Saints select Florida LB Alex Anzalone in 3rd round

The Saints have boosted their depth with another linebacker that has positional flexibility. It’ll be interesting to see where he fits in to their plans with Manti Te’o, A. J. Klein, Stephone Anthony, Dannell Ellerbe, Nate Stupar and Craig Robertson.

Here’s his write up on NFL.com:

Strengths – Has desired size and athleticism to fit into any defensive scheme. His fluid hips allow for easy flips and turns in space. Wide open strider with plus range. Makes up plenty of ground to the perimeter when looking to reel in running backs. Plays with gap-to-gap lateral quickness in his shuffle.
