Currently his best position is a pass rusher but he's currently a 3-4 LB (58 zone cover blah). We run a 4-3 and would like to move him to end to utilize his 81 finesse moves with his hand on the ground.
RE Sutton Smith
- Going into the offseason, the Saints wanted to address their pass rush. While Cam Jordan was a force, leading the team in sacks, the Saints brass feels a move inside would benefit not only him but allow the Saints to go out and get a speed rusher to compliment Marcus Davenport. Enter Sutton Smith, a guy who the Saints feel is the answer to getting some speed off the edge. A permanent move to DE and working with Von Miller in the offseason has worked wonders for Smith as he comes with more beef to handle the rigors down on the line and some new moves to get by opposing tackles.
PROPOSAL
+3 FMV (81 > 84)
-3 PMV (65 > 62)
+3 BSH (80 > 83)
-3 POW (73 > 70)
QB Frank Schiller
- Schiller came into the offseason figuring to prove to the Saints brass he is the long term answer at QB. He knew he had to improve on his accuracy, specifically short and medium throws as he was quite erratic last year, completing only 56% of his passes. He worked with NO great Drew Brees, who shares similar arm strength, in hopes of gaining more accuracy. "We literally worked on just throws...I have lots of speed but I'm really a pocket passer."
+2 MAC (83 > 85)
+1 SAC (84 > 85)
- 1 SPD (84 > 83)
-1 ACC (84 > 83)
-1 AGI (84 > 83)
I run a 4-3 and want to move Smith to LE. He currently has 81 finesse moves and 80 block shed. At LB, he possesses poor cover ratings (50) zone and (48) man...he's primarily a pass rushing specialist.
SAINTS GET:
WR Ahmmon Richards- 21 years old/ Normal DEV/ (78) OVR
