It seems like draftable LSU O-linemen have had some bad luck with health/injuries lately: Arnold, Black, Blackwell...

Durability, not a whole lot of starts(due to injuries ), not ideal size or strength.
As to why the Saints took the other guy over him, who knows, other than that's why those guys get paid to watch film and evaluate.

This was SI's summation:
[quote]Analysis: Blackwell is a hardworking and ferocious offensive linemen but a limited athlete with marginal upside. He offers potential as an inexpensive backup who can line up at both guard positions.

it is interesting that the guys that publicly talked the most crap after the nc game didn't get drafted. no correlation but blackwell, peterson, rr, t-bob all not drafted.

Damn ... you're right ... that explains why t-bob was not drafted ... he talked about Miles after NC game.

I would guess that all 32 NFL head coaches think Miles did a crappy job coaching in the NC. I would also think that all 32 GMs think that LSU had way too much talent to get skullfricked all over the football field.
