I'd say 2nd due to his size, lots of QBs going in the 1st along with multiple RBs and Guards that doesn't usually happen recently. Never know though cause pass rushers are always needed and in demand. Melvin Ingram was undersized and went top 15 although he was tremendous in college and absolutely dominated Senior Bowl week.

I think there's a solid chance that he hits the third round. Size concerns and some might think he doesn't have the quickness to make up for it. Teams really really care about measurables. Good players always drop too far because they're "undersized"

He'd be a solid pickup in the third.

Agreed. I think he will be there in the early, early third. Top 75 pick.

I'd be very disappointed if we let him get that far.

If we get Landry and Obo, add them to Cassius and to Attaochu and I think that's a pretty deep edge rusher corps. Personally, I don't think a lot of teams will run on us, simply because they will be behind and trying to catch up. McKinnon, plus a healthy Garcon and hopefully a rejuvenated Joe Williams and a bolstered offensive line will make this offense a high scoring machine, in my opinion. With Jimmy, they have the look and feel of the '94 niner offense with Ricky as McKinnon, you had Rice and Taylor (Garcon and Goodwin), Brent Jones as Kittle, and Bart Oats as Richburg. On paper, this offense looks high octane. I wouldn't mind this years first three picks being Landry, Obo, and a middle linebacker.

1: Harold Landry, EDGE
2: Ogbonnia Okoronkwo, EDGE
3: Genard Avery, MLB
3: Holton Hill, CB
4: Alex Cappa, OG

Nice post.

I still think Roquan at 9 is the way to go. Add in Lorenzo Carter to play SAM and Ogbonnio Okoronkwo and a young CB and our D would be set.


I would be down with this. Give Pita some PEDs and get ready to rumble.

Of all the pass rushers this dudes game was the most fun to watch imo. I Really hope we get him.

So Saints pick seems perfect to pull the trigger.

Obo is one of my favorite edge guys in the class. His pass rush plan is one of the better I've seen. He's just a little undersized

He didn't do them at the combine...he did have a 6.84 3-cone at his Pro Day which is great. His 10 yard split at the combine was a 1.65 which is good (Landry was 1.59)

Oh, Ok, I thought it was injured or something. Those numbers (as you said) are solid. Love to have him!
Genard Avery or Obo at Sam Backer would be pretty darn solid.

Yup I'd love him in red and gold! He confusing to figure out as far as where he might get drafted. I've seen 1st rd all to way to like the 4th rd.
IF we could get him in the 3rd -
