Trying to convince myself Lattimore is a great pick. Jeff Duncan thinks so .... "I conducted five mock drafts leading up to this day and not one of them had Lattimore to the Saints, primarily because I never thought he would be available at No. 11. Few did. NFLDraftScout.com ranked Lattimore as the fifth best overall prospect in the draft. NFL Network analyst Mike Mayock and ESPN ranked Lattimore sixth. Former NFL scout Chris Landry had four cornerbacks graded as immediate starters in this draft and Lattimore led the list."
Don't do it Mickey Former Notre Dame quarterback DeShone Kizer hasn’t played a down in the NFL yet, but he’s already picked up on an important truism: before the draft, it’s important to play sharp, but on the night of the draft, you’ve got to look sharp. Kizer will be sporting a lavendar suit with a sasquatch sewn into the lining … the corporate logo of Jack Links beef jerky, of course. As part of their deal, Jack Links helped with a donation to the Andrew Weishar Foundation, an organization devoted to aiding “families with adolescents or young adults stricken with cancer.” Kizer’s former girlfriend Elli Thatcher was diagnosed with cancer during his playing days, and surgery saved her life. Kizer, for his part, made headlines recently when he proclaimed himself in possession of Tom Brady’s brain in Cam Newton’s body. Lofty comparisons, yes, but what would you expect of a guy who’s sporting Sasquatch for the biggest night of his professional life?
His tweet...."Love the pick of Ohio State CB Marshon Lattimore. My #1 CB...9th player on my board. Hamstring issues. An elite cover man. He's a player."
