NFL Network's Mike Mayock talking Saints on conference call right now: Thinks DE makes most sense for Saints at No. 24. He said no OLBs really fit a 4-3 defense at that area of the draft. And he also said DEs like Jordan, Heyward, Watt fit better in 3-4s. ...2 minutes ago Favorite Retweet Reply "Mike Triplett miketripletttp Mike Triplett

He said Iowa DE Adrian Clayborn may be staring the Saints in the face at that spot …

what kind of DE is he? A 3-4 OLB?

He played 4-3 DE in college

No real pass-rush though. More of a really good run stopper. Projected more as a 3-4 DE.

gotcha, thanks

we certainly don’t need another one of those.

Actually he’s 100% projected as a 4-3 DE not a 3-4 DE.

Pre-reply.

Yes 100% is a bit strong. But Clayborn and Bowers are considered to be the only true 4-3 DE’s in the draft and are not generally considered to go at any other position. Every other DE in the class is projected as either a 3-4/4-3 DE or a 4-3 DE/3-4 OLB.

You could probably add Quinn to this..although he has worked out at 3-4 OLB drills.
