Draft Predictions?
 
I'm not sure if a thread like this has been posted or not, so mods feel free to move it if there is one. With the draft starting tonight, I thought it would be interesting to see what member's predictions were for the Saints and the #15 pick. I stated in a previous thread that I have this gut feeling the Saints are going to trade back. Now with the possible Ivory deal with the Jets on the table, I'm not so sure. Could they package him to the Jets to move up? Could they just take a straight up 5th round pick? I'm anxious to find out.

My final prediction: Saints trade their #15 to the 49ers for their #31 and the #34. With the #31 pick, the Saints draft Jonathan Cyprien, SS, Florida International.

my saints first round nightmares continue

Justin Hunter, WR, Tennessee

hate to say it but i fear this will be the pick

truthfully after all we talked about here i am still up in the air as to what the saints will do

trade out get a starting LT is the best deal i can think off. defense will be what the defense will be.

Three scenarios guaranteed to be wrong...

Saints trade up for DT Star Lotulelei
Saints stay put and pick OT Lane Johnson
Sainst trade down and pick CB Xavier Rhodes

Re: Draft Predictions?
 
Jarvis Jones is my best guess. He is the only one that will be there at 15 of the players I like.

Leighton B 04-25-2013 03:01 PM

Re: Draft Predictions?
 
MY HOPE IS IF WE STAY 15 "meaning our guy is there" LIKE STAR, MINGO, or VACCARO! OR WE TRADE DOWN "our guy isn't there but another team's is"
OR WE TRADE PLAYERS LIKE HARPER 5th or 6th, Ivory 3rd or 4th, or Thomas for a 4th or a 5th! OR WE DO BOTH TRADE DOWN AND TRADE ASSETS! WHICH I LIKE BUT ONLY IF YOUR BLUE CHIP DE, OLB, OR LT ARE ALL GONE!

Leighton B 04-25-2013 03:07 PM

Re: Draft Predictions?
 
I HOPE WE CAN COME UP WITH A COMBINATION OF CB, LT, OLB, DE, or SAFETY!
IF A TRADE DOWN IS IMMINENT! WE CAN GRAB: Jamie Collins, Terron Armstead, Robert Alford and or Tyran Matheiu, and Brandon Williams ALL IN MY MIND ARE BLUE CHIPPERS THAT ARE DEVALUED BECAUSE OF THE SCHOOL OR DIVISION! ALL IN MY MIND SURE FIRE STEALS IN MID ROUNDS! Or in Tyran Matheiu's case character flaws!

Re: Draft Predictions?
 
Im not sure if we are going to draft an OLB now, seen as we have galette, martez and butler signed, but if we do then great
Ive got a feeling we will go D line, O line or secondary, I wouldnt be suprised to see us trade back and land xavier rhodes, payton loves his CB's

Re: Draft Predictions?
 
To me the value this year is in the mid rounds so I hope we can acquire some more picks in rounds 2-5 so I can't wait for day 2 and 3!

Re: Draft Predictions?
 
Okay we all got our point across so there's no need to leave all that lagniappe stuff in the thread. Back to the thread...

As long as it's not a WR, I'll be okay with whomever we decide to go with. Lots of quality players that would fill positions of need and arguably be the BPA when we pick.

Leighton B 04-25-2013 03:37 PM

Re: Draft Predictions?
 
I believe we are in a good place roster wise not cap wise but talent wise! But I believe we need to maybe get some more picks for this yr and next because of the cap not going up until '15! The only way to solve that is by draftees!

Re: Draft Predictions?
 
According to Adam Shefter's Twitter account, the Niners are indeed looking to move up into the Top 15. Hmmmm. Saints are Top 15. I'd pull the trigger on this.

Supertek 04-25-2013 03:39 PM

Re: Draft Predictions?
 
Vaccaro I just think they need a playmaker on this defense

I think that the LBs (Mingo and Jones) will be long gone, and the choice will be between CB and OT.

If there is a supreme deity, let him smite the senses out of the Jets (should there be any left) and compel them to draft Geno Smith. Twice.

Re: Draft Predictions?
 
Trade with 49ers......and with the 31st pick the Saints select Tank Carridine.

If we stay put its gonna be Jarvis Jones.

Re: Draft Predictions?
 
If I could ready Mickey's Mind it would have an order of this:

1) Trade down
2) If there is no significant trade down or simply no interest then we go after Fisher/Joeckel/Johnson if they are on the board. There is no way in hell they will be so ...
3) We go after Barkevious Mingo. He probably won't be on the board so ...
4) We go after Jarvis Jones. He probably WILL be on the board but failing that we ...
5) Pick up Kenny Vaccaro. He almost certainly will be on the board but if he isn't ....
6) We take serious looks at Xavier Rhodes, DJ Hayden, Matt Elam, Eric Reid, Star Lotulelei and Sylvester Williams and take perceived 'best on board' from that lot
7) Someone has spiked his drink and we draft a WR (seriously why are people even talking about us drafting a wideout!)

Psychic Justin predicts from this side of the pond! Muhahahaha

realistic sleeper
 
anyone have a sleeper pick for the saints at 15 .... assuming they cant trade back they could reach here a little

Seer1 04-25-2013 06:05 PM

Re: Draft Predictions?
 
Justin Hunter. He's a receiver and he's from Tennessee. Just gettin' the glass refilled and the silly warmed up.

Re: Draft Predictions?
 
im going hayden as a sleeper.....but i hope mingo falls

spkb25 04-25-2013 06:52 PM

Re: Draft Predictions?
 
I really could see us getting the TE from ND if he's there and we don't move. Something tells me were gonna move back an pick up a 2nd rounder

im going to be wrong though.

voodooido 04-25-2013 06:52 PM

Re: Draft Predictions?
 
If Kenny Vaccaro is there at 15 then I think San Fran will trade up to get him. We would get 31 and a early second along with a 6th. Kevin Mintern from Lsu at 31 with Sylvester Williams DT in the 2nd. That would leave Kevin Faulk OT in the 3rd OR Terron Armstead OT Arkansas Pine bluff in the 4th.

spkb25 04-25-2013 06:52 PM

Re: Draft Predictions?
 
And I wouldn't be mad about the ND TE if he was there. Not at all

lee909 04-25-2013 06:57 PM

Re: Draft Predictions?
 
Hopefully Vaccaro is there,we might be able to get the 49ers,cowboys and Rams biting

Looks like Supertek and Leighton B were the winners here.
