We know the Saints love their small school guys. Here's a link with a list of the Top 25 small school guys. We have talked about a few of them:

2. Pierre Desir, CB, Lindenwood – 2nd Round
Despite hailing from a division two program, NFL evaluators are very excited for Pierre Desir’s upside. With plus length, body type and physicality across the field, he has the skill set to fit into the new NFL mold at cornerback. Add in that he’s very coachable, has strong character and has already developed by leaps and bounds since his final college game, and it’s clear why teams like him. I’d expect him to land in the top-50 on draft day.
3. Isaiah Crowell, RB, Alabama State – 3rd Round
Character concerns, not on-field ability, are why Crowell in the top running back discussion. With great body control, leverage through traffic and composed and explosive feet up and through the hole, Crowell has NFL starter written all over him. But evaluators are now more than ever cautious about character issues, and after getting kicked out of Georgia as a freshman and negative feedback from his time there, team’s will need to be firm in their character evaluations before they select him in the top-100.

7. Howard Jones, OLB, Shephard – 4th Round
An explosive rusher who can fit as a 4-3 or 3-4 outside linebacker, Howard Jones’s stock is on the rise after a strong NFL Combine and Pro Day performance. Don’t be surprised to see the moldable-athlete Jones in the second round mix.
quote:
15. Dakota Dozier, OG, Furman – 6th Round
The former college right tackle, Dozier is best slated inside at guard which should best utilized his strong hands, physicality in the short area and balance as he works upfield. He could be a dark-horse top-100 selection.
quote:
17. John Brown, WR, Pittsburg State – 6th Round
Thanks to being undersized, having less-than-ideal hand size and hailing from a division two school, Brown won’t get much attention. But after displaying quickness, route polish and consistency against all types of cornerbacks in college and at the Shrine Game, he’s firmly in the late round mix.
quote:
22. Tim Flanders, RB, Sam Houston State – 7th Round
A productive runner at the FCS level for the past three seasons, Flanders is an explosive, balanced interior runner who utilizes his shorter stature and burst well. He fits the mold of a rotational runner in a running back-by-committee roster.

Walt Aikens

6. Walt Aikins, CB, Liberty – 4th Round
One of the biggest NFL Combine snubs this year, Aikens showcased his plus-hip fluidity, athleticism vertically and quick hands on inside reactions. His timing and initial hand use needs some work before he can be a starter, but he has the skill set to be a fringe-top 100 prospect.

they are way too low on Dozier.

I was going to post that. I think this might be slightly outdated, and they hedge their bets by saying he could go much higher. He's probably or 2nd or 3rd round draft pick.

Jordan Tripp intrigues me, MLB from Montana, decent size and athleticism.

3. Isaiah Crowell, RB, Alabama State – 3rd Round
A very balanced back who can run tough between the tackles. Always liked this guy, doubt the saints take a RB in the first 3 rounds though

I'd be down with Crowell. We could just cut ingram now.

I'm ready for to to find something else to run into the ground.

I really like Desire.
Pass on Crowell.

I have to disagree.
I really put Desir as a 4-5th rounder. The film I've seen on him (limited highlight) it shows some pretty terrible angles that he will not be able to overcome on an NFL field in run defense. Decent in coverage but not so much in run defense. His last highlight shows bad coverage that if he played that way against an NFL team the QB could have easily dropped it over his head for a score. I don't know about him. I'm not sold.
