The New Orleans Saints have had great luck at finding skill position players from smaller schools. Wideouts Marques Colston (Hofstra), Deonte Harris (Assumption), Lance Moore (Toledo), Willie Snead (Ball St.) and running backs Chris Ivory (Tiffin), Khiry Robinson (West Texas A&M) are a few players from lesser-known colleges acquired during the Sean Payton era.
New Orleans could look to add another wideout in this year s draft. Quarterback Drew Brees announced his retirement this offseason, and the team will want to give new quarterback Jameis Winston as many targets as possible to succeed.
Concern about him being an older rookie at 24 years old (birthday is March 23, 1997).
With his size and position, the concerns come from the length of his career, especially with his aggressive nature as a player.
Could have more technique in his release packages to help get him going quicker and easier.
Catch radius isn’t small, but it isn’t a big one, either.
Can get a little too cute after the catch or as a returner and needs to be a little more decisive.
Overview
Eskridge has really risen up boards thanks to a strong Senior Bowl performance that really caught a lot of folks’ attention. While he may be limited to a slot receiver, he can attack every level of the field.
Ryan Pace scored a big win with last year s draft but within it was one error in judgment now looming as large thorn in their plans for the 2021 NFL Draft.
