Please post the players you belive we should be watching closely at the combine.

I really want to see Joyner the most. I think Christian Jones is going to blaze the 40 too

I think Dri Archer or De'Anthony Thomas in a later round could be our replacement for Sproles.

What about Shayne Skov ILB? Seems kinda slow but the combine won't lie. If he shows quickness, he could be a potential mid-late round draft pick.

If the Saints find Odell Beckham available at #27, I would take him. Why?
He is a game changer as a punt returner and WR. There are many other good players available, but not game changers. If Beckham, local boy who would have an intense following is gone, I would trade down. I believe there are a few teams in the early second or late first who would like to move up to grab a specific player. Let's say Houston for example.
At #33 I think LB Kyle Van Noy will be available.
At #59 if T Jack Mewhort is available, he would be a great pick who showed well at the Senior Bowl. I would let Strief go as he may be a bit expensive to re-sign. So may DeLaPuente.
At #91, I like C Marcus Martin who can also play guard. Many predict these two as NFL ready as rookies. If Tim Lelito, takes over at C, we have a capable backup who can also play guard or center. Or vice versa. Our running game should be improved.
In this scenario, the Saints get the first pick in the fourth round (c.#100) for trading down in the first. My choice is S Ahmad Dixon of Baylor. He is a SS who has the potential to be an early contributor.
With our own pick at #125, I would tab Brett Smith, QB of Wyoming. Smith is athletic and has considerable upside and is unknown by many.
Hopefully, with pick #160, Deion Blue, CB from Alabama is still available. With #195, I would take a chance on Deandre Coleman, DT from Cal. He has untapped potential and great size.
