Jaylen Ford LB/TEX 6'2" 240 LBS
Ford is good at getting to depth and reading quarterbacks in coverage. He tied four-time Pro Bowler Derrick Johnson's Texas season record for interceptions made by a linebacker with four in 2022. He can compete with tight ends and pick up backs in the flat. Ford chases with good effort, flashes above-average stopping power and forced four fumbles over the past two seasons. He shows good bend and burst rushing off the edge and closes well rushing between the tackles.

This should help with special teams.

 

[Zaphod]

This is the first pick I don’t know anything about

 

[SonOfNOLA]

I like the pick for potential LB depth for our run defense. He’s a great run defender who can blow up gaps. He has very suspect pass coverage skills that needs to improve

 

[Saintscuffy]

not sure about this one. Wingo, murphy or someone of that ilk seems beeyer need.

 

[KleinBottle]

I was hoping for the TE but I’m okay with this pick

 

[Snakehead]

The FO is looking at my Mock Simulations. I took Fuaga, Means and Ford a lot.

Sure tackler in the box, with good instincts... and coverage skills.

Not too shabby, sports fans.

We had to get linebacker depth. It's really no way around. Wish we had a higher quality prospect. It's unlikely he makes team.


I'd prefer to draft Wingo.

 

[meily]

The Saints know something about the offensive line and DT we don't know.

I like the pick though, we need that more talent on that unit.

Wingo must have medicals or else he would have been picked rounds ago
