Got Josh Allen at 3 he went at 6
I win
I win
I got Matthew Stafford and in real life, he’s not even on the block.
Winner.
With the 62nd pick, the New Orleans Saints select:
Andy Isabella | WR | UMass
Team needs: QB, TE, WR (slot), DT, OL (Center)
Saints decide to draft for now for perhaps Brees final season and get him a dynamic slot guy. The signing of Cooks at TE helps diminish that need, Isabella is ideal for that offense with his quickness and speed.
Strengths:
Fearless competitor packaged in short but compact frame
Rapid turnover for early access to blazing top gear
Much more than just a short-area possession target
Formidable deep threat with ability to climb past coverage
Sudden anchor drop on intermediate patterns leaves corners on skates looking for brakes
Routes feature sharp, leveraged angles at a relentless pace
Early to re-accelerate after fakes, breaks and cuts
Elite short-area separation juice to open passing windows
Unscripted dashes to open areas when quarterback leaves the pocket
Creates after catch with play strength and elusiveness
Clever change-of-pace tactics stall tacklers and open the corner
Gashed Georgia defenders with 15 catches for 219 yards and 2 TDs
Offers added value as punt returner.
Weaknesses:
Restricted escape angles against press could offer challenge
Not much experience against corners with NFL speed and strength
Can be shoved off the route path by solid contact
Obvious catch-radius limitations due to size
Chronic body catcher
Rolling starts lead to excessive false-start penalties
