Why SJB over Desir?
Posted on 5/9/14 at 9:26 pm

I was really hoping they'd take Desir if he was still there. Any thoughts as to why they had Jean-Babtiste higher?

No desire

Because no one wanted to hear Chris Berman say "The Saints are riding A Streetcar Named Desir!!!" during every highlight show

cause he's actually played against guys that will play in the NFL

Jean-Baptiste sounds more French

He might be there in the 4th. Kid has talent and potential but very unproven.

Because Bo Pelini

Dessir falling. What was that community college again?

We didn't think SJB would be there. He was a late 1st/early 2nd guy. Played against better competition. And like someone said, very high ceiling.
He fell to us and we jumped all over it.

try again.
lower than a football feeder community college.Posted on 5/9/14 at 9:35 pm to KG5989

Those are good points.
Yes, I watched Draft Academy, and it made me really like the dude (Desir)

Lindenwood
Actually, that's where Deron Parquet wound up when he left LSU and Memphis.
They get occasional decent talent at Lindenwood. Lived near STL briefly. They take a lot of decent kids with "issues."

I liked Desir too, but I think all the rankings I saw had SJB rated higher. I really thought SJB would be gone before it got around to our pick.

SJB was getting Richard Sherman comps... Hard to knock that logic
