This is a great signing.
Really great.

Dural was my second favorite receiver at LSU the last few years.
There were times when he was the only guy who could catch a ball on the team.
Considering his straight-line speed, he could be a beast for us.

Thomas
Snead
Ginn

Are the locks

Coleman I'm about 90% sure will be


Outside of that, not much competition. He could absolutely make the team

He certainly has a shot, only 3 WRs on the roster truly have a spot IMO. We usually carry only 4 or 5, leaving 1-2 spots, one of those will likely be Coleman. So he has to beat out:

Corey Fuller
Jake Lampman
Rashad Lawrence
Tommylee Lewis
Jordan Williams-Lambert
Any other UDFA WRs (rumor speedy noil might sign with us)

Gotta like his chances. Only guy there who is really worth a frick is Tommylee, which to be fair will be an uphill battle. Payton loves Tommylee.

He plays right with Brees and could be a surprise

He definitely has a chance to make it. He's a good deep threat(much better deep threat than Tommylee). Might even be able to play special teams.

We keep 6 WR's sometimes by the end of the season. He could make the PS, then get called up later as well.

As mentioned, his only true competition will be Tommylee

Of all the Tiger prospects, Saints sign the one who can't separate from a wet bag.

He didn't run a good 40(which is why he didn't get drafted), but he's a pretty good deep threat. He might not separate very good on intermediate routes, but he gets open down the field. Doesn't drop the ball either.

Yeah all bs aside he has some wheels, he can take the spot Cooks played and Ginn will play in 2-3 years if he developed right with us. LSU qbs beens destroying draft stock for years, I still feel Jordan Jefferson robbed Terrence Tolliver of a career.

Struggled most of the year because of his hamstring surgery. If healthy, he has speed.

Speed, good hands, and is pretty tough. Dural is a competitor and should be fully healthy this year

Worst case scenario.....
He could be added to the practice squad with Arrington and Toon for the next 12 years!

could benefit from some WR coaching, the guys he had his last 2 seasons were pretty terrible coaches
