New Orleans Saints grill Boston College defensive tackle B.J. Raji at NFL Scouting Combine

One of the players the Saints interviewed on Thursday night was Raji, who is projected to be a top-10 overall pick in this year's draft.

Raji said the Saints played the tape from four of his plays from college and asked him to explain in thorough detail what his assignment was, what he was asked to do and what he was looking for in each situation.

The Denver Post doesn’t believe that the Broncos would let Boston College NT B.J. Raji get by them at the No. 12 pick overall. NFL Net’s Mike Mayock had Raji in the late teens, but that’s hard to believe. The Broncos and Packers (at No. 9 overall) are both switching to versions of the 3-4 and need a nose tackle. Raji could go as high as to KC at No. 3.

Boston College DT B.J. Raji says he has not had problems playing in a two-gap system at the next level.
“I’m a game-changer,” said Raji, who’s been adding weight all offseason in a possible effort to attract 3-4 clubs. “I’m able to keep offensive linemen off linebackers on a consistent basis and make plays when the opportunity presents itself.” That’s the kind of unselfishness teams want in a true nose.

It would be nice to have a great nose tackle alongside Sedrick

…but do the Saints honestly think Raji is going to drop to 14? Why don’t they plant some drugs in his car and then drop a dime on him? Watch him plummet like a rock down the draft boards. They can even sign him cheaper than usual. “We believe in second helpings…er, chances.”

Oh when the Saints...Start kicking ass...You don't want to be in that number...
