httrMP Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 I like the pick but really thought the team could've moved down some and still gotten him. Oh well, need addressed, Alabama defense build continues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bacon Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 I wanted Edmunds, personally, but I can't really complain about a pro-ready run-stuffer, which we needed in the worst way. Wish we could have traded down maybe 5 picks, but it wasn't in the cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinC Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Before people start jumping off bridges here, below is the NFL draft guide summary on Payne. Overview Payne possesses one of the most impressive combinations of strength and athleticism that we've seen from an interior lineman. He will be the premier run-stuffer in this draft, but he may have enough in the pass rushing toolbox to project as a better pro than college pass rusher. Payne is a game-ready starter who immediately upgrades a defense's ability to slow the run. If teams view him as just a run-down player, then his draft value could fall a little, but he could become a Pro Bowl defender early in his career.

The Saints gave up next year's first rounder to grab a mid level DE! Which is a big reason why we think our pick was suspect. We could have had those two first rounders.

ToaCommander Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 I hope we get the Payne that played in the playoffs not the one during the season. Well its done so Tomsula, fly him in tomorrow so you can start teaching him how to consistently beat double teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dyst Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Don’t mind the pick at all. Build up both lines please. We have ignored them for far to long. Seems we aren’t the only ones passing on James. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoggLife Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Funny how every year we say we need to draft the big uglies. Then get mad when we draft a safety or wr. In our division we needed Vea or Payne. I love that we have 3 Alabama defenders that were teammates. And we can say Bring The Payne everytime he stuffs the run and/or makes a sack.

The chance that Payne is a finished product is low. The chance Tomsula can make him realize his potenial that's what will tell the tale of this pick.

Skinsinparadise Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 1 minute ago, mistertim said: Based on nothing but hype IMO. His game tape doesn't really show anything special and his production was laughably bad. You can tell Cooley doesnt want to dampen fans enthusiasm about the pick but its not hard to read that he thinks it was a bad pick. He has gotten shots in about Payne and the lack of value of the pick. Sheehan just goes Cooley you are not happy. Personally, I dont think the dude is going to be a bust. But IMO there were clear better talented players at that spot. I liked the depth too at DT in the next round. So not a fan of this pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Commando Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 We're not too good for the best NT prospect to come out in a while. Kid was the heart of two of the best CFB defenses ever, and played a big role on a third. He's a champion and our soft ass defense just got way tougher and better. People who haven't seen him will trash him for lack of stats and meanwhile he'll spend his career playing on top five defenses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
