jlrfalcon Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Saints defensive lineman Justin Zimmer got lost in the shuffle, but he’s an athlete on par with the best https://www.canalstreetchronicles.com/2017/3/28/15094894/new-orleans-saints-justin-zimmer-sheldon-rankins-nick-fairley-david-onyemata Zimmer was one of the last Saints cuts last year, comes from a small school so not very well-known, but might be one of those hidden treasures floating around.

rugger8 Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Justin Zimmer 2016 Draft Analysis 6'3" 292 http://www.nfl.com/draft/2016/profiles/justin-zimmer?id=2556350 Analysis Strengths Incredible upper body strength. Crushed out 44 reps at his pro day. Can expose blockers with core strength issues quickly. Uses pad level and hip snap at point of attack to generate leverage and pop when 2-gapping. Carries his weight well across his muscled frame. Can power through a blocker's edge as pass rusher. Three year starter with booming production spike as a senior. Highly intelligent. Weaknesses Tests out more athletically than he plays. Plays with some stiffness in his lower body which limits his bend and suddenness. Inconsistent anchor. Average pursuit range and quickness when forced to move laterally. Was able to dominate his level of competition with pure power over skill. Will need develop a go-to move and counter as a pass rusher. Bottom Line Muscular strongman in the middle with the physical measurables to catch the attention of teams. With a little better bend and leverage, Zimmerman could become a more consistent anchor in the middle, but he might not have the athleticism in his playing style to translate all of that senior season production into anything more than a back-end roster spot. -Lance Zierlein Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ergo Proxy Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 At least we are getting some bodies in place for DT. Size them up compared to all the scouting we've done on the DT draft prospects. No stone unturned before next Thursday. I like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rugger8 Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Garrison Smith 2014 Draft Profile UGA 6'1" 310LBS Overview 2013: Started in all 13 games he played in. Had 63 tackles, 10 tackles for loss and six sacks. 2012: Played in 14 games, making eight starts. Totaled 57 tackles, two tackles for loss and a fumble recovery. 2011: Played in 14 games with two starts, making 22 tackles and three tackles for loss. 2010: Appeared in seven games. Analysis Strengths Versatile -- lined up as a three-technique, played some nose tackle and base end. Flashes some strength and agility to keep working to come free. Weaknesses Short, squatty and undersized. Marginal athletic ability. Makes few plays laterally and is late to arrive. Struggles to control blockers. Is late to locate the ball -- does not feel blocking pressure and stays blocked. Motor runs hot and cold. Very limited closing speed. Minimal pass-rush potential. Draft Projection Priority free agent Bottom Line Tough, try-hard, slow-footed plodder. Make plays at him, but does not distinguish his play in any way. Offers some versatility and will have to fend for a job in a rotation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, go type Tyson Graham stats and Justin Zimmer stats into the google bar. A fat goose egg comes up. And Smith, as much as I loved him at UGA, has a whopping 11 games played, no starts, and 7 tackles in 4 years. Camp bodies, bro. Chance of any of them making the 53 is slim.

Beef Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 They're bringing these guys in because we literally can't even field a complete DL front in OTA's right now, we are that slim on DT's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GATXBOI Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Some nice young depth to bring some fresh competition to camp. Young vets who have something to prove and not fully made a name for themselves and still have room to learn and grow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, they're good in the sense that we need to get the roster to 90 players before OTAs and camp. Pretty much no risk and all fairly young, so not bad. Garrison Smith is probably the most significant as I'm reading comments from 49er fans that he played well for them in the preseason, and he's actually played snaps in the NFL before.

This is the absolute truth. I'm sure TD and Quinn has a plan, but if that plan doesn't work out I guess this is what we have.. Maybe they have 3 or 4 plans, idk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
