This guy looks pretty good, one of the best undrafted players.

He was the fourth best FA according to ESPN Insider (Scouts Inc.) And draft countdown had him pegged as a mid rounder. Btw, Casillas was the seventh best FA according to the same article. So it looks like they're doing a good job getting some more talent in there, which is especially important this year with the limited draft choices.

AUGUSTUS PARRISH
Kent State
T
6-4
302
5.35

Parrish is like Fletcher in that he projects to be a career backup at best. He's an athletic and highly-regarded small school prospect, but with the emphasis on "small." It's hard to imagine calling anyone who is 6-4 and 302 pounds "small," but compare him to Jammal Brown, John Stinchcomb, Jermon Bushrod, or Zach Strief and you see that he's 10-15 pounds lighter. Perhaps he has the athleticism to earn himself a spot on the 53-man roster in a backup role; perhaps he can add more weight without losing speed or agility. Perhaps; but still, I can't see him becoming a starter any time soon—not on one of the most talented lines in the league. Except in case of disaster.

"If he plays with greater intensity and better technique, he could become a starter; however, the odds are Parrish will end up being a backup tackle." (SN)

"One of the more athletic linemen in the country, Augustus Parrish has vastly improved every year." (WF)

"Parrish received limited exposure playing at Kent State in the Mid-American Conference. He started the past three seasons at left tackle, receiving second-team All-MAC honors as a junior and senior. Although he may fit best inside in the NFL, scouts believe he can make the transition because of his mobility and determination. Don't be surprised if Parrish is one of the two or three MAC players typically drafted in the first three rounds next April." (NFLDS)

I vote for BluesLover to be an Admin over the Saints Board if he already is not. His posts are the most informative and detailed.

if he is that athletic we should try him at left tackle and move jammal brown to right tackle, let him dominate and see where it takes us, are just switch them. couldn't hurt to see if it works.
