Saints Go Offensive, Take Wisconsin OL Ryan Ramczyk To Close First Round

Thursday night, the Saints selected Ohio State cornerback Marshon Lattimore with the 11th pick.

“Lattimore is a true press man to man corner. I didn’t go on a visit though, but I talked to them at the combine”.

That’s why I don’t think you can judge these guys, individually.

“We look at him as a right tackle, “coach Sean Payton said during a news conference to end the night“. But he slid to the Saints, who desperately need help on that side of the ball after three 7-9 seasons in a row. They also ranked second-to-last in points allowed with 28.4. He was named first-team AP All-American and first-team All-Big Ten. New Orleans had drafted Andrus Peat in the first round two years ago and has the established Zach Strief across from him, so Ramczyk may not play immediately.

He said he is healthy now and using methods such as acupuncture in an effort to avoid another recurrence.

Like many recent Ohio State defensive backs, it took a little bit of time for Lattimore to see the field, but when he did he made his impact felt.

And that’s probably the main reason why the Saints never wound up trading for New England Patriots cornerback Malcolm Butler, another example of their patience paying off.

“I’ve played outside typically, but I can adjust and learn how to play inside”.

At 6-foot-6, 310 pounds Ramcyzk is surprisingly explosive off the line.

“He’s the guy that you want to play for, I know that”, LSU cornerback Tre’Davious White said of LeBeau.

Butler trade not completely closed: I assumed drafting Lattimore meant the Saints had closed the book on trading for Butler or Rams cornerback Trumaine Johnson. Delvin Breaux has been New Orleans’ top player at that spot.

While extremely talented, Lattimore is inexperienced, having played in only 16 college games, while being only a starter for one season.

Despite only 14 career starts at Ohio State, it’s abundantly clear that Marshon Lattimore has high-end traits for the cornerback position. 10 overall pick past year to select former Buckeye corner Eli Apple. “Our grade on Ryan is the top half of Round 1”. “Not everybody gets to do that”. Armstead is the Saints’ current left tackle and, like previously mentioned, could soon be a free agent.

Early draft analysis by CBS Sports had Williams as a top safety in the 2018 draft, but he chose to forego his final season at Utah to enter the 2017 draft.

The Bengals traded down in the second round on Friday and took Mixon with the 48th overall pick, putting them back in the spotlight as a place known for giving second and third chances.
