Would you be ok with Derwin James?

He’s technically a safety but played CB, S, LB and DE for FSU.

The kid is an athletic freak show. I would love to have him at LB.

The only reason i ask is he’s technically a safety. So would everyone be cool spending a first rounder on him? I think his career lines up with Mark Barron’s but he’s much more athletic. He’s big enough to cover TE’s, fast enough to cover WR’s and RB’s, strong enough to stand up in running plays and he’s a stud at rushing the passer.

Aren't most mocks putting him in the Top 10?

Not that he can't fall mysteriously, but IIRC he's not projected to be anywhere near pick 27.

Most have in projected around 15. With that said- it’s very early on in the process. You never know which guy will slide.

Would love Derwin James

Remember this time last year if you told people Lattimore would fall to us you would’ve been laughed out of the building

A thousand times yes. He’d likely be by far the bpa late in first.

Lattinore, James, Williams is a disgusting young secondary trio

Run to the podium if he’s available and let Vacarro walk. I think he’ll be long gone before Saints pick though.

He won't get past Seattle, but yeah he might be our best case scenario.

This is actually exactly what we need if Vaccaro doesn't re-sign. I don't expect him to be there at #27, but I'd be perfectly happy with the pick (as of right now). That doesn't mean I'll want him in 2-3 months though...Laquon Treadwell was the player that I wanted the most at this point a couple of years ago. Things will change a whole lot by the time the draft rolls around.

Absolutely. That kid is exactly what we wish vaccaro was.

He can play in the box and cover the nickel plus he can actually play over the top like a safety.

I'd be SOO down to take him at 27 as long as we don't resign vaccaro.

I'd only accept it if someone sneaks in and takes Bradley Chubb before 27.

Lololololol at James being available when we pick.

The dude is going top 10, likely top 5, guaranteed.

This is not akin to the Lattimore situation.

If we even hits the 20s we should do whatever is required to get him.
