Report: Saints Hosting UCLA's Dorian Thompson-Robinson
USA TODAY Sports

It's the last day for teams to time, test, visit with, interview, or conduct a physical examination with a draft-eligible player at its facility. According to The Score's Jordan Schultz, the Saints are hosting UCLA's Dorian Thompson-Robinson on a Wednesday visit.

Thompson-Robinson is a two-time All Pac-12 prospect. He ran a 4.56-second 40-yard dash at the Combine. He's projected to be a Day 3 pick, and you can read more about him from my colleague Kyle T. Mosley. Also, be sure to check out his draft profile on The Draft Bible.

One of the more interesting things with Thompson-Robinson's outlook is some of the comments Jeff Ireland made at the Senior Bowl. He mentioned that the team has to be all-in on a quarterback when drafting one, and he likes the dual-threat quarterbacks like Thompson-Robinson.

“You’re looking for a very consistent evaluation on the quarterback position," Ireland said at the Senior Bowl. "We have to all be in on that particular evaluation and say, ‘Yeah, we all want this guy.’ So, whether he’s a running quarterback, a dual-threat quarterback, I mean ideally, if you’re asking me directly, I like the dual-threat quarterbacks, but they gotta be able to throw when they’re hurt. So, when they can’t move their legs, they gotta be able to throw. But, I do like the dual-threat guys.”
