in the Saints offense because Brees gets rid of the ball quickly most of the time. That's a staple of a West Coast offense... is it not?

also seen people talking about the dropped passes. Not that it matters... but maybe the reason he's had some problems there is because he's pressing too hard? Maybe he's thinking about what he's going to do after the catch and just lets the ball in too much without just concentrating and going up and making the catch?

He looked like an electrifying player a few years ago and I remember thinking... god it would be badass if he somehow got picked by the Saints.

Never thought it would be a possibility but after being hurt some in 2013 and playing with a different QB after Barkley left, there is a chance he'd be there when we pick.

So basically there is only one thing that is certain about this year's draft.... our first round pick is likely going to piss off around half this board if not more

played against very week defenses.

Yeah, let's not draft any non-SEC players.

Brandin Cooks played against weak PAC defenses too

What a stupid damn post. You point out draft picks from the first 3 rounds and say "mostly average". Are you shitting me.

Seems to me the 1st rounders have produced better than average. The 3rd rounders have done what 3rd rounders are expected to do, contribute.
Point out another university with significantly better results...genius.

This anti-LSU bullshite is getting to be ridiculous. If you're going to talk shite, come with some facts.
