Guard, Penn St

I know that a lot of mocks today don't have him that high, but he looked ridiculously good at the combine and draft community is already starting to talk about him as maybe top 10

Just something to consider

If Loomis picks a Guard in the top 10 he should be drug into the streets and shot.

If we were to do o-line that high, I would pick Freeling instead. 34 3/4" arms, 9.99 RAS

I'd love him IF the Saints traded down.

But I can't see him going that high.

And given the Saints history, he'd better have a super high RAS to help justify the pick.

Trade down to 16 jets. Take him there if you like and get the jets #1 in the second round.

PFF already jumped him from 22nd (LAC) to 14th (Balt) over the last few hours

There are plenty of very good guards available in the 2nd & 3rd round this year. No need to spend a high 1st on a guard.

Earlier this year, I thought we might jump into the back half of the 1st to take him. He's got crazy upside with a high floor. Thay dream is now gone.

Love the player but they won’t pick a guard that high.

I have just one thing to say.. If somehow Bain is at 8 and the Saints pass on him.. I won't say what I will do because I could be arrested....

Hes a very good player for a team drafting late in the first and not needing impact players. can't do guard at 8.

The way the draft is looking, if Downs, Reese, Bailey, Styles, love are all gone, i wouldn't mind a trade back to look at him, sadiq, delane depending the trade spot.
