Tell me what ya'll think of this list so far:

Sean Weatherspoon OLB Missouri- The one guy most Saints fans know because they all hate white football players that aren't QBs, and all the major draft publications keep predicting that we are going to pick him. I like his style of play and certainly his production, but the Saints have invested a lot of time trying to groom their young backup LBs. However, he would be a better fit at SLB than any of the current LBs we have and he seems to be more talented than all of them.

Dan Williams DT UTenn- 6’3 327. Beast. He plays nose tackle and has good enough pass rushing skills that I could certainly see him being picked over Weatherspoon. If he has a freak combine, he may not be there when we draft.

Arrelious Benn WR Illinois- 6’2 214. So we may lose Lance Moore and we’ll still have Colston, Meach, and Devery, but Benn’s stock has dropped A LOT because of Illinois’ shitty offense and Juice Williams. If his stock stays low, he could be too good to pass up, especially if he drops to us in the 2nd. He is a playmaker and I’m sure Payton would love to have him on our offense.

Anthony Davis RT Rutgers- 6'6 330. Pass blocking looks to be a bit of a weakness which is why he won't be picked early in the 1st. He has started at Rutgers since he stepped on campus and made the Freshman All American team. He was a Guard then, so he has a lot of versatility.

Eric norwood- 6’1 252. The Scouts are all over on norwood. He obviously has great pass rushing skills and he actually covers pretty well, but he lacks the speed to drop deap and cover a TE or RB. He was going to come out early last year but was projected to fall to the 4th to 7th round range. With his production, he will go higher than that, but if he falls to us in the 2nd or later, I don’t know how you could pass up on his abilities. His skills may be better suited for a 3-4 OLB, but he can certainly still play in a 4-3 defense.

Roddrick Muckelroy OLB Texas- 6’2 235. Plays WLB but the scouts say he has the ability to play both. He is very good in coverage and lays the wood like Harry Coleman. He plays the run well but doesn’t have the greatest pass rushing skills. Would be a good pick in the 2nd round if he makes it to us.

Brian Price DT UCLA- 6'2 300. His highlight reel was impressive, and he might slip to us in the 2nd. He could add quality depth behind Sedrick Ellis, but I don't think he will be a nose tackle in the nfl.

Mike neal DT Purdue- 6'4 302lbs, 4.92 40yd. He can play either DT spot and he is a factor in both the run and pass game with 5.5 sacks and 11 TFL this year. I haven't seen him play but from what I read he is very impressive and a mammoth. 2-3 round pick.

Anthony Dixon RB Miss ST- 6-1 240. He may not be the prototypical Sean Payton back, but he has good hands and he runs harder than any back we have on our roster. Wouldn’t be a bad 3rd or 4th round pick if we lose any of our backs to FA.

Marvin Austin DT Unc- 6'3' 305 4.8 40yd. As a Freshman, everyone thought he would be the number 1 pick when he was drafted. Since then… not so much. If Al Davis doesn't pick him in the 1st, he may fall to the 2-3 round area. His production hasn't been great but it's not Al Woods bad, so I'd spend a 3rd on him based on talent alone.

Arthur Jones DT Syracuse- 6'4 294. He could have been a 1st round pick this year had he not blown out his knee so he will probably fall pretty low. He would be a steal anywhere past the 3rd if he can come back from knee surgery.

Demarcus Granger DT Oklahoma- 6-3 330. Another guy that, at one time, was thought to be a top 10 pick, but has had surgery after surgery and has made some stupid decisions. We might spend a 7th on him and he still has potential.

Al Woods DT LSU- I know, I know, his production at LSU has been nothing compared to what everyone thought it would be, seeing as how he was a blue chip recruit. LSU hasn't been able to get anything out of any of their Dlineman so it could be the coaching. Either way, if he is available later than the 5th round, why not take a shot on this kid with his measurables and potential? 6-5 350 lbs, 5.1 second 40? If he could free up Big Sed than our run d should see a drastic improvement.

Dead frickiNg serious

I Never said our Rbs don't run hard. I said he just runs a lot harder than all of them. That is not a knock on Mike Bell, Pierre Thomas, Reggie Bush, or Lynell Hamilton. But we may lose 2 of those guys and Dixon would be able to get us the short yards that those guys aren't big enough to.

like i just said, nobody questioned whether he was a hard runner or not, we were just saying he doesn't run harder than every running back on our team

Really? You haven't noticed all the hate for Scott Shanle, Scott Fujita, and Jon Stinchcomb. How they're not "athletic" enough to be starters. Jon Stinchcomb is one of our most "athletic" Olineman. Jeremy Shockey is the exception and not the rule

your links dont prove shite.

the LSU link was him hitting huge holes, not running over people and breaking tackles. credit his O-line for that highlight reel

the next link is him having a good run on Houston...need i say more

didnt click on the 3rd because well you are wrong.

he is good but Mike Bell is way more impressive than those videos, and he is doing it in the NFL

The third was the most impressive. I guarantee that any scout would tell you Dixon is a much more powerful runner than Mike Bell ever will be. Bell gives a lot of effort and he is very good in his own rite, but he doesn't have the size or power Dixon has.

you are comparing a guy that is in college to a guy who has proven himself in the NFL, you are also saying the NFL player will never be a more powerful runner than a current college player.

dixon also isnt gonna come out in the draft as 1 of the top RB's

which is why some Saints fans want to draft Toby Gerhart with our 1st Round Pick when we already have Bell,Bush, and Thomas. Right?

Who gives a frick. There are plenty of guys in college that are better than guys in the nfl. All I'm saying is that the dude runs harder, hits harder, and is much more powerful than any back on the Saints roster.
