Great pick Gandalf!!! I had him high on my list but had to pull the trigger with my last pick on someone else! I was a coin toss between my pick and yours!!With pick #237 the New Orleans Saints select Malcolm Mitchell WR, University of Georgia.
@Rams Until I Die is on the clock.
Community pick is on deck.
Great pick. This kid is from where I live now. I was torn on picking him with my last pick. Not sure I shouldn't have.Great pick Gandalf!!! I had him high on my list but had to pull the trigger with my last pick on someone else! I was a coin toss between my pick and yours!!
Mitchell had a real good combine w/ a 36.0 Vert. and a 129 inch broad! he did 4.45 in the 40 and has a 122.5 SPARQ score!
Nice pick. That 40 time probably held him back, But that's not game speed, as we all know!Alright with their final pick in the draft the Atlanta Falcons select:
Trent Williams S, Colorado State
Measurables
Height: 6″ 3′
Weight: 210
40-yard dash: 4.62
Strengths
Matthews is a vocal leader and was voted a team captain his senior year. His off-the-field behavior clearly demonstrates leadership and responsibility. Matthews is a hard-hitter who tackles ball-carriers with commitment. He feels he has the ability to play any position on the field. Matthews is a versatile athlete who has height on his side. He is also four inches taller than the average NFL defensive back.
Weaknesses
He wasn’t able to participate in CSU’s 2015 bowl game against Nevada due to tearing his ACL in the last regular season game. Matthews doesn’t have a nagging history with injuries so along as he is recovered for rookie camps, his ACL injury shouldn’t hinder his progression.
Potential Fits
Atlanta Falcons, Baltimore Ravens, Miami Dolphins, Pittsburgh Steelers
Final Thoughts
Matthews volunteering with schools and youth football leagues shows his love for the game and his willingness to help others with success. He appears to have a high football IQ which could certainly enhance his playing ability in the NFL.
If the on-field performance is there, Matthews already possesses the humble mindset looked for in NFL athletes. He ranks as the 10th free safety in the 2016 NFL Draft.
This pick is for the Colts right? I'll second it.Considering we have to do another Community pick, before we can move on I Nominate DT - Connor Wujciak - Boston, Anyone want to 2nd and 3rd it!?
That is right it's for the Colts! Do I have a 3rd? anybody!?This pick is for the Colts right? I'll second it.
That's one hell of a draft for the Saints IMO.The Saints feel they filled a lot of their needs, especially on defense and got good value with potential first round picks in the 2nd and 3rd rounds.
